Power "pulls full" full speed domain, Blue Whale iDD strength to cope with "extreme challenge"

With the chinese automotive industry fully opening up a new situation of intelligent electrification transformation, hybrid products have also mushroomed. However, the improvement of the overall efficiency of the system, the efficiency of energy management, the compatibility and stability of the low temperature of the battery and other issues are still the problems that the entire industry needs to overcome.

In June last year, on the occasion of the second anniversary of the launch of the Blue Whale Power brand, Changan Automobile officially released the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, which not only fulfilled the new energy strategy "Shangri-La Plan", but also opened the process of Blue Whale Power's full embrace of electrification. Subsequently, the first model equipped with the system, the UNI-K iDD, entered the market at a starting price of 176,900 yuan, which attracted widespread attention from the market.

Face tough tests with confidence

As changan automobile user-centric, to create the best power solution between fuel and pure electricity, blue whale iDD hybrid system is also positioned as a global hybrid solution, in order to verify the comprehensive strength of the system, in May 6, the "whale flying sky" blue whale iDD hardcore series of challenges in the first stop, UNI-K iDD passed three "extreme challenges", confirming the outstanding product strength of blue whale iDD.

First of all, in the first challenge, the UNI-K iDD starts from a stationary state full of oil in front of the upside-down water balloon, and the sharp object on the roof will scratch the water balloon at the moment the vehicle passes, such as the water in the balloon is not poured on the body in large quantities, which is a successful challenge.

Faced with such a challenge, the UNI-K iDD uses pure electric starting, with 85kW of motor peak power and 330N·m peak torque, the initial acceleration is very rapid, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 8.1s, and the maximum speed can easily exceed 200km/h, which easily completes this challenge.

The "Hollywood" special effect staged on the bumpy road is the second item, the specific rules are for the vehicle to pass through the rough roads such as cobblestone roads, broken roads, bumpy roads, etc., and the challengers complete the maze ball challenge in the car. This challenge tests the smoothness of the continuous power output of the Blue Whale iDD and the stability of the body.

In the process of challenge, the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system equipped with UNI-K iDD has excellent NVH performance, with the help of the high-efficiency Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission, the output of the two power sources that are already powerful and energetic is more smooth, and with the combination of independent suspension of the front McPherson + rear multi-link, the vibration filtering ability is extremely strong, and the tire trackability is good.

Conquering the limit slope is the third challenge, the rule is to drive the vehicle to impact the 30% and 40% limit ramps of the Chang'an Automobile Pad River Proving Ground, the slope corresponding to the slope angle reaches 16.5° and 21.8° respectively, the slope is accompanied by the increase of height and slope, and the difficulty of the challenge rises exponentially, which tests the low torsional output performance of the blue whale iDD.

The UNI-K iDD is equipped with the Blue Whale NE1.5T hybrid engine and the Blue Whale triple-clutch electric drive transmission, with a maximum transmission efficiency of 97% and a system comprehensive torque of up to 590N·m. During the vehicle climbing process, the two power sources of the motor and engine of the Blue Whale iDD and the multi-gear transmission work together to achieve hybrid operation in full gear and ensure strong and continuous low torque output. Therefore, in this challenge, UNI-K iDD naturally passed easily.

Say goodbye to travel anxiety once and for all

At present, problems such as "difficult charging", "high fuel consumption", "low temperature feeding" and so on are common pain points for users in the use of new energy models, and they are also practical problems that need to be solved by the Changan Blue Whale iDD hybrid system. It is understood that the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system has adopted the P2 technical route, which is a global intelligent oil-electric dual-drive system built by Changan Automobile from more than 500 engineers from 10 countries and lasted 6 years, which realizes the organic integration between high-performance Blue Whale engine, high-efficiency Blue Whale electric drive transmission, super capacity PHEV battery and intelligent control system, and can be platformized for all models of A-class-C class.

The whole domain covered by the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system includes four major application scenarios of "full speed domain, full field domain, full temperature domain, and full time domain". Among them, the full speed domain refers to the low-speed starting, high-speed overtaking, extreme speed track and other states, the system can ensure an instantaneous power explosion and a comfortable driving experience. Millisecond motor peak torque response. The whole field is in the city commuting and long-distance travel, the two-ton SUV model can be as low as 5L/100km, pure electric endurance 130km, comprehensive endurance 1100km, and support 220V home charging, AC and DC dual fast charging three charging methods, to meet the user's diversified charging scenarios.

In addition, under the full temperature range of -35 °C to 55 °C, the blue whale iDD hybrid can achieve safe and stable driving performance. Moreover, with the blessing of intelligent all-powered OTA upgrade, it brings intelligent protection of all time domains. As the first model equipped with the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, UNI-K iDD has the actual performance of 1.4L/100km in the full power state and 5L/100km in the feed state < in the previous test drive, which fundamentally solves the "pain point" of the car with travel anxiety.

At the "2021 Changan Automobile Science and Technology Ecology Conference" held last year, Changan Automobile officially released the development strategy of "New Automobile, New Ecology". It also proposed that by 2025, its total sales will reach 4 million vehicles, of which 3 million are Changan brand vehicles and 1.05 million new energy vehicles, accounting for 35% of the future target.

Moreover, the seven strategic actions released at the recent 2022 Changan Automobile Global Partner Conference, as well as the release of the digital pure point brand Changan Deep Blue, all indicate that Changan Automobile will fully lay out the electric electrification market and continue to exert its determination to transform its enterprises. According to the plan, the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system after the UNI-K iDD will be installed on a number of new models including UNI-V and Auchan Z6 to further improve product coverage.

At this stage, China's automotive industry has developed from a single power model to a five-power coexistence model of ICE, HEV, PHEV, REEV and EV, accelerating the popularization of products, continuous brand renewal, and continuous improvement of the market penetration rate of new energy passenger car vehicles. As one of the earliest enterprises to enter the field of new energy vehicles, Changan Automobile believes that after the launch of more new products in the future, Changan Automobile will also create new growth points in the hybrid market segment.
