🚔12: How Autohaven Will Take on TikTok

Autohaven & Tiktok

TikTok recently shared about the car community on their platform, and it's nothing short of staggering.

89% of TikTokers now express an interest in cars and their main car hashtag is experiencing +25% year-on-year growth in video views!

That changes a lot with car ownership.

Car buyers now prefer to watch other people's reviews of the cars they want to buy.

They also found that many within their auto community are ride-or-die fans - strong 'brand loyalists' who prioritise a car's brand, reputation, and heritage.

This makes platforms like TikTok the go-to place where auto brands can reach their future consumers and actually create their next generation of brand advocates.

Well how does Autohaven come into this big boy play?

By creating an environment for car enthusiasts to share visual and textual content about cars and showing the same to the right audience.

I know it sounds easier said than done, but we have a plan for this and it's different to TikTok's "post about a car and put these tags" strategy. No, we'll go a few levels deeper than that.

TikTok has done a great job already. We will try to extend that and just for the car community. We do deserve nice things too.

So yes, in the near future you'll be able to share visual and textual car content, in a nice and structured way.

At the moment, you can already share images with text on our car feed, but we will be revamping that to a more complete social media for cars platform!

Electronic Fuel Injection Systems

In the previous installment of the Heart of the Machine series, we reviewed the debut of turbocharging in production cars, spotlighting the 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire. 

Building on that theme of evolution, now is the time to look at how the electronic fuel injection (EFI) system found its way under the hood of your car – or just about any other car in the world, tracing their origins from the early days of automotive engineering to the technologies of today and beyond. 

The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is a sophisticated system that uses electronic controls to manage the fuel delivery to an engine. 

Unlike traditional carburetors, which rely on mechanical processes to mix air and fuel, EFI systems utilize advanced electronics and sensors to ensure that the engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs for optimal performance. 

This not only enhances engine efficiency but also reduces harmful emissions.

Emission Control Technologies

After scrutinizing the electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems on engine efficiency and performance in our previous article, we now turn our attention to emission control technologies, with a particular focus on catalytic converters and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. 

Catalytic converters and EGR systems are the silent warriors of our roads, quietly transforming toxic fumes into cleaner air and healthier cities.

This article goes in-depth on emission control technologies from the past, connecting them to the present and forecasting the future!

It's a nice read for us who care about the environment :)
