That's the name of Trumpchi's new hybrid technology brand, which was unveiled that night, along with the first SUV featuring Trumpchi's self-developed GMC 2.0 hybrid system, the Shadow.
So far, Chinese brands have launched a large number of hybrid brands: BYD's Super Hybrid DM-i, Geely's Thor Hybrid, Chery's Kunpeng Hybrid, Changan's iDD, Great Wall's Lemon Hybrid...... Among these hybrid technology brands, Trumpchi's Jumbo Hybrid, though a latecomer, is the most impressive.
Because Trumpchi Jumbo Mix is the first technology brand that dares to call itself "the strongest blend in China" when mixing gradually becomes the prevailing trend.Yes, you read that right, it means "China is the strongest" without any other attribute. Before you look surprised, it's important to understand the concept of giant wave mixing. After that, you can probably see why Trumpchi dares to shout this "strongest".
< p>< P > Different from some other hybrid brands, Juilang hybrid does not refer to a specific technology, but a technical group, including Toyota's THS and Trumpchi's highly extensible GMC hybrid system -- covering petrol-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid and extension-range hybrid. Even hydrogen power systems. For now, Trumpchi is a Chinese brand with two hybrid technologies. For example, the Big Wave hybrid is more like an army fighting a war, while the other hybrids are more like individual combat. Set the "18 martial arts" of the big wave mixed, of course, have the confidence to win the "China's strongest mixed" the title.
You may wonder why Trumpchi developed Toyota THS hybrid system after developing GMC hybrid system? After all, these two sets of hybrid systems take completely different routes and have different emphases --
Toyota's THS is power separation type, while Trumpchi's GMC 2.0 is series parallel type. Although they both emphasize efficiency and quality, their paths are different. If you want to walk on both legs at the same time, Jumang Mix will spend at least twice as much time and energy as other hybrid brands to bring the product to market, and it is likely to miss the market.
As you can see, Trumpchi's GMC 2.0 was officially unveiled back in 2019 at the Guangzhou Auto Show. Back then, BYD's super-hybrid DM-i wasn't officially on the scene, and Great Wall's lemon Hybrid DHT was still in its infancy. But today, BYD's DM-i is already a hit, Great Wall's DHT has several models in the pipeline, and Trumpchi's GMC 2.0 has yet to hit mass production. There are many reasons why Trumpchi insists on walking on both legs. One of the most important is the user: As a user enterprise, Trumpchi wants to give consumers back choice and offer them as many options as possible, rather than simply making decisions for them.
Many engineers felt that, in terms of single-cylinder efficiency, three-cylinder machines were better than four-cylinder machines, and that the inherent vibration problems could be compensated for by training, so there would be no problem in bringing them to market. However, even if you explain, even if you no matter how much publicity, also can not change the consumer's concept of three-cylinder machine, hard push can only accept failure.In the present "customer first", what users want is not "you think", but "I think". What they want is the comprehensive value of the product, rather than the technology itself. Therefore, for them, there is no such thing as the best technology route, only a more suitable product.
1+1>2
< P > Trumpchi with multiple approaches will certainly be questioned by people: "Let alone the Great Wall and BYD, even the hybrid 'old brands' like Toyota and Honda, still stick to the same road to the black. Won't Trumpchi, who walks on two legs, end up going either way?"
But in fact, Trumpchi, which walks on two legs, not only has no negative impact of "1+1<2", but also gains "1+1>2". Whether it is the second-generation Trumpchi GS8 using Toyota's THS, or the subsequent models using Trumpchi GMC 2.0, all indexes have reached the top level in the industry.
For example, the first A-class hybrid car equipped with the fourth-generation 2.0ATK engine of GMC 2.0+ Trumpchi, although the engine displacement is higher than that of rival products of the same level of "Two Da" (1.8L for Toyota and 1.5L for Honda), the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 km under NEDC condition is 10% lower than that of them. Trumpchi doesn't simply pursue data on paper. It does everything from the user's perspective. In terms of engine thermal efficiency, Trumpchi emphasizes the actual operating conditions of the user -- 42.1%, rather than the imaginary peak.
While maintaining extremely low fuel consumption, its acceleration performance is not bad.
Although it hasn't been officially announced as a "100 percent acceleration", it is said to be on par with BYD Qin PLUS as a PHEV. It is important to know that PHEVs can significantly improve their acceleration performance because of their large battery capacity to support large enough discharge power -- even 0.3s of "zero acceleration" is not an issue, so it is not easy for a HEV to achieve the level of PHEV acceleration. Trumpchi GMC 2.0 is matched with an efficient refrigerant direct cooling battery, which not only has good heat dissipation effect and low loss, but also can discharge 70kW for ten seconds at 25-40℃ and 50%SOC. Come on, it's not for nothing. Low energy consumption and fast acceleration are the advantages of hybrid technology of almost all Chinese brands, and Trumpchi GMC 2.0 is no exception. What it really took from the Toyota THS was reliability. Because it knows that Toyota THS has more than 18 million users worldwide not just because of efficiency, but also because of quality. Trumpchi has made a lot of efforts to improve the reliability of GMC 2.0 and hold himself to standards beyond the industry. According to the official statement, Trumpchi GMC 2.0 is the first Chinese brand hybrid system in the industry that has passed the reliability verification of 10g vibration acceleration and EMC on-load test Class 3, and has passed the rigorous verification of 10+ 10,000 hours bench test and vehicle verification equivalent mileage of 10 million kilometers. It's easy to see why, having been on the market since 2019, it's only now in mass production. As a new technology, it hopes to find out as far as possible the reliability problems that users may encounter in the real use environment in the trial phase, and solve them in advance, so as to reassure users and save them from worry.In terms of matching Toyoda's, Trumpchi is also perfect. There is even a feeling that trumpchi is better than the blue.
