- π BYD has unveiled a new hybrid engine that combines petrol power and electric efficiency, aiming to change the EV industry.
- π‘ This engine offers an impressive over 2,100 kilometers on a single tank and charge, with a 46.06% thermal efficiency.
- π― It challenges the need for expensive EVs by providing significant power and efficiency without constant charging worries.
The Evolution of BYD
- π± Founded in 1995 by Wang Chuanfu as a battery manufacturing company in China.
- π Initially, BYD supplied batteries to major companies like Nokia, Motorola, and Dell.
- π Entered the automobile industry in 2003 by acquiring Chinuan Automobile, focusing on electric and hybrid systems early on.
- β BYD manufactures everything in-house, including batteries, motors, engines, and software, ensuring cost control and high quality.
DMI Super Hybrid Technology
- π¬ The engine is built on DMI super hybrid technology, intelligently integrating a petrol engine and an electric motor.
- β‘ At low speeds or in city traffic, the car runs entirely on the electric motor, saving fuel.
- π£οΈ For more power, like on highways or inclines, the petrol engine automatically activates, working with the electric motor.
- π The petrol engine also charges the battery, making it a "self-charging hybrid" that reduces the need for external charging.
Advanced Energy Management
- π Official tests in China show an average fuel consumption of 3.8 L per 100 km for DMI hybrid cars.
- π§ BYD's system uses an electronic clutch to manage engine and motor operation, preventing energy waste.
- π‘ The battery management system focuses on energy balance, constantly sharing data between components.
- β»οΈ Features regenerative braking to return energy to the battery when descending or braking.
The Blade Battery Advantage
- π₯ The system's heart is BYD's proprietary blade battery, known for being robust, fireproof, and long-lasting.
- π‘οΈ A thermal management system keeps the battery temperature under control, extending its life and maintaining performance.
- β This integration provides drivers with power, mileage, and no charging hassles, making it a smart hybrid system.
