Increasing wading depth: it can significantly increase the wading depth of the vehicle, theoretically making the wading height of some vehicles reach the roof position. 3. Reducing the impact of waves on the engine: when driving in rough water, it can reduce the impact of water flow on the engine and reduce the risk of engine damage. 4. Preventing turbine damage: for turbocharged vehicles, it can prevent the turbine from being damaged by water impact and prolong the service life of the turbine. 5. Optimizing combustion efficiency: reducing the chances of inhaling dust and impurities during vehicle driving helps to optimize engine combustion efficiency and prolong its service life.
