Every spring, the willow catkins flutter like snow, causing many inconveniences to people's lives. In the world of commercial vehicles, these tiny willow catkins have also become a problem that cannot be ignored.
They quietly arrive and may bring a series of troubles and safety hazards to the beloved vehicles. How to deal with and solve this? Let's take a look together.
Air intake system blockage
Excessive accumulation of willow catkins can cause the air filter to become clogged. Insufficient engine air intake will affect the engine's power output and, in turn, the fuel consumption.
Countermeasures
Regular inspections and purging, and replacement when necessary
Engine compartment
When willow catkins enter the engine compartment of the truck, it may cause poor engine cooling, increase the risk of engine overheating, and thereby affect the vehicle performance and engine lifespan.
Countermeasures
The cotton fibers attached to the engine need to be cleaned up in time.
The radiator (air conditioner) is not functioning properly for heat dissipation.
Too much fluff accumulated between the intercooler and the radiator, causing poor engine cooling and resulting in poor air conditioning cooling 
performance.
Countermeasures
Clean and wash the radiator and air conditioning filter.
Post-processing ignition risk
After passing through the area with dense willow catkins, the accumulated leaves and willow catkins at the processing location pose a risk of igniting a fire due to high temperatures.
Countermeasures
Try to park away from flammable materials or promptly clear and dispose of any accumulated debris.
Willow catkins may seem insignificant,
but if not handled carefully,
they can cause big problems for your car.
Stay away from the catkins and pay attention to your driving safety!
