"After 13 years of technological precipitation, through open cooperation and independent research and development, GAC Trumpchi has become the only brand with a dual-hybrid technology route. Julang Hybrid is the hybrid technology brand launched by GAC Trumpchi in the context of 'double carbon' with customer experience as the center, deep insight into the needs of market users. ”
At the press conference of GAC Trumpchi Hybrid Brand and EMKOO Shadow Cool yesterday, Zhang Yuesai, general manager of GAC Passenger Vehicle, said confidently.
As a result, GAC Trumpchi officially released the electrification strategy and officially announced the brand name of the new hybrid technology "Julang Hybrid".

At the press conference, as the first SUV of Julang Hybrid GMC2.0, Trumpchi Shadow Cool EMKOO was also officially unveiled. Starting this year, in addition to Yingku, GAC Trumpchi will also successively launch hybrid models of Shadow Leopard and M8 to enter the hybrid market.
The wheels of the new energy automobile industry are rolling forward, and hybrid technology is not the latest technology, but in the past year, it has been eye-catching with a rapid and rapid trend. According to the policy plan, by 2025, the proportion of new hybrid vehicles in the mainland should reach more than 50%, and by 2030, the proportion will further reach 75%.
For GAC Trumpchi, hybridization is one of the core routes of its future development, and it is also the key to achieving its dual-carbon target. GAC Trumpchi plans to achieve hybridization of all models in 2025 and 60% of hybrid sales in 2030, challenging to achieve carbon neutrality in 2045.
At present, Trumpchi's first hybrid model Trumpchi GS8 hybrid dual engine series is in the limelight, although the chip is limited to affect production capacity, but still in March to achieve sales of more than 4,000 vehicles, from January to March this year, GS8 dual engine series terminal sales ranked first in 200,000 independent hybrid SUV, April hybrid model orders accounted for up to 60%. This data also further reflects the fact that hybrid models are gradually standing on the mainstream stage of the car market.
Trumpchi is cutting into this new blue ocean with the technical advantage of "double hybrid" that is difficult to replicate - "Julang Hybrid".
So, can Trumpchi's "ju wave" set off a huge wave in the new blue ocean of hybridity?
GMC +THS, the advantage of being difficult to replicate
At present, the hybrid is ushering in a window of opportunity.
In the new energy vehicle popularity ranking of the major automobile vertical platforms, a variety of plug-in and mixed models can always occupy more than ten positions in the top ten, and it is naturally impossible for major car companies to look at one or two companies that enjoy this blue ocean exclusively, and various plug-and-mix models have sprung up one after another.
In March this year alone, the four major independent brands of Great Wall, Geely, Changan and Chery have listed hybrid models, and many leading independent car companies have followed up to launch hybrid technology platforms. Previously, BYD used DM-i technology to play a beautiful turnaround battle, and plug-in hybrid technology has a great trend of becoming mainstream. This also indicates that future hybrids should achieve multi-layer coverage at the technical level to meet the needs of multiple car scenes.

