Less than two months after Beijing Water Cube released its new energy strategy in April, Chery's Kunpeng ultra-performance hybrid C-DM engine and transmission rolled off the production line in Wuhu on June 2.
20+ hybrid products are waiting in Chery's product lineage, and hybrid Chery is about to arrive in full force.
After a wave of new energy vehicles hit the Chinese car market and caused great changes, it is a consensus that the market operation, concept and user consumption habits of new energy vehicles are completely different from traditional fuel vehicles. Although pure electric and hybrid have become the focus of competition for almost all car companies, hybrid has become a place where they must compete, especially the old car companies that have transitioned from traditional car manufacturing to new energy vehicles.
Chery's third-generation hybrid technology launched two gold CP combinations
Among the Chery power technology team composed of four major power technologies, fuel power, hybrid power, pure electric power and hydrogen power, Kunpeng's super performance electric hybrid C-DM is obviously Chery's top priority, which is suitable for the current car market competition and its practicality, user recognition of quite high hybrid technology and products.
You know, in the first quarter of this year, China's hybrid vehicle sales were 433,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 74.1%, like a hybrid "golden age". In addition to those newly created pure electric car brands, almost all of the old mainstream car companies have joined the competition for hybrid, and the root of BYD's unique position is that its hybrid DM-i products are almost half of pure electric products.
Compared with BYD, Great Wall and other Chinese car companies that have penetrated into the hybrid market, Chery's Kunpeng super performance electric hybrid C-DM is not a pilot or a former master, but Chery Jiji's C-DM is Chery's 15 major technical tracks, after 18 years of hybrid technology accumulation, three generations of technology iteration, regardless of endurance, thermal efficiency, 100 kilometers acceleration and other indicators, it can be said that it is very bright.
The fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency hybrid engine
Let's take a look at the characteristics of Chery Kunpeng Super Performance Hybrid C-DM.
Chery summarized the performance characteristics as: "thermal efficiency > 44.5%, comprehensive range of 1400+ km, acceleration of 4.26s per 100km", the combination of the two golden CPs should achieve "global high performance, continuous high energy saving".
In a simple summary, there are actually rich performance characteristics worth investigating. We know that the electric hybrid is a system that includes a dedicated engine, transmission and battery management system to match it. This time, Chery Kunpeng electric hybrid C-DM system has rolled off the production line of the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency hybrid special engine, the industry's first three-speed super electric hybrid DHT, and stepless super hybrid DHT, and these three components constitute Chery Hybrid two gold CP combinations.
New iteration of three-speed super electric hybrid DHT
First, the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency engine is paired with a 3-speed super electric hybrid DHT combination mode, Chery believes that this combination is "breaking through the ceiling of the industry and a major innovation in the field of hybridization".
We know that the fundamental of hybrid is whether the high-efficiency special engine is compatible with other systems is efficient and energy-saving. The fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI has a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm. Three-speed super electric hybrid DHT has achieved a breakthrough in technology and power, and its maximum transmission efficiency > 97.6%, the output torque at the wheel end is > 4000N·m, and the average electric drive speed is >90%.
Gu Chunshan, assistant to the general manager of Chery and executive director of Chery Power System Technology Center
Gu Chunshan, assistant general manager of Chery and executive director of Chery Power System Technology Center, said when interpreting the third-generation hybrid technology that Kunpeng's ultra-performance electric hybrid C-DM integrates Chery's leading strength in multiple technical fields and is an all-round innovation breakthrough. With absolute superior performance such as "thermal efficiency > 44.5%, comprehensive range of 1400+ km, fuel consumption of 4.2L per 100km, and acceleration of 4.26s per 100km", it only takes 3.6s to accelerate from 90km/h to 120km/h.
It has to be said that the thermal efficiency > 44.5%, looking at the entire industry, it is indeed commendable.
The other combination is composed of the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency hybrid engine and the newly developed stepless super electric hybrid DHT, which also makes a breakthrough in traditional hybrid technology.
Newly developed stepless super electric hybrid DHT
The combination of the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI and the stepless super electric hybrid DHT is characterized by more "electricity" than "oil", making the travel experience more efficient, energy-saving and quiet. Because the Infinity Super Electric Hybrid DHT has E-CVT non-inductive transmission, it is smooth and quiet, comparable to pure electric models. The high efficiency of this combination drive motor/generator is a great feature.
For example, Chery D-DM's China Infinity Super Combination has a maximum speed of 16,000 rpm for its drive motor/generator, a maximum motor efficiency of 98% (the industry average is 97%), and a comprehensive range of 1400+km, which is more efficient.
Powerful and energy-saving is the reason why electric hybrid is popular among consumers. Chery Kunpeng Ultra Performance Electric Hybrid C-DM special engine has six core technologies: deep Miller cycle, fourth-generation i-HEC intelligent combustion system, HTC high-efficiency boosting system, i-LS intelligent lubrication system, i-HTM intelligent thermal management system, and HiDS high-dilution system. Kunpeng's ultra-performance hybrid C-DM can also achieve super flash charging, which can be recharged up to 80% in just 18 minutes.
Next, we can see Chery's many electric hybrid technology C-DM put into the market, and at the Chery New Energy Strategy Conference in April, the Kunpeng super performance hybrid C-DM car Xingtu Yaoguang, Chery Tiggo 9, TJ-1 and Jetway Traveler were unveiled.
At the off-line ceremony in Wuhu, Chery confirmed that in the fourth quarter of this year, Arrizo 8C-DM will be launched as the first model of Chery brand to ride the Kunpeng ultra-performance electric hybrid C-DM. It is expected that by 2025, the Chery brand will bring more than 10 C-DM models; The Xingtu brand will have 4 hybrid models; By 2024, there will be 6 C-DM models, and the X70 series and X90 series products will also be iterated synchronously hybrid products; Chery Group has determined that the four major brands have at least 20+ C-DM products.
In fact, in one or two years, Chery Group will fill up the electric mix, wrestle the hybrid market, and fully transform the new energy.
It can be said that the independent brother returned back then, and the limelight was even greater. From SAIC Chery to Wuhu Chery, they started from the jungle from the landing of qualifications, starting from a hyena and becoming a black panther. Now, however, they are heading towards a male lion.
