Based on a Global Vision, Chery Builds the "Three Carriages" of Hybrid Technology
Chery, which insists on innovation-driven development, continues to polish the golden signboard of "Tech Chery." In 2001, when the word "hybrid" was still merely a future concept for most automakers, Chery had already begun its R&D journey from 0 to 1. In hybrid technology, Chery is the automaker in China that developed hybrid technology the earliest, has the best hybrid technology, has the fastest-growing hybrid segment, and has the most models equipped with hybrid technology.
At the conference, Yin Tongyue, Party Secretary and Chairman of Chery Holding Group, said that Chery's original intention in laying out hybrid technology was based on the concept of sustainability, always pursuing the "four sustainables" — sustainable green development, affordable prices, trustworthy safety, and reassuring range — to provide more and better technical solutions for different global markets and give users more choices. After more than 20 years of deep cultivation and layout, Chery has built the world's leading "three carriages" of hybrid technology: full-chain control of core technologies, defining industry standards with safety as the bottom line, and joining hands with global partners to build an open source ecosystem.
For the entire automotive industry, developing hybrid technology is about using technological innovation and new energy concepts to promote the green development of the auto industry and jointly build a sustainable Earth home. Chery believes that super hybrid technology will be a common new growth point for various global auto markets, and the limit of hybrid technology is always at the next corner.
A Good Hybrid Must Deliver a Global Standard Experience of "Four Highs and One Strong"
Chery's pursuit of technology never stops. Kunpeng Power has completed a full-domain powertrain layout integrating fuel, hybrid, pure electric, and hydrogen energy. Every track represents Chery's ultimate exploration in the energy field. Based on a global perspective, Chery's pursuit of hybrid technology has never ceased.
At the conference site, Gu Chunshan, Vice President of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., said that after in-depth analysis of global user needs, Chery distilled the global standard for a good hybrid: it must not only achieve "full-domain architecture and full-domain super performance," but also bring users an experience of "high energy efficiency, high performance, high intelligence, high safety, and strong off-road capability." In terms of energy efficiency, relying on the golden combination of a new-generation hybrid engine with 46.5% thermal efficiency and a hybrid transmission with 93% comprehensive efficiency, Kunpeng Hybrid opens the era of 2L fuel consumption; in terms of performance, Chery launched a 2.0TGDI hybrid dedicated engine, Kunpeng Hybrid DHT230 and DHT280 transmissions, achieving the world's highest hybrid power of 280kW and the world's highest hybrid motor speed of 24,000rpm; in terms of intelligence, the original integrated driving-domain intelligent control platform, combined with intelligent motion control and an intelligent energy management system, provides ultimate handling while enabling automatic planning of full-journey energy management; in terms of safety, Chery insists on global R&D, global standards, and global verification. Intelligent cloud integration technology creates 10 major safety protections, and with 800+ data diagnosis capabilities across 5 major global data centers, it safeguards every vehicle at every moment; Kunpeng Hybrid also offers a tailor-made CDM-O/CEM-O hardcore power solution for users who love off-roading, allowing them to gallop freely even in the Gobi Desert.
In addition, Gu Chunshan also unveiled the new-generation Kunpeng Tianqing hybrid dedicated engine, which can achieve the world's highest thermal efficiency of more than 48%. Let us look forward together to the peak strength of China's hybrid.
