Recently, Geely Automobile announced that it has created the first alcohol-electric hybrid sedan with the 4th generation Emgrand as the carrier, with the strongest energy saving rate of 40% in the same class and the maximum design output torque of the industry's highest 4920N·m differential, truly achieving "low energy consumption" and "strong power", which is the sixth generation model created by Geely based on methanol technology. At the same time, Geely Methanol Automobile won the Special Jury Award for the R&D and Application of the Second "China Automotive Award".
Geely Automobile adheres to the diversified development of energy, and at the Geely Automobile Power Technology brand conference on November 1 last year, in addition to the release of Leishen Power and the intelligent hybrid platform - Leishen Zhiqing Hi · In addition to X, Geely Automobile also introduced the progress of methanol technology, through 17 years of deep cultivation of methanol vehicle technology research, to solve the world-class technical problems in the application of methanol internal combustion engine, with more than 200 core patents, making Geely the only enterprise in the world with mass production methanol vehicle technology.
Based on this, equipped with Thor's Intelligence Engine Hi · The methanol hybrid model of the X hybrid system will be launched in 2022, which can achieve a alcohol consumption of 9.0L/100km, and the cost is less than 0.3 yuan / km, which is not surprisingly based on the alcohol and electric model built by the fourth generation Emgrand. By 2025, the next generation of methanol models will be released, the alcohol consumption of 100 kilometers will be reduced to about 7.6L, and the travel cost per kilometer will be further reduced to 0.2 yuan.
It can be seen that Emgrand is a classic model of Geely Automobile, with cumulative sales of more than 3 million vehicles, based on the alcohol-electric hybrid sedan built by the fourth generation of Emgrand, equipped with Lei Shen Zhi Qing Hi · The X hybrid system can achieve "maximum design output torque of the 4920N·m differential" and have a 40% energy saving rate. Methanol is a new green and clean energy recognized worldwide, Geely Automobile has been engaged in methanol vehicle research for 17 years, with an investment of more than 3 billion yuan in this field and more than 200 related core patents. Since 2005, Geely has pioneered the application of methanol technology to family cars, and has launched six generations of methanol models so far.
This year, Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, suggested that methanol vehicles should be included in the development system and management of new energy vehicles, giving methanol vehicles the same policy support as new energy vehicles, driving more enterprises to invest in the research and development of methanol vehicles, and accelerating the realization of carbon neutrality in the transportation field. It is recommended to promote methanol vehicles, which is not the first time Li Shufu has proposed it at the meeting. As early as a few years ago, Li Shufu began to advocate the promotion of methanol vehicles. As early as 2015, Geely Group invested US$45.5 million (about 282 million yuan) in Icelandic Carbon Cycle International and began to bet on the new energy track of methanol vehicles.
