"Go first and follow it"
On October 31, at the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy conference, Geely disclosed Thor Power for the first time;
On November 30, the core component of Raytheon Power, the 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro, rolled off the production line at the new Geely Raytheon Power DHT micron factory.
On December 25, the Thor-powered Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version officially opened pre-sale, 2022 places 8 minutes and 21 seconds sold out.
Obviously: in the car circle, compared with the "first say and then do" who first released the PPT and mass-produced after half a year and one year, the "first do and then say" that is released and mass-produced is more sought after by the market.
Of course, the market's pursuit does not depend on attitude, consumers' money will pay for the product force, Star Yue L Thor Hi · A large part of the "8-minute miracle" created by the X oil-electric hybrid version is due to the "mixing" strength.
"After that, before"
Compared with fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles with a single energy source, the main difficulty of oil-electric hybrid vehicles is the energy distribution between the engine and the motor.
If you think of a hybrid car as a company, the engine and the motor are the two employees of this company, when is the engine most efficient, when is the motor most efficient, and when is the engine and the motor working together the most efficient? With optimal labor distribution for engines and electric motors, companies (hybrid vehicles) can achieve low operating costs (low fuel consumption) and the fastest development speed (strong power) at the same time.
Toyota THS hybrid, Honda iMMD hybrid, or great wall lemon hybrid, BYD DM-i and other Chinese brand hybrid technology, no matter how different the technical route, is in the fuel consumption and power of the trade-off.
In general, if you want more fuel economy, you have to sacrifice a certain amount of power, such as THS hybrid; if you want more powerful power, you have to sacrifice a certain degree of fuel economy, such as lemon hybrid. And Geely Thor Power is a player with relatively large ambitions, fuel saving and strong power is the design intention of Geely Thor Power.
For this ambition, Geely Thor Power worked hard and figured out a hybrid artifact such as the 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro.
There is a saying in the rim, and the letters are terrible. With Pro as the suffix, it represents professionalism. The 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro is the world's first mass-produced 3-speed hybrid transmission, far superior to the Japanese brand of planetary gear transmission and 1-speed transmission, as well as the industry's leading self-owned brand of 2-speed transmission.
Where is the major? It is highly integrated with 1 power generation motor, 1 drive motor, 2 motor controllers and a 3-speed ratio variable speed increasing torque mechanism. At the same time, it also plays the role of an intelligent energy control hub, passing through pure electric drive, oil-electric hybrid drive, recovered energy power generation, intelligent energy distribution and 3-speed increase to achieve the advantages of low fuel consumption, strong power and long endurance.
For example, the intelligent energy control center is like NBA Spurs head coach Popovich, taking advantage of Parker's sharp breakthrough and sophisticated throwing, Ginobili's gorgeous and creative offense, and flawless top interior Duncan, who is like a mountain, to lead this unpretentious team to win five championships and create one legend and history after another.
"Don't look at the ads, look at the curative effect"
Before the official pre-sale, Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version launched a 1300km ultra-long endurance challenge for a tank of oil, starting from the neighboring suburbs of Beijing, spanning many provinces and cities in the north and south, and successfully arriving in Jiaxing City, south of Shanghai, in the early morning of the next day. One of the hoshikoshi L Thor Hi· X oil-electric hybrid version, the longest mileage of a tank of fuel reached an astonishing 1426.1km, the lowest fuel consumption of 100 kilometers was only 3.9L, setting a new record for the lowest fuel consumption of the domestic hybrid five-seat flagship SUV.
As mentioned above, fuel saving and strong power are the original design intentions of Geely Thor Power. The minimum level of 3.9L/100km does not mean that Geely Raytheon Power has biased the hybrid balance towards fuel consumption economy.
Thanks to the full-speed parallel fit advantage brought by the 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro (Japanese hybrids are usually paralleled above 70-80km/h, lemon hybrids need to be more than 35km/h), in the urban working conditions of 30-70km/h, hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · X can bring 0.5G acceleration G value, acceleration body feeling significantly enhanced; and in 80-120km/h high-speed road conditions, 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro can achieve gear downshift speed, release 60% of the reserve power, high-speed overtaking capacity is at least 30% higher than the competitors.