"Hybrid is the best choice at the moment, is entering a golden period of development, will open trumpchi's first year of hybrid, to be the head player of the low-carbon era." Zhang Yuesai, general manager of GAC Passenger Vehicles, said that in order to achieve this goal, GAC Trumpchi will fully focus on hybridization, and through the dual-track parallel mode of "Toyota THS Hybrid System + GAC Self-developed GMC Hybrid System", it will make full efforts in the field of hybridization and promote the landing of hybrid new vehicles.
Through open cooperation and technological innovation, GAC Trumpchi has become the only brand with a dual hybrid technology route.
GAC Trumpchi believes that Julang Hybrid is a hybrid technology brand launched under the background of "double carbon" with deep insight into the needs of market users, including two hybrid technology routes: one route is the forward self-developed GMC dual motor series parallel hybrid system, and the other route is the THS power shunt hybrid system cooperated with Toyota, which realizes the combination of turbocharged engine and THS system.
One of the paths of GAC Trumpchi forward self-developed GMC dual motor series parallel hybrid system, with strong extensibility characteristics, covering oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid and even hydrogen power system, covering the full hybrid scene.
Among them, the first integrated dual motor multi-gear DHT, can achieve multi-stop multi-mode drive and large torque output, system efficiency and energy management optimization; the use of transmission transmission mechanism, dual motor and motor control all-in-one highly integrated design; and compared with the current mainstream hybrid system on the market, GMC hybrid has one more gear, improve torque output at the same time, can make the engine in a more efficient working range after driving, so that the vehicle energy consumption is lower, the power is stronger.
Based on the background of the long-term successful cooperation between GAC and Toyota, the second path is to absorb and innovate the GAC 2.0TM engine to match Toyota's latest THS power shunt hybrid system, taking into account low fuel consumption and strong power. It became the first Chinese brand equipped with Toyota THS hybrid system.
One can cover the whole scene, the other can take into account low fuel consumption and strong power, and both hands are very hardcore.
It can be said that through its more than ten years of research and development investment in hybrid technology and the blessing of Toyota technology, GAC Trumpchi relies on the "double hybrid technology" route molding, which has achieved the advantages of the technical path that is difficult for other car companies to replicate, and also helps GAC Trumpchi to quickly establish its own hybrid technology label in the market.
"Catfish" shadow cool
Changjiang Securities believes in the research report that the domestic A-class market in the range of 100,000-200,000 yuan is subject to cost, and the competitiveness of pure electric vehicles in terms of mileage and configuration is not as strong as that of the two-end market (the price is less than 50,000 yuan and the price is higher than 200,000 yuan); at the same time, the 100,000-200,000 yuan market is the most "picky" as an economic market consumer, and has higher requirements for endurance, performance, configuration, etc. In contrast, the cost increase of hybrid models is relatively small, and the current pricing can be basically equal to that of fuel vehicles, becoming an important supplement to new energy vehicles.
Once hybrid technology goes to parity, then fuel vehicles will also come to an end, and now this is happening.
At the press conference on the 26th, Trumpchi EMKOO officially announced its Chinese named Yingku.

As the first SUV model of Julang Hybrid GMC2.0 and a blockbuster strategic model of the "XEV+ICV" dual-core strategy, Yingku will provide hybrid + fuel 3 sets of total (1.5T/2.0T/HEV) and saturated coverage of customer needs in the A-class SUV market.
It can be said that the shadow cool is the most extensive in the middle of the blow, but it is the most "vulnerable" part of the fuel vehicle.
With the entry of models such as Yingku that take into account the personality and use of the whole scene, and are close to the same price of oil and electricity, hybrid technology will enter the important stage of the mainstream consumer market.
Based on the GPMA architecture, Yingku has the advantages of modeling, power, and technology configuration, and will become a new legend of the Trumpchi brand SUV sequence, a new engine of brand rejuvenation, and a new grip for incremental crowds.
Yingku's futuristic and technologically inspired styling is very eye-catching. The new car is based on the aesthetic design language of the science and technology industry, and a large number of line designs convey a full mecha style. The most intuitive is the front face V-shaped array design, coupled with the "Eye of Revelation" headlights, the front face is very recognizable.
The side lines of the body are relatively full, and the waist line of the upper lift makes the entire side full of muscle. The front low and rear high body posture also gives people a full sense of sport. The tail is equipped with an X-shaped quantum lightsaber taillight, which is quite cool when lit at night.
The new car is equipped with the ADiGO intelligent driving interconnection ecosystem, which further enhances the car experience under the blessing of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip.
In terms of power, it is equipped with Julang Hybrid, using 2.0ATK high-efficiency Atkinson engine + GMC 2.0 second-generation electromechanical coupling system, in addition, Yingku also provides Julang power 1.5TGDI engine, and Julang power 2.0TGDI engine.
Write at the end
GAC Trumpchi as the first domestic brand with a dual hybrid technology route, whether it is win-win cooperation THS technology, or independent research and development of GMC hybrid system, in the current hybrid market is very innovative and competitive, GMC system "high quality, low fuel consumption, strong power, quieter, super smooth" and other five advantages cover a wide range, can cover the use of all scenarios in upgraded consumption.
With the opening of the new blue ocean of the new energy industry, we are very much looking forward to the initial battle effect of GAC Trumpchi, a fierce catfish.