Fuel consumption of the second generation Trumpchi GS8 is exactly the same as that of Highlander: under NEDC condition, comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 km of the two-drive version is also 5.3L, and that of the four-drive version is 5.8L. This level in the medium and large SUV when the leader. For reference, the Ideal ONE, the so-called "new energy" that can be on the green brand, has a fuel consumption of 8.8L/100km, about 34% higher than them.
However, on the premise of maintaining the THS advantage of low energy consumption, the second generation Trumpchi GS8 fills Toyota's weakness in power: the all-wheel-drive version of "zero hundred acceleration" only takes 6.9 seconds, nearly 2 seconds faster than the Toyota Highlander. It is not much different from the "zero hundred acceleration" of 6.5 seconds, the ideal ONE, which is mainly driven by electricity.
Orders for the GS8 dual-engine series, which is equipped with Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, have continued to rise, ranking No. 1 in China's hybrid SUV sales of 200,000 units in the first quarter of this year.
On GMC 2.0, Trumpchi not only achieves industry-leading performance, but also has a few more reliable and durable genes of Toyota THS. On Toyota THS, Trumpchi makes up for the poor acceleration performance of the original on the premise that energy consumption is the same as that of the original. Trumpchi not only provides consumers with two different choices, but also combines their performance and advantages to give full play to them. Naturally, it is more confident to win the title of "China's most powerful hybrid". < / p > < p > < b > more than 10 years of effort, just for today < / b > < / p > < p > of course, the qi himself referred to as "China's strongest hybrid", behind also has the support of the "big data". By big data, I mean its vast amount of time and experience.Sometimes, I just don't understand why consumers trust technology from new forces that have only been building cars for a few years. Good technology is often not achieved overnight, need a lot of time, experience precipitation. Trumpchi, for example, can be traced back to 13 years ago, when Trumpchi wasn't long in the making. Trumpchi can be said to be the first Chinese brand to explore a variety of hybrid technology routes in China. Trumpchi had already started work on its first hybrid model back in 2009, and soon brought 200 hybrid models based on the P1+P4 configuration to market.
In 2014, Trumpchi officially launched the GA5 REV, the first extended-range electric vehicle in China. The performance of this electric vehicle is still very impressive today: with only 13kWh of electricity, its pure electric endurance can reach 50km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100km under NEDC condition is only 2.4L. Trumpchi isn't just mixing it up. In fact, it has been a leader in hybrid technology for Chinese brands for more than a decade, though it has kept a relatively low profile. In 2017, just three years later, Trumpchi abandoned the extension-range route and upgraded its hybrid system to the serial-parallel version used by most Chinese brands today -- the GMC 1.0, the predecessor of the current GMC 2.0 -- with a special hybrid engine, the 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine. At that time, there were only four Oems in the world with special hybrid transmission, except Toyota and Honda, which were SAIC and Trumpchi. Among them, Trumpchi is the first Chinese brand with complete intellectual property rights, and also the first Chinese brand to achieve large-scale production in the series and parallel route.In other words, the current popular extended-range, series-parallel...... Five years ago, Trumpchi had already played with all of them and had corresponding products on the market. It was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each system and systematically screened them according to whether they had inevitable fatal shortcomings.
In early 2020, Trumpchi systematically upgraded GMC 1.0, upgrading the original 1.5L ATK to 1.5T turbocharged engine, making it more efficient in power generation, stronger in power, and more widely used scenarios. If I remember correctly, the GS4 PHEV with this system is the first plug-in hybrid model from a Chinese brand that dares to proclaim its fuel consumption.
It may be that PHEVs were not well understood at the time, so even though GS4 PHEVs performed well, they failed to shake the market. As early as two years ago, Trumpchi has developed hybrid electric models that are very competitive even now. Its 4.6L/100km, or "Lack of electricity" fuel consumption is still the top level in the industry, similar to the Song Pro and Song PLUS, compact SUVs equipped with DM-i hybrid technology. Supposedly, with good performance of GMC 1.0, Trumpchi needs to think about how to reduce the cost and gain, and fully market this technology. Surprisingly, however, Trumpchi is still looking for technological breakthroughs. To that end, it worked with consulting firms in Europe to analyze 190,000 possible options for hybrid-specific transmissions before finally choosing the current two-gear parallel configuration, the GMC 2.0.
"Why 'two stops'?" A lot of people might ask.
The reason why the special transmission of hybrid needs gear is to let the engine in the efficient working range directly drive the vehicle, so that the efficiency of the whole system is higher. However, if there are too many gears, the weight, size and cost of the system will increase with the increase of gear, but the performance will not improve linearly with the increase of gear, so the gain is not worth the loss.
Trumpchi is brave enough to shout: "comprehensive cost and performance and other factors, the current two is the best!"
< /p>Yes, every step Trumpchi takes in the hybrid space is supported by big data. It can tell you directly why you should do it and how to do it best. And that's how Trumpchi gets to shout "China's strongest mix."
