On April 11, it was reported that the guide price of Geely's fourth-generation Emgrand alcohol-electric hybrid sedan was lowered by 20,000 yuan, and the new guide price was 109,800 yuan;
Compared with the Geely Emgrand petrol version, the fourth-generation Emgrand alcohol-electric hybrid sedan is equipped with a 1.8-liter alcohol-electric hybrid engine and a hybrid electric drive system.
The dedicated 1.8-litre engine has a thermal efficiency of 41.5%, a maximum power of 97 kW and a peak torque of 175 Nm.
The alcohol consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as about 9.2L, which is equivalent to about 3 liters of fuel fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and the cost per kilometer is less than 0.3 yuan according to the filling price of methanol, which is quite cost-effective compared with fuel vehicles.
Geely Li Shufu once said that the cost of using alcohol-electric hybrid cars is comparable to that of electric vehicles, and there are no problems such as the winter range of electric vehicles and the safety of power batteries.
It is reported that Geely Automobile has been working in the field of methanol fuel vehicles for 18 years, developed nearly 20 models, and invested nearly 90% of the total number of methanol vehicles in the pilot project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
However, it should be noted that the current domestic methanol filling station infrastructure construction is still weak, which is one of the main reasons why methanol vehicles have not been promoted on a large scale.
