The strongest configuration, using the world's first fusion hybrid configuration. The Mach hybrid PHREV adopts the industry's first fusion configuration, with multi-gear series and parallel power shunts, with 7 energy management modes and 26 subdivision working modes, with a system efficiency of 93% and a high-efficiency area utilization rate of 95%, which is the first in the industry, providing users with an efficient and smooth driving experience.
The strongest "heart", the industry's highest thermal efficiency of 45.18% hybrid engine. Its comprehensive power is 265KW and torque is 615N•m, providing customers with industry-leading surging power and extreme fuel consumption. At present, the thermal efficiency of Dongfeng reserve technology has exceeded 47%, and it is expected to exceed 48% in 2026. In addition, the pre-research of new technologies with thermal efficiency exceeding 50% has also begun.
The strongest "brain", the industry's leading i-Control intelligent electronic control system. The Mach PHREV has an industry-leading AI predictive energy management system, which automatically matches the optimal driving mode for the user based on real-time road conditions and driving habits.
The strongest "armor", the safest and most durable battery in the industry. The Mach battery adopts military-grade structural protection, and has been strengthened by four layers of active safety, structural safety and intrinsic safety of the battery, as well as an extreme safety test that exceeds the national standard N times. At the same time, it is the first in the industry to adopt AI self-healing algorithm, and the battery cycle life has reached more than 2,000 times, which is 33% higher than the industry average.
The Dongfeng Fengshen L7, the first model of the Mach electric hybrid PHREV, was released
As the first model of Dongfeng Mach electric hybrid PHREV technology, it perfectly undertakes the core technical value brought by Mach electric hybrid PHREV, and embodies amazing performance, and the release of Dongfeng Fengshen L7 undoubtedly pushes users' expectations to a new climax.
