New energy vehicles can also cross the desert? This was probably unimaginable to no one before, but now it has become a reality!
In the vast desert, a new energy vehicle cut through the sky like a bolt of lightning and successfully crossed the N39 route of the Taklamakan Desert, known as the "Sea of Death", setting a new world record. This heroic and fearless off-road vehicle is BYD's super hybrid hard SUV - Formula Leopard Leopard 5.
This crossing operation not only demonstrates the extreme off-road ability of new energy vehicles, but also shows the strong strength of Made in China to the world.
The Taklamakan Desert, as the world's second largest mobile desert, has always been a sacred place in the hearts of off-road enthusiasts and a touchstone for off-road vehicle performance due to its complex and changeable terrain and extremely harsh climatic conditions. The N39 route is a legendary road in this desert, because of its high degree of difficulty, it is named the "Tower 1 Line", known as the "Sea of Death", where countless off-road heroes have fallen into the sand. However, the Equation Leopard Leopard 5 managed to conquer this desert with amazing perseverance and excellent performance, which is truly amazing.
The successful crossing of the Leopard 5 is not a fluke, everything depends on its own excellent performance. Its frame is made of high-strength steel, accounting for up to 96%, combined with the new hybrid non-load-bearing architecture and CTC battery chassis integrated design, so that the torsional rigidity of the frame is increased by 38%, greatly improving the safety, reliability and durability of the vehicle. When facing steep sandy slopes and difficult terrain in the desert, the Leopard 5 is able to cope with it with ease, showing strong off-road ability.
The Leopard 5's powertrain is equally impressive. It is equipped with the DMO super hybrid off-road platform, which can reach a maximum power of 505kW, with a maximum approach angle of 39° and a departure angle of 35°, which can maintain excellent power output even in extreme environments. In addition, the Leopard 5 is also equipped with a heat pump energy management system and an off-road special electric drive oil cooling system to ensure the stable output of the power system in a high temperature environment, providing a strong power guarantee for crossing the desert.
In addition to strong power performance and off-road ability, the Leopard 5 also focuses on the user's driving experience. It adopts an advanced intelligent four-wheel drive system and intelligent three-lock technology, which can accurately distribute the torque of the four wheels and easily cope with various complex road conditions. At the same time, the Leopard 5 is also equipped with a wealth of intelligent driving assistance systems, providing drivers with a full range of safety guarantees.
In addition, the Leopard 5's fuel consumption is only 7.8L per 100 kilometers, which is comparable to that of an urban SUV and 35% lower than that of a mechanical off-road vehicle. In the recently concluded urban feed fuel consumption challenge, the best result of the Formula Leopard Leopard 5 was 5.35L/100km, which ran lower than the official fuel consumption, and also witnessed the unique ability of the Leopard 5 urban feed driving to "save more congestion".
In this crossing challenge, Formula Leopard Automobile joined hands with Dong Changkai, the "King of the Tower Desert", to jointly complete this feat. With his rich off-road experience and superb driving skills, Dong Changkai drove the Leopard 5 to gallop in the desert, and after 5 days, 14 hours, 54 minutes and 34 seconds, he finally successfully crossed the N39 line. His success is not only a personal glory, but also the best proof of the performance of the Leopard 5.
The successful crossing of the Leopard 5 is not only significant in setting a new world record, but also highlights the feat of the century in the field of extreme off-road of new energy vehicles. It breaks the dependence of traditional off-road vehicles on oil products, and uses new energy as the power to achieve zero-emission, low-noise and environmentally friendly travel mode. At the same time, the outstanding performance of the Leopard 5 has also won an international reputation for Made in China, demonstrating the leading position of China's automotive industry in the field of new energy and intelligence.
It is worth mentioning that in order to celebrate this historic moment, Formula Leopard has specially launched the "Tamomi" interior color scheme. Inspired by the desert, this color scheme perfectly blends the magnificence of nature with the sense of technology of the car, which is not only a tribute to the successful crossing of the Leopard 5 N39 in Tamo, but also a kind of inheritance and development of off-road culture.
In 2004, mankind crossed the Taklamakan Desert for the first time, which lasted 73 days, in 2007, for the first time, mankind drove through the Taklamakan N39 route, which lasted 27 days, and in 2020, the world record of a single bicycle crossing the Taklamakan N39, which lasted 11 days, and just now, the Leopard 5 successfully crossed the N39 line of the Taklamakan Desert again, and the time was fixed in 5 days, 14 hours, 54 minutes and 34 seconds!
The world record of the Leopard Leopard 5 crossing the Tamo N39 gives us reason to believe that in the coming days, new energy vehicles will bring us more surprises and breakthroughs, and bring more choices and possibilities to our travel mode.
