Visited Yukho, General Manager of Kumar Tyres

1. Yokohama Tires The past few auto shows were all based on the theme of environmental protection. What is the theme of this year's exhibition?

Answer: The theme for the exhibitors of our 2012 Beijing Auto Show is eco-friendly and energy-saving. This theme has not changed. I think that the theme of environmental protection and energy saving has nothing to do with time. For our company, this theme is unchanged. However, we have a strong brand of sportswear, and the ADVAN brand has long been firmly rooted in the hearts of people.

The difference between this year's Beijing auto show and the past is that we have fully put forward our brand publicity slogan - "Mutual Change". Let me explain what it means.

In many ways, including our lives, our environment is constantly changing. Our corporate activities are faced with an ever-changing environment and we hope to make qualitative changes. This is "evolution." In the face of "changes," corporate activities can continue to "evolve." Therefore, we also hope to gradually improve the development of eco-friendly energy-saving tires and sales of tires.

The brand slogan of “Quality Evolution”, which we speak of, and the spirit of the Chinese National Track and Field team participating in the London Olympics that are constantly undergoing trials, hard training, and improving the level of competition have a very high degree of identity. Therefore, we become The official sponsor of the China National Track and Field team.

We hope to convey what we call the “transformation forward” brand spirit to the visitors to the auto show and the media friends.

2. In the ever-growing Chinese tire market, what are the new goals for Ukoma tires?

Answer: China's auto market has grown very rapidly and will continue to grow in the future. Our company is basically a "growth route." Yokohama Rubber Group proposed the "GD100" medium-term plan. The first year of its third stage is 2012. Yokohama Rubber China's third phase of its business plan aims to increase sales by more than two times to more than RMB 12.4 billion compared to the second phase of the previous period.

In the future, we will continue to serve as a firm rooted in China and continue our business in China.

3. With regard to the composition ratio of the number of tire sales so far by Yokohama Tires, how much are OEs and REPs?

Answer: The composition of OE and REP is half and half. However, we have found that when replacing tires, there are many consumers who choose to buy new cars with original tires and brands. Therefore, we will work hard to sell more original tires for new cars to automakers.

4. Please introduce the main products of this year's Beijing Auto Show Yukoma.

Answer: Our main exhibiting products are new products that we will market this year.

One is Wei Chi AE-01, which is a new product of the BluEarth Wei Chi series following the Wei Chi-1 product that was launched in March this year.

Another new product to be launched on the market is the GEOLANDAER series G055.

These two new products are eco-friendly and energy-saving products. They all use our company's unique “Orange Oil Formula” and use nano-blend rubber technology. We will gradually market and sell these two products in the second half of this year, so stay tuned.

Engine Parts

Engine Block – This is the very core of the engine. Often made of aluminum or iron, it has several holes to contain the cylinders as well as provide water and oil flow paths to cool and lubricate the engine. Oil paths are narrower than the water flow paths. The engine block also houses the pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, and between four and twelve cylinders-depending on the vehicle, in a line, also known as inline, flat, or in the shape of a V.
Pistons – Are a cylindrical apparatus with a flat surface on top. The role of the piston is to transfer energy created from combustion to the crankshaft to propel the vehicle. Pistons travel up and down within the cylinder twice during each rotation of the crankshaft. Pistons on engines that rotate at 1250 RPM, will travel up and down 2500 times per minute. Inside the piston, lie piston rings that are made to help create compression and reduce the friction from the constant rubbing of the cylinder.
Crankshaft – The crankshaft is located in the lower section of the engine block, within the crankshaft journals (an area of the shaft that rests on the bearings). This keenly machined and balanced mechanism is connected to the pistons through the connecting rod. Similar to how a jack-in-the-box operates, the crankshaft turns the pistons up and down motion into a reciprocal motion, at engine speed.
Camshaft – Varying from vehicle to vehicle, the camshaft may either be located within the engine block or in the cylinder heads. Many modern vehicles have them in the cylinder heads, also known as Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) or Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC), and supported by a sequence of bearings that are lubricated in oil for longevity. The role of the camshaft is to regulate the timing of the opening and closing of valves and take the rotary motion from the crankshaft and transfer it to an up and down motion to control the movement of the lifters, moving the pushrods, rockers, and valves.
Cylinder Head – Attached to the engine through cylinder bolts, sealed with the head gasket. The cylinder head contains many items including the valve springs, valves, lifters, pushrods, rockers, and camshafts to control passageways that allow the flow of intake air into the cylinders during the intake stroke as well as exhaust passages that remove exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke.

Timing Belt/Chain – The camshaft and crankshafts are synchronized to ensure the precise timing in order for the engine to run properly. The belt is made of heavy-duty rubber with cogs to grasp the pulleys from the camshaft and crankshaft. The chain, similar to your bicycle chain wraps around pulleys with teeth.

With so many mechanisms performing many tasks at lightning speed, over time, parts may begin to wear causing your car to behave differently. Here are the most common engine problems and their associated symptoms:

Poor compression – Results in loss of power, misfiring, or no-start.
Cracked engine block – Causes overheating, smoke coming from exhaust, or coolant leaks, usually identified on the side of the engine.
Damaged Pistons, Rings, and/or Cylinders – Exhibit rattling sounds, blue smoke coming from the exhaust, rough idle, or a failed emissions test.
Broken or worn Rods, Bearings, & Pins – Cause tapping or ticking sounds, low oil pressure, metal shavings found in engine oil, or rattling upon acceleration.
Car engines may seem complicated, but their task is simple: to propel your vehicle forward. With so many components working together to create this motion, it`s imperative your vehicle receives proper maintenance to ensure their longevity. Regularly scheduled oil changes, fluid flushes, and changing belts and hoses at the recommended time is a great way to help prevent the unfortunate circumstance of a failed engine.
