In the past two years, major domestic car manufacturers have released their own hybrid technologies, hoping to seize a share of the hybrid car market. However, to become the number one player in this track, not only needs a strong forward research and development ability, but also needs to have a good technical foundation and technical iteration ability, and more importantly, needs to have a core product with strength. So what is Trumpchi's rationale for building a Chinese hybrid N0.1?
Hybrid technology has a place
China will sell 668,700 hybrid cars in 2021, up 34 percent year on year. That's not quite as impressive as pure electric vehicles, but given their hefty subsidies and the advantage of having license plates and right-of-way in cities where cars are restricted, hybrids have continued to grow at a much higher rate than passenger cars in China as a whole.
For now, the energy density of lithium batteries is still much lower than that of fossil fuels. For automakers, matching the range of gas-powered cars means deploying a lot of batteries, which directly drives up the cost of electric cars. At the same time, energy supplement is a pain point of EV range anxiety. The coverage density of charging stations and charging time will significantly affect the use experience of EV owners. At present, the application of electric vehicles, more will lock short-distance commuting, whether it is inter-provincial traffic, or self-driving travel, electric vehicles can not become the first choice to replace fuel vehicles. The problems of battery safety and low residual value of used cars cannot be completely eliminated in a short time.
Under the national strategy of energy conservation and emission reduction, as the only way to transition from fuel vehicles to new energy, hybrid models will be the winner in the next 5 to 15 years. By 2035, half of all cars will be hybrids, which is a huge market.Dual-technology route to build the strongest hybrid technology platform in China
< P >< P > Julang Hybrid is a hybrid technology brand launched by GaC Trumpchi under the background of "double carbon" with profound insight into the needs of market users. Jurang Hybrid includes two hybrid technology routes: one route is the forward self-developed GMC double-motor series-parallel hybrid system, and the other route is the THS power-split hybrid system cooperating with Toyota, which achieves the perfect combination of turbocharged engine and THS system.
From the perspective of Guangzhou Automobile, GaC Group has entrusted the responsibility of pure electric in its own brand to GAC Aean, and the trend of promoting Aean's independent IPO in the future has been very obvious. Meanwhile, GAC Trumpchi has taken on the important task of attacking the city in the field of traditional fuel cars. In the context of increasingly stringent emission regulations and continuous consolidation of domestic oil prices, Trumpchi's Jumbo hybrid can bring consumers both fuel vehicle driving experience and better fuel economy experience, and promote the realization of the enterprise's goal of carbon neutrality. In 2022, Trumpchi will launch hybrid models such as Shadow Leopard, Shadow Cool and M8. In the future, Trumpchi will continue to launch a number of competitive hybrid models to achieve more market segments. With cutting-edge technology and a complete hybrid model matrix, Trumpchi will be the NO.1 hybrid power player in China and the leader in hybrid power in China.
Why can impact China's hybrid NO.1?
The reason why Jilang mixing is strong is firstly the strong enabling technology of GAC Trumpchi. It can be said that GAC 2.0ATK engine + GAC GMC mixing system builds the strongest mixing system in its level. It has also laid a good technical foundation for the hybrid technology of GaC.
As early as 2009, Trumpchi started the research and development of hybrid technology. In order to break the limitation of Toyota's patent at that time, Trumpchi pioneered the development and mass production of double-motor series-parallel DHT. Through the continuous iterative research and development of intermediate products, in 2022, the new generation mixing system of GaC Trumpchi, which adopts the second generation DHT(GMC2.0) and matches the fourth generation 2.0ATK engine, is unveiled, which becomes a milestone event in the company's mixing process.In this hybrid system, the 2.0ATK high efficiency Atkinson engine, developed by GAC, is a special hybrid engine. The thermal efficiency under the actual use condition of users is 42.1%, surpassing the level; The GMC hybrid system, also developed by GAC, is the world's first integrated dual-motor multi-gear DHT. The thermal efficiency utilization rate of WLTC under the working condition exceeds 95.5%, which is very outstanding in terms of fuel economy. This is the main reason why this system is called the strongest hybrid system in its class. Such high thermal efficiency means that the engine works in the optimal zone under different operating conditions, while efficiently coupling the power of the engine and motor to the wheels, keeping the system running efficiently at all times. Compared with the current mainstream hybrid system on the market, GMC hybrid has one more gear, improve the torque output at the same time, can make the engine after driving in a more efficient working range, so that the vehicle energy consumption is lower, more powerful; Compared with the two gears on the market, the AT mode is more flexible. The existence of the motor optimizes the working point of the engine. The more gears the better, the more gears, the cost of weight and size will increase, but the performance will not increase linearly with the increase of gears, so the demand balance performance improvement and weight and size cost increase. At present, the two-gear scheme adopted by GMC is considered to be the most cost-effective after detailed analysis. As for batteries, Trumpchi adopts BMW's luxury hybrid model which also uses refrigerant direct cooling technology. Compared with liquid cooling technology, direct refrigerant cooling eliminates the intermediate heat exchanger, which has higher cooling efficiency and lower vehicle cost.
In addition to its own continuous research and development of DHT technology, GAC has also introduced Toyota's THS hybrid system -- a new fourth-generation enhanced THS II Toyoda hybrid system, which is installed on the new second-generation GS8 two-engine series. The new second-generation GS8 dual-engine series has also become the first Chinese brand model equipped with Toyota THS hybrid technology in China.As the world's earliest OEM of hybrid research and development, Toyota has very rich experience in the design and manufacturing of hybrid technology. As the latest generation of THS family products, the new fourth generation enhanced THS II Toyoda hybrid system is one of the strongest members of the family. Development of engines has always been the strength of Trumpchi. THS hybrid system is matched with the 2.0TM Miller cycle turbocharged engine independently developed by Trumpchi. This hybrid system for the new second generation GS8 two-engine series is also the first case of Toyota's THS hybrid system with a 2.0T engine. Compared to the natural aspirated engines of the past, the 2.0T engine is a significant improvement in both power and fuel economy. With the help of strong product power, GS8 dual-engine series orders continued to rise, and in the first quarter of 2022, GS8 ranked the champion of 200,000 hybrid SUV sales in China. This achievement also fully proves that the combination of turbocharged engine +THS hybrid is fully recognized in the market.
< /p>It can be said that, relying on the dual-hybrid technology route: back to the forward self-developed GMC dual-motor series and parallel hybrid system and THS power split hybrid system jointly created with Toyota, GAC Trumpchi Julang hybrid fully possesses the strength and confidence to build China's NO.1 hybrid.
