Blue Whale iDD is about changan automobile's ambition and strength

Looking back at the embryonic period of China's new energy vehicles eight years ago, it was difficult for us to imagine and believe that the Chinese auto industry would do something on this track, but now it proves that the domestic new energy vehicle field has flourished and grown into a complete, mature and huge leading system, including some radical head car-making new forces players, not to mention the traditional car companies that can achieve "curve overtaking". Therefore, in the important parts of new energy vehicle manufacturing such as intelligent cockpits and power systems, we can see the leading figure of Chinese car companies such as Changan Automobile.

For traditional car companies, new energy vehicles are undoubtedly a completely new field, so how to achieve global leadership from the previous groping forward to the present? After understanding Changan Automobile's efforts on Blue Whale iDD and the technical strength of Blue Whale iDD, we can know the answer.

What is Blue Whale iDD?

In the context of national carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, Changan Automobile quickly responded in the face of the new situation of electric and intelligent transformation. Soon, the new power brand - Blue Whale Power brand came out, the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2030 vision were released, the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system and the new digital pure electric brand "Changan Deep Blue" came to us, this traditional fuel independent car company decided to transform into an intelligent low-carbon travel technology company, firm determination and absolute strength are available.

Back to the Blue Whale iDD itself, Blue Whale iDD represents the global intelligent oil-electric dual-drive system, which is a power solution to solve the problem between fuel and pure electricity, taking into account power and endurance, suitable for the "full speed domain, full field, full temperature domain, full time domain" of the global use scenario, and can be applied to all models of class A-C. In March this year, Blue Whale iDD landed on UNI-K iDD, officially opening TA's journey in the field of new energy.

About the Whale Flying Sky hardcore challenge

Blue Whale iDD by Changan Automobile Chongqing R & D Center and European R & D Center more than 500 engineers over a period of 6 years to develop, bringing together Changan Automobile's top technology, we explore its full speed domain strength, we may wish to take a look at the UNI-K iDD extreme challenge, but also the first stop of the Blue Whale iDD hardcore series of challenges - Whale Flying Sky.

The challenge consists of three parts, namely "Whale Heartbeat - Blue Whale iDD Challenge Free Landing", "Whale Hundred Battles - Blue Whale iDD Bumpy Road Stage Hollywood Special Effects", "Whale Out of the Sky - Blue Whale iDD Conquers the Extreme Slope", each of which is an unprecedented and rigorous test. In the first item, the UNI-K iDD needs to pass quickly to ensure that the body is not poured heavily while cutting through the water balloon above the vehicle; in the second item, the UNI-K iDD needs to complete the maze ball challenge on rough roads such as cobblestone roads, broken roads, bumpy roads, etc.; in the third item, the UNI-K iDD needs to impact the limit ramps with slope angles of 16.5° and 21.8°. This puts the vehicle's starting response speed, power output smoothness and low torque output performance in an all-round way.

The results are worthy of our joy, UNI-K iDD perfectly passed the three extreme challenges, in fact, compared with the results, I admire Changan Automobile's courage to face the harsh test, especially in the case that the challenge will be broadcast live throughout the whole process. This courage is the calm accumulated by 6 years of polishing and tempering, and the confidence guaranteed by the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system.

The global strength of blue whale iDD

The so-called "global domain" is the collective name of "full speed domain, full field domain, full temperature domain, full time domain", and the global strength of Blue Whale iDD means that users can achieve zero anxiety car experience in almost any scene and time, and in the current situation that the pain points of new energy vehicles need to be solved, this breakthrough of Changan Automobile is of great significance.

Specifically, the high-performance Blue Whale engine matches the high-efficiency Blue Whale electric drive transmission, so that the Blue Whale iDD can continue to ensure superior power performance and comfortable driving experience in the full speed domain state such as low-speed starting, high-speed overtaking, and extreme speed track, with an acceleration of up to 0.6g at low speed, a maximum acceleration time of 6s+ for 100 kilometers at high speed, and a maximum speed of 200km/h at extreme speed.

In full-field scenarios such as city commuting and long-distance travel, the main advantage of Blue Whale iDD is to balance fuel consumption and power. During daily commuting, the 130km NEDC pure electric endurance is enough to meet the travel needs, the 1100km comprehensive cruising range saves the driver from energy replenishment anxiety, and the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 0.8L/100km, and the performance of 5L/100km of power consumption is surprising. What is even more rare is that even in the state of power, the blue whale iDD can ensure that the power output is not discounted, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is not attenuated.

Regarding the full temperature and time domains, blue whale iDD eliminates geographical and temporal differences. It can cope with extreme ambient temperatures down to minus 35 °C to top 55 °C, which is very friendly to friends in the north, and the intelligent full-power OTA upgrade ensures the stability and durability of the vehicle throughout the life cycle.

The technical support behind the blue whale power system

Blue Whale iDD integrates high-performance Blue Whale engine, high-efficiency Blue Whale electric drive transmission, super capacity PHEV battery and intelligent control system, of which, the 1.5L turbo engine is dedicated to hybrid, which can bring the highest power of 125kW and the maximum torque of 260N·m, the electric drive transmission has a number of indicators for the first time in the industry, and Changan Automobile has completely independent intellectual property rights, 30.7kWh PHEV battery using AC and DC dual fast charging, supporting efficient charging and rapid power replenishment.

In the era of new energy vehicles bursting out, the world has no shortage of electric vehicles, the real lack, or forever missing, is only the technology in hand, Changan Automobile knows this. Through the above-mentioned parameter information, we can see that Blue Whale iDD spares no effort in catering to the needs of new energy users, the paranoia of the "science and technology Chang'an" science and engineering man on power and fuel consumption, and more aware of Changan Automobile's undisguised ambition to accelerate its entry into a world-class automobile brand.

Write at the end

According to the data released by the China Automobile Association, in March this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles still maintained rapid growth, of which the increase in traditional head enterprises such as Changan Automobile was particularly obvious. From the perspective of short-term plans, Changan Automobile plans to launch 8 new energy products this year, reach 1.05 million new energy sales by 2025, and build 2-3 overseas manufacturing bases, with Blue Whale iDD as the advantage and starting point, and a new situation belonging to Changan Automobile is opening.
