On August 30, GAC Trumpchi's "Julang Hybrid" Roundtable Salon was held at GAC Research Institute. At this salon, industry experts, industry scholars and senior media walked into GAC Research Institute to discuss the development trend of the industry, explore the key core technologies of GAC Trumpchi Julang hybrid, and discuss the road to the advancement of hybrid of Chinese automobile brands.
The hybrid market has great potential, leading a new pattern of zero-carbon development
At present, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become the consensus of the global automotive industry. The continental energy structure determines the diversification trend of on-board energy and vehicle power in the future, and hybrid will be the main technical route to achieve carbon neutrality in the future, and the future development space is huge.
Yao Meifa, chair professor of Tianjin University and fellow of the International Society of Automotive Engineers, said that hybrid is an effective and costly way to reduce carbon emissions, which itself combines the advantages of electric vehicles, with the driving performance of electric vehicles, as well as the convenience of fuel vehicles, while hybrid greatly reduces the use of batteries, the environmental impact is predictable, and is one of the paths to achieve zero carbon emissions in the future.
Xu Xiangyang, professor of the School of Transportation Science and Engineering of Beihang University, fellow and executive director of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, said that improving engine thermal efficiency is an effective technical path to improve the fuel economy of hybrid systems, and GAC has made a very good technical route choice.
Guan Xin, dean of the Automotive Research Institute of Jilin University and vice president of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, said that the problem of fuel vehicles should not be one-size-fits-all, and the fuel vehicles that have developed in the history of a century of automobiles have formed a combination of people and vehicles, and it is a possible path to use hybrid technology to enter the world's advanced ranks.
Chen Yong, Fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China and vice chairman of the Tianjin Society of Automotive Engineers, said that the technical depth, breadth and difficulty embodied in hybrid power surpass pure electric. HEV and PHEV can meet the requirements of national regulations, and it is very necessary to develop hybrid from the international environment and energy situation.
Wu Jian, President of GAC Research Institute, said: "GAC's hybrid road has been steady and steady, and it has been determined to become China's leading hybrid with confidence and strength.
Qi Hongzhong, Deputy Director of the Powertrain Technology R&D Center of GAC Research Institute, said: GAC Trumpchi has in-depth accumulation and strong strength in the field of hybrid vehicles. Julang Hybrid modular architecture is one of GAC's ultimate solutions to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, with changeable combination, leading technology product features, can quickly layout related products, quickly meet the market demand of consumers, we hope to build Julang Hybrid into China's leading hybrid system.
Liu Jianguo, Director of Hybrid and Vehicle Technology Department of GAC Passenger Vehicle Co., Ltd., said: In the first half of this year, the growth of PHEVs and HEV growth are very strong, starting last year, GAC Trumpchi put forward goals in terms of electrification transformation, in 2025 we are a full range of hybrid, we did some research, found that hybrid can better meet the needs of users in multiple scenarios, this is a kind of original intention of our R&D team, in this process, we will add intelligent high-tech experience, in addition to hybrid, electrification, We develop intelligent functions as well.
As an enterprise actively promoting the strategy of "hybridization + intelligence", GAC Trumpchi adheres to the GAC Group's "Green Net Plan" and has become the only brand with a dual hybrid technology route through independent research and development and open cooperation with GMC dual-motor series-parallel hybrid system and THS power split hybrid system.
Among them, the thermal efficiency of GAC's self-developed hybrid engine 2.0ATK laboratory reached 44.14%, once again breaking the thermal efficiency certification record of Chinese brand engines.
The higher efficiency engine, stronger GMC2.0 electromechanical coupling and high-quality battery have created the core advantages of GAC Trumpchi Julang Hybrid, and provided users with a driving experience of "high quality, low fuel consumption, strong power, quieter and ultra-smooth".
The hybrid ace model has extraordinary strength and is facing the era of change
Since the end of 2021, GAC Trumpchi has successively launched the new second-generation GS8 dual engine, Yingku hybrid version, Yingleo hybrid version, and the new generation M8 luxury MPV hybrid version, forming a "hybrid four trump card" family and ushering in the era of change in the new energy automobile industry.
As a member of the film series, the future technology pioneer SUV Yingku is a blockbuster product of GAC Trumpchi's transformation into a new energy technology company, with outstanding performance in energy saving, power and comfort. Previously, in the difficult challenge of a tank of fuel, the Yingku hybrid version showed its super strength with a long endurance of 1711km and an ultra-low fuel exhaustion of 3.2L/100km.
The urban light running shadow leopard hybrid version for young people adopts the combination of GAC 2.0ATK high-efficiency Atkinson engine + Julang hybrid GMC2.0 electromechanical coupling. In the difficult test, the long fuel range of one tank of the Shadow Leopard hybrid version reached 1537 kilometers, and the fuel consumption could be as low as 3.0L per 100 kilometers.
At the scene, experts and media who participated in the test drive said that during the continuous switching of power such as continuous in-corner deceleration and ex-corner acceleration in the test drive experience, the Yingku and Yingleopard equipped with Julang Hybrid GMC2.0 have a tram-like driving experience, and at the same time there is no tram mileage anxiety, showing a high-quality smooth driving texture and extremely low fuel consumption performance.