With the world's first mass-produced supercharged direct-injection hybrid special engine - DHE15 hybrid engine with a maximum thermal efficiency of 43.32%, a maximum torque of 225 N·m and a maximum power of 110 kW, hoshigoku L Raytheon Hi · The X-Oil-Electric Hybrid Edition has a 50% higher acceleration capacity than its Japanese competitors, and its acceleration from 100 km/h is shortened to 7.9 seconds.
Compared with the common oil-electric hybrid models on the market, The Star-Vietnam L Thor Hi · The advantages of the X oil-electric hybrid version, both in terms of fuel economy and power strength, are obvious.
"'Mixing' is good, because the family is good"
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · With a minimum fuel consumption level of 3.9L/100km and a 100-kilometer acceleration performance of 7.9 seconds, the X oil-electric hybrid version shouts "the strongest sound in the field of global hybridization", which is not unrelated to the Seiko manufacturing behind it.
The refined manufacturing process originates from the precision manufacturing plant and the strict manufacturing system, the current Geely new energy system from product design, research and development, manufacturing and supply management, sales and service and other full system electrification, to build a science and technology Geely 4.0 era of comprehensive electrification of the "strongest system force", which is also the deep reason why Geely in the field of hybrid first-mover.
As one of the core bases of Leishen Power, the DHT smart micron factory located in Yiwu adopts "micron-level" engraving precision manufacturing and "micro-level" management system to comprehensively benchmark European luxury car standards. The "Hybrid Artifact" 3rd Gear DHT Pro was born in the new Geely Raytheon Power DHT Micron Factory, which is the highlight of the plant. The plant uses machine tools such as EMAG, Prawaimar and GROB, and the equipment such as Issiem vacuum furnaces for carburizing and quenching, and even includes the first EMA fully automatic water-cooled quenching machine in Asia.
For example, using Asia's top roll-in honing process, the roughness of the gear tooth surface is increased from Ra0.4 of the traditional grinding tooth to Ra0.25, and the surface processing trace depth is less than 2 microns, which is better than the 3.2 micron of the tooth grinding process commonly used in the industry; for example, it has the first EMA automatic water-cooled quenching machine in Asia, and the deformation of the planetary ring gear shape after heat treatment is controlled within ±8 microns; for example, the texture depth of the surface of the bearing shaft diameter of the superfinished input and output bearings is less than 1 micron. Ensures a long life of 3DC Pro 350,000 km.
Geely personally made and measured parts to ensure that the manufacture and assembly of the 3-speed DHT Pro was within the "micron" level accuracy range, and after the "micron-level" process polishing, the accuracy of the 3-speed DHT Pro was two levels higher than that of the traditional AT transmission.
At the same time, Geely has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build two major test systems, EOL testing and valve body testing, which are 100% automatically tested according to actual driving conditions to ensure that the functions and performance of each transmission are all recorded. The equivalent of every 3-stop DHT Pro has a "graduation file".
In addition, Geely New Energy Power Test Center, which has the largest investment scale, advanced equipment and the most complete functions in China, adopts the strict research and development and test standards of luxury and high-end brands to support the new energy power tests of the world's top high-performance brands and supercar brands. To put it bluntly, the reason why Geely Thor Power can "mix" well, in addition to the advanced research and development concept and advanced technical route, the good family foundation is also one of the important reasons.
This is like building a house, the design drawings, building materials, quality verification system are top-notch, and the final house is naturally overpowered by the opponent.
"World-class oil-electric hybrid track, Geely will be the first echelon representative player"
The "new manufacturing" of the micron level, the "new standard" of rigorous testing, gave birth to the 3-speed DHT Pro, a new invention that redefines hybridization. Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The actual performance of the X oil-electric hybrid version can be seen: power, fuel consumption, and endurance have formed a comprehensive transcendence of the Japanese hybrid, breaking the long-term monopoly of "two fields dominating the oil-electric hybrid market", and once again refreshing the cognition of "China's technology leading the world".
In the future world-class oil-electric hybrid circuit, Geely will be the first echelon representative player.
