There is a voice in the industry that believes that plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is a transitional product from the fuel era to the pure electric era. From the current actual situation, the product advantages of PHEVs are becoming more and more obvious, and there is a trend of changing from "transition" to "mainstream".
According to new statistics from the Passenger Association of China, from January to October this year, BEV/PHEV passenger car sales were 3.859/1.072 million units, respectively, +92% and +178% year-on-year. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have ushered in explosive growth, although there is still a gap with pure electric models in terms of total volume, but the growth rate is significantly ahead of pure electric models, and the gap is showing a trend of further narrowing.
Previously, the Society of Automotive Engineers of China's "Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Technology Roadmap 2.0" pointed out that by 2035, the annual sales volume of energy-saving vehicles and new energy vehicles will each account for 50%, when the automotive industry will fully realize the transformation of electrification. It indicates that the domestic new energy vehicle industry will continue to maintain rapid growth in the next few years, of which hybrid models as the main energy-saving vehicles will grow significantly.
In the face of sudden market opportunities, some car companies in order to catch up with the schedule, the original fuel models to "oil to electricity" transformation, firstly, to save the research and development costs of the new platform, secondly, the speed of the new is indeed much faster, the result is a variety of congenital deficiencies, causing many complaints.
At the end of the day, hybrid is still native. The so-called "native" is positive development, which is different from the "oil-to-electricity" phenomenon that is common in the industry, and from the beginning of the design, the pain points of hybrid models are included in the unified framework thinking, adhere to positive development, lay a solid foundation for vehicle electrification and intelligence, and solve many problems such as weak performance, poor endurance, outdated appearance, and insufficient safety of oil-to-electric models from the source.
The Jietu Dasheng i-DM is a "native" masterpiece, which fully combines the characteristics of hybrid products and is being developed based on the Kunlun Intelligent Hybrid Platform of Jetu Motors. Why is this new car called the pioneer of China's native intelligent hybrid SUV? And what gives it plenty of confidence?
3DHT, the only technology selected for national new energy science and technology projects
In fact, as early as 2015, mainland China has become the world's largest electric vehicle production and sales country. However, for a long time in the past, hybrid technology has long been monopolized by the THS power split represented by Toyota and the i-MMD series-parallel type represented by Honda, especially in the high-end hybrid vehicle market, the joint venture brand controls the absolutely strong right to speak, and the independent brand was once in the embarrassing situation of being "stuck in the neck".
In February 2015, in order to better overcome the three major technical pain points of power electrification, structural lightweight, and vehicle intelligence, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China issued the "National Key R&D Plan for New Energy Vehicles Key Special Implementation Plan (Draft for Comments)", including Chery Group, FAW Group, AVIC Lithium Battery, Beijing Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, etc., and other large manufacturers and universities to work together to provide suggestions for the country.
In 2017, Chery Group successfully selected the Ministry of Science and Technology new cost-effective passenger car hybrid powertrain development and vehicle integration special project, aiming at the domestic plug-in hybrid system in the electromechanical coupling device, hybrid engine, hybrid transmission and other core components lag behind the international advanced level, its economy and smoothness can not fully meet the market demand, the project is committed to the development of a cost-effective electromechanical coupling gearbox, forming a mature and reliable passenger car hybrid powertrain.
After more than three years of ingenuity and iteration, Chery Group has refined from more than 1,000 configurations and launched a 3DHT hybrid special gearbox, becoming the only technology selected for the national key new energy technology project, breaking through the "stuck neck" technical difficulty in one fell swoop. It adopts 3 physical gears and the industry's only dual-motor drive structure design to achieve multi-engine and multi-gear, oil and electricity, covering all scenarios and all working conditions, successfully bypassing the patent barriers of foreign companies in hybrid technology, and opening up a new direction for the research of hybrid technology of Chinese brands.
Kunlun intelligent hybrid platform, to create a real plug-in hybrid SUV
Standing on the shoulders of giants, JITU Motors organically combines the advantages of the group's platform architecture with the concept of travel +, relies on 3DHT to actively expand 2DHT and 1DHT, plus 3 hybrid exclusive engines, and successfully creates a Kunlun intelligent hybrid platform born for hybrid, supporting the development of different models of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive to meet the diverse needs of users.
With the strong empowerment of Chery Group's independent engine research and development technology in the past 25 years, the exclusive engine of China Core Hybrid adopted by the Kunlun Intelligent Hybrid Platform is equipped with i-CAT intelligent control phase technology, and the low-speed adjustment rate is increased by 50%. In addition, the i-HEC 4.0 intelligent combustion system, independent intercooled EGR technology, deep Miller cycle and other "black technology" blessings, bringing ultra-high thermal efficiency and surging power.
