The Beijing Auto Show has been postponed, and automakers have not been idle, and have recently released important new cars and technologies.
GAC Trumpchi, which has been laid out earlier in the field of hybrids, also officially released a new "Julang Hybrid" technology brand on the evening of April 26, and simultaneously unveiled the mystery of Yingku, which will become the first new car equipped with Julang Hybrid GMC2.0.
Different from other independent brands, GAC Trumpchi has played two technical routes of self-research + absorption breakthrough, which can be called the most abundant brand of hybrid route.
Self-developed GMC + Toyota THS all
The "mixed" war of independent brands has long become the main theme of today's car market, when BYD DM-i is sold, Geely Thundershin, Great Wall DHT are famous, GAC Trumpchi's hybrid brand seems to come slower.
But the fact is that the part of GAC Trumpchi in the field of hybridization has long been traceable, and there is no lack of technical reserves. One is GAC's self-developed GMC hybrid, and the other hybrid system is to attract and digest Toyota's THS system, which is currently installed on the second-generation Trumpchi GS8.
Based on this, the "content" of GAC Trumpchi Julang hybrid technology may be the most among independent brands, covering heV and PHEV, and even FCV and other categories.
The first route is GAC's self-developed GMC dual motor series parallel hybrid system, after many iterations, the official said to have five core advantages of high quality, low fuel consumption, strong power, quieter and ultra-smooth, and strong scalability, covering oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid, extender hybrid, and even hydrogen power system.
The second route is to digest and absorb Toyota's THS hybrid system, and carry out localization breakthrough innovation, the current 2.0TM engine of GAC has matched Toyota's latest THS power shunt hybrid system, taking into account low fuel consumption and strong power. The new second-generation GS8 dual engine series, zero hundred acceleration of 6.9 seconds, under the extreme test, a tank of oil can even run more than 2000 kilometers.
Focusing on the GMC hybrid system, the maximum thermal efficiency of the matching 2.0ATK engine is 42.1%, which has reached the leading level in China and even the world, ensuring the fundamentals of strong power. However, the light has a high peak is far from enough, the efficiency value is also a very important indicator, GMC electromechanical coupling system pioneered the integrated dual motor multi-stop DHT, can achieve multi-stop multi-mode drive and large torque output, WLTC working conditions under the thermal efficiency utilization rate of more than 95.5%.
Trumpchi GMC is a two-gear structure, compared to other hybrids on the market, one more gear, improving torque output at the same time, so that the engine is in a more efficient working range after intervention in the drive. The GMC hybrid system adopts the full-speed domain full-field intelligent energy management strategy to meet the efficient and energy-saving travel of more scenarios.
Toyota's THS is more well known, with more than 20 million users worldwide, but GAC Trumpchi is not "copying", but for Chinese users, technological breakthroughs, optimizations, and, of course, brought more cost-effective prices. On the GS8, which is already equipped with the system, the combination of THS and 2.0T engines has been realized, allowing turbocharged engines to "blossom" with THS.
On the way to the electrification of car companies, it is not a binary replacement of fuel vehicles and EV models, and the advantages of hybrid models are still very obvious, and the recent market sales are also confirming this. We do not deny that the market share of EVs will become higher and higher, but the "oiled" car is still the mainstream of the market, and the julang hybrid is not only a switch in product form, but also a weapon for GAC Trumpchi to continue to soar.
Can Trumpchi recreate the Blockbuster Family?
The amount of information at last night's Trumpchi press conference was far more than hybrid, and the new model Offilm Was also officially unveiled.
At present, the information known is that Yingku is a compact SUV based on the GPMA architecture, and the Julang Hybrid GMC2.0 will also be installed on the new car, and it is foreseeable that the power of the new car has been more than "enough", and even "excess" can be described.
GAC Trumpchi Yingku will be equipped with julang hybrid system
In terms of power, in addition to the julang hybrid, Yingku adopts the 2.0ATK high-efficiency Atkinson engine + GMC 2.0 second-generation electromechanical coupling system, and the version of the Julang Power 1.5TGDI engine and the Julang Power 2.0TGDI engine will also be provided to consumers. Compact models have high horsepower, the key is also particularly fuel-efficient, Trumpchi for the SUV market, this time is really fighting.
At the design level, Yingku continues a large number of design languages of the previous EMKOO concept models, and labels such as technology, dynamics, and avant-garde seem to be adapted to TA, and the front face is extremely recognizable, in the face of the same SUV, Yingku has left many memory points at least in the shape.
It can also be seen from the naming that Trumpchi has created a family of "shadow" characters outside the GA, GS and M series, the first three correspond to cars, SUVs and MPVs, but the "shadow" generation does not frame the body form, but conveys the product concept of youth.
In the past few years, Trumpchi has experienced a lot of storms, and some model sales are indeed inconsistent with expectations, but they have also created super hits of M8 and Shadow Leopard, and recently they have also borrowed the wind of hybridization to make GS8 nirvana. Here is also inserted, M8, Shadow Leopard will also launch a version of the wave hybrid in the future.
Instead of sticking to product boundaries, it is better to respond to the situation and expand your product series. Driven by the "hybrid + intelligent" dual core and supported by the GMC and THS dual systems, Trumpchi's next hit is already on the way.
