In the past two years, the hybrid technology of independent brands has ushered in a full-scale outbreak.
In the front, there was a BIG SALE OF BYD DM-i, and then there was the Great Wall Lemon DHT, Geely Lei Shenzhi Qing, etc. catching up, coupled with Chery's Kunpeng Power, Chang'an's Blue Whale iDD and Dongfeng's Mach Power MHD, and various hybrid technologies sprung up like mushrooms.
With the high flexibility of oilable and electric, as well as the characteristics of low feed fuel consumption and no mileage anxiety, autonomous hybrid technology has the momentum of "unifying the rivers and lakes".
In such a big environment, the much-watched GAC Trumpchi also recently officially released its hybrid technology brand name - Julang Hybrid.
Unlike other hybrid technology brands, Trumpchi's Julang Hybrid has an advantage that no one can match, and that is its unique dual-hybrid technology route.
One is the Toyota THS power shunt system that has been officially listed on the second-generation GS8; the other is the forward self-developed GMC dual motor series parallel hybrid system.
Walking on two roads tends to be more stable.
This is not only Trumpchi's "double insurance" in the field of hybridization, but also its unique "killer weapon" that can provide more diversified hybrid options for different models.
The powerful nature of Toyota's THS system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Trumpchi on the basis of fully absorbing its advantages, more innovative introduction of self-developed 2.0T high-power engine, replacing Toyota's usual 2.5L self-priming, and creating a thermal efficiency of 40.23%, NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km, zero hundred acceleration of 6.9s excellent performance.
On the other hand, the self-developed GMC2.0 hybrid system is also not to be underestimated. The system is equipped with a GAC 2.0ATK high-efficiency Atkinson hybrid engine. Thermal efficiency up to 42.1%, with high efficiency combustion system, low friction design, waste recycling system, intelligent thermal management and noise reduction design.
It is worth noting that the GMC2.0 hybrid system, like the Great Wall Lemon DHT, uses a dual-motor multi-gear DHT. However, compared to lemon DHT, the GMC2.0 shift mechanism adopts the FORM of AT, so the shift action will be more supple.
On the other hand, compared with Honda's i-MMD and BYD DM-i single-gear series parallel systems, the GMC2.0 hybrid system can also have a wider range of efficient engine intervention ranges, so as to better utilize the advantages of the internal combustion engine and thus improve the overall energy efficiency.
In addition, compared with the 3-gear hybrid system that has been released so far, the 2-gear system is relatively simple in structure and has more innate advantages in reliability.
Coupled with the advantages of the system with 95.5% thermal efficiency utilization, full-speed domain and all-scenario intelligent energy management, refrigerant direct cooling technology, etc., in general, GMC2.0 hybrid system is a hybrid technology that takes into account both energy efficiency and cost.
From the perspective of Trumpchi's latest announcement of the first SUV of GMC2.0 - Trumpchi Shadow Cool, in the future, Trumpchi is likely to continue to use Toyota's THS hybrid on medium and large cars (such as the replacement GM8), and use the GMC2.0 system on the Shadow Leopard or other subsequent "Shadow Characters" models.
Judging from the development of this power line, the entire product and technical system of Trumpchi will become clearer in the future. In the long cycle of the transition from traditional fuel vehicles to pure electric, the "Julang Hybrid" with PHEV expansion will become the most important power technology pillar of Trumpchi based on the future.
Thanks to the support of the "Julang Hybrid" technology platform, Trumpchi, which has "double insurance", will have a more comprehensive and all-round technical advantage.
Kung Fu shoots
As one of the earliest independent brands to explore hybrid technology, GAC Trumpchi has more than 10 years of R&D technology experience, and GAC Group has pioneered the domestic hybrid technology export joint venture.
At a time when all kinds of new technologies are blooming, one more technical route is equal to one more possibility, which can create more imagination space for future brands. From this point of view, it is easy to understand that the industry has a high view of the prospect of "julang hybrid".
It is also worth noting that GMC2.0's first SUV Trumpchi Shadow Cool not only has a strong technical foundation, but also has bright spots in the design, highly restoring the pioneer design in the concept car, and has the same potential as the Shadow Leopard to become a "blockbuster".
Because of this, Trumpchi, which has set off a "big wave", has a promising future!