As another core component of hybrid models, the Kunlun intelligent hybrid intelligent battery platform covers a voltage range of 300-800V, a battery density of 240-400Wh/kg, a cycle life of 3000-8000 times, and a fast charging time of 15-30 minutes. There are also intelligent technologies such as intelligent energy management, active wake-up, intelligent drive, and direct cooling of air conditioning, and strive to provide users with a safe, efficient and lasting good car experience. In addition, as the first product under the Kunlun Intelligent Hybrid platform, Jietu Dasheng i-DM also provides a lifetime warranty service for the whole vehicle (including three electric powers), which relieves users of all worries and reflects the full technical confidence of Jietu Auto.
What are the advantages of forward development? Hybrid is still native
Thanks to the native development, the Jietu Dasheng i-DM has been designed for hybrid from the beginning of its birth, with a series of systematic and structural innate advantages. Let's step by step disassemble from the perspective of vehicle development to see where the original intelligent hybrid is strong.
· The architecture is advanced and has superior computing power, which is more suitable for new energy
If the car is compared to the human body, the mechanical structure of the car is equivalent to the human bone, and the electronic and electrical architecture is equivalent to the human nervous system and brain, which is the key to the information interaction and complex operation of the car, which shows its importance.
Traditional fuel vehicles generally use distributed electronic architecture, which often has disadvantages such as poor information interoperability and waste of computing power. Jietu Dasheng i-DM adopts the design scheme of "boundless electronic architecture", applies advanced designs such as integrated gateway, new energy exclusive P-CAN, and experiential electronic architecture, and has the characteristics of strong computing power, multi-channel, fast response, and security, which can better adapt to the advanced electronic equipment of new energy vehicles, laying a solid foundation for the comfortable intelligent experience of the whole vehicle.
· The chassis is specially built for hybridization, which is stable and safer
The handling performance of a car is often decided by the chassis. As we all know, the traditional mechanical chassis is composed of four parts: transmission train, driving system, steering system and brake system, and uses mechanical signals for transmission. The i-DM adopts an integrated WCBS by-wire chassis, which is more sensitive to full electronic control, and replaces mechanical signal transmission with electrical signal conduction, which has the advantages of high precision, high safety and high response speed, which is not only the key technology of Jietu Dasheng i-DM equipped with L2 intelligent assisted driving, but also paves the way for the subsequent realization of higher-end ADAS.
In addition, the chassis of the Jietu Dasheng i-DM is specially built for hybrid models, fully considering the layout of the three-electric system, and the battery and fuel tank are arranged in the middle of the body, with a low center of gravity and stable driving control.
On the other hand, oil-to-electric models are often forcibly plugged on the basis of the chassis of fuel vehicles, which has strong limitations and will bring many negative effects. For example, early oil-to-electric models installed the battery under the vehicle or in the trunk position, which undoubtedly brought a higher risk to scratching and rear-end collisions, and some models placed high-voltage wires under the rear seats, and their electromagnetic radiation will undoubtedly cause greater harm to human health. In addition, the problems of cramped space, limited battery life, and poor handling caused by congenital structural defects of oil-to-electric models are also the focus of users' complaints, which is far less intimate than the original creation of the Jietu Dasheng i-DM.
· New energy modeling design, full of futuristic technology
The innate advantages of native development have injected new energy genes into the styling design of Jietu Dasheng i-DM from the beginning. The borderless grille and split headlight group are full of dynamics, coupled with intelligent invisible induction handles, which makes the sense of technology of the whole car go to a higher level, and it is completely insulated to pure electric models. Comparable to Tesla's minimalist technology interior is very simple, the 15.6-inch floating intelligent sense screen carries almost all the functions in the car, and is also equipped with integrated flying seats, intelligent voice interaction AI lights, Mercedes-Benz the same luxury electronic pocket file, colorful rhythm ambient lights, 40W mobile phone wireless fast charging and other configurations, the sense of new energy is coming, and the leapfrog experience is within reach.
Not only that, but the i-DM also comes with a small table, camping pot slot, umbrella slot, hooks and plenty of storage compartments, so it's not an empty phrase to be born for travel. In contrast, some "oil-to-electric" models did not consider the needs of electric vehicles at the beginning of the design, and forced power-on could only occupy space in the rear, trunk and chassis, resulting in a significant reduction in ride comfort and a significant reduction in storage space. It is not difficult to find that it is the "original intellectual mix" that gives more possibilities for travel, and truly fundamentally solves the "poetry and distance" in the journey.
epilogue
All of the above fully proves the superiority of the original intelligent mix, Jietu Dasheng i-DM launched a total of "Lightning 01" and "Lightning 02" two models, the official guidance price of 14.99-169,900 yuan, with a very competitive price to show beyond the same level of product strength and carefully built ingenuity quality, is to drive the Jettu Motors to accelerate into a new era, to the globalization of the pioneer, this native intelligent hybrid SUV from China, is bound to become a strong voice throughout the world.
JIT Auto will continue to make efforts to embrace the original intelligent hybrid, adhere to positive development, continuously raise the ceiling of hybrid, break through the new boundaries of travel, and bring users an extraordinary travel experience with more humanized intelligent technology.
