Affected by multiple factors, the recent international oil prices have been rising, and the cost of domestic vehicle fuel is also rising. As a major energy consumer, the mainland has always given priority to saving energy resources. At this year's two sessions, "energy conservation and carbon reduction" has once again become a hot word in the government work report. Improving energy efficiency is a top priority and a top priority. According to research data from relevant institutions, the contribution of energy conservation to the carbon peak of the mainland by 2030 is about 70%.
Under the guidance of the "double carbon target", the automotive industry, as a national pillar industry, shoulders the heavy responsibility of energy conservation and emission reduction, and the transformation of electrification cannot be delayed. As a bridging transition method between fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles have a special contribution to the development of the industry and energy conservation and emission reduction at this stage, and their role in "energy saving and carbon reduction" cannot be underestimated.
Dongfeng Honda hybrid technology effectively helps energy saving and carbon reduction
"Fuel saving" is the label of Japanese cars, and Honda has been committed to the exploration and research of hybrid technology for more than 20 years. As one of the pioneers of hybrid technology, from the original IIMA to the current i-MMD SPORT HYBRID e+, Honda's hybrid technology has been a world leader.
The National Engineering Laboratory for Electric Vehicles at Beijing Institute of Technology has conducted an experiment, which conducted a one-month professional comparison test on the hybrid and fuel versions of CR-V and INSPIRE produced by Dongfeng Honda. The test report shows that the fuel consumption of INSPIRE hybrid and CR-V hybrid comprehensive working conditions is as high as 43.77% and 41.78% respectively compared with the fuel version. As the only designated testing base for electric vehicle motors and their controllers in continental, the professionalism and impartiality of the laboratory cannot be doubted. The two hybrid models can demonstrate the strong strength of Honda's sharp hybrid technology in terms of energy saving under harsh inspection conditions, and are worthy of being called "world-class hybrid technology".
According to industry estimates, if a hybrid vehicle can save more than 30% of fuel, each ordinary car can save about 378 liters of fuel per year, and the corresponding carbon dioxide emission reduction is 832 kg. If the sales volume of hybrid vehicles accounts for 10% of the annual sales volume of cars in the country, it can save 145 million liters of fuel per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 318,000 tons.
In the Chinese market, Dongfeng Honda currently has four powertrains: fuel, pure electricity, hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Dongfeng Honda's sharp hybrid family, which is composed of CR-V, INSPIRE and Airis, has achieved full coverage of the three fields of cars, SUVs and MPVs, and has been widely praised in terms of sales and word of mouth, laying the foundation for Dongfeng Honda's leading position in the hybrid market. The Dongfeng Honda hybrid family is becoming an important force in energy conservation and carbon reduction.
In addition to products, Dongfeng Honda New Energy Plant was officially settled in Wuhan at the beginning of this year, with a basic annual production capacity of 120,000 vehicles. As Honda's first new energy benchmark plant in the world, the new plant will make full use of renewable energy sources such as solar power generation to help achieve the "double carbon" goal. In addition, the new plant will also use water recycling and other measures to save resources and minimize the emission of air pollutants, becoming another important starting point for Dongfeng Honda to help save energy and reduce carbon.
The CR-V hybrid combines environmental protection with driving pleasure
As an industry benchmark, the CR-V has always been the leading model in realizing the latest technology and powertrain, and has taken the lead in combining "strong power" and "low fuel consumption" to make environmental protection and driving pleasure coexist.
In 2017, when the fifth-generation CR-V was equipped with an advanced i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, the CR-V officially ushered in the dual-power era, pulling down the lower limit of fuel consumption of SUV models.
In 2021, as Honda's first plug-in hybrid model in China, cr-V Sharp Hybrid e+ has achieved a pure electric mileage of more than 80km, with a fuel consumption of 1.3L (NEDC working conditions) for 100 kilometers, and even the fuel consumption of feed is only 4.6L, which is unparalleled in the same level of SUV models.
Of course, excellent energy-saving performance is not premised on sacrificing power. The SPORT Hybrid e+ system is equipped with a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle engine with a maximum power of 107 kW and a maximum torque of 175 Nm, while the drive motor has a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 315 N m. Both power sources provide the CR-V with the power response and quiet ride of a fuel-free model. While ensuring high efficiency and energy saving, environmental protection and driving pleasure are no longer lost.
CR-V led Dongfeng Honda 7 million vehicles upwards
Affected by the supply chain crisis caused by the spread of the global epidemic, the sales of major multinational car companies were affected last year. The shortage of chips alone will reduce China's automobile production by about 2 million units in 2021. With strong institutional advantages, Dongfeng Honda actively responded to challenges and achieved steady development, and still achieved relatively good sales results last year.
According to official data, in 2021, Dongfeng Honda will start 761879 vehicles in the whole year, and terminal sales will reach 793272 vehicles. A Dongfeng Honda executive told "a hammer to make up the word" that if it were not for the impact of the chip, Dongfeng Honda's sales could exceed one million last year.
In terms of models, CR-V is still the sales force of Dongfeng Honda, with annual sales of 222325 vehicles, accounting for 28.02% of the total annual sales, and became the 2021 joint venture SUV sales champion.
As a global model, the CR-V has sold well in more than 160 countries and regions since its launch, becoming the common choice of 11 million users around the world. In 2004, the first car of Dongfeng Honda off the production line was the CR-V, which not only successfully created a market segment of Chinese urban SUVs, but also gained the trust of more than 2.4 million users in China so far.
In the past 18 years, if CR-V has painted 2.4 million wonderful urban SUV eras, then Dongfeng Honda has laid a corporate legend of 7 million vehicles in 18 years based on CR-V.
Standing in the ranks of technology forerunners, with 7 million vehicles as the new anchor point, Dongfeng Honda, which is accelerating the transformation of electrification, under the blessing of hard core technologies such as the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system and the SPORT Hybrid e+ system, with e:NS1 as the vanguard force, escorted by leading hybrid products such as the CR-V hybrid family, Dongfeng Honda is accelerating to seize the leading position of the new electrification track, and will continue to lead the industry to achieve "energy saving and carbon reduction" The goal is to provide dongfeng Honda solutions.
