BYD and great wall hybrid market "get together" again

When it comes to new energy vehicles , The first thing many people think of is pure electric vehicles , But few people realize that hybrid vehicles also play an important role in the energy transformation of the industry .

actually , In the comprehensive “ No burning ” Under the global trend , Now there are more and more car companies both inside and outside the industry , Choose to incorporate hybrid vehicles into your transformation plan , Try to speed up the transformation of new energy .

Car giants gathered in hybrid

According to public information , At present, automobile brands involved in hybrid vehicles in the automotive industry , Not only BYD 、 The Great Wall 、 Geely and other private car enterprises “ Three swordsmen ”, It also includes GAC 、 Chang'an and others “ national team ” Automobile enterprise group ; In terms of hybrid models , Even more, there have been... Including BYD DM series （ Qin Han Song Tang ） And the Great Wall WEY Macchiatto 、WEY Latte 、 The harvard H6S, The star of Geely Automobile L Hybrid version and Imperial L Hi·X, GAC motor GS8, Chery's Tiger 8 And many other models , It is not difficult to see that domestic independent brands have sounded the horn of comprehensive hybrid . that , Why are hybrid cars suddenly favored by the public ？

firstly , Hybrid cars have a good market position . On the demand side , At present, although the new energy vehicle market is hot , However, many users will still have problems with the mileage of pure electric vehicles “ doubt ”, Especially in charging stations 、 When the infrastructure such as charging pile is not perfect , The user to “ Pure electric vehicles ” Obviously have a heavier “ The mileage ” anxious , Hybrid cars can avoid this .

such as , Hybrid cars are in urban areas with complete infrastructure , We can continuously supplement energy with the help of infrastructure such as power stations ; In places with imperfect infrastructure, gasoline can be used to supplement endurance , Minimize users' mileage anxiety . in addition , Nowadays, the cost of electricity per kilometer of electric vehicles has been basically reduced to 0.2 yuan （ Only fuel vehicles 1/3）, The extremely low cost is more attractive than the oil truck .

second , With the gradual maturity of domestic hybrid car technology , Domestic hybrid cars have gradually ushered in a big explosion . all the time , The hybrid market has always been Toyota 、 Dominated by Japanese enterprises such as Honda , However, in the past year or two, a number of independent brand car companies have released self-developed hybrid core technology , Including BYD's DM-i And DM-p technology 、 Great Wall Motor's lemon hybrid DHT、 Blue whale of Chang'an Automobile iDD technology 、 Chery Kunpeng DHT Super hybrid, etc , Although the technical paths are different , But in pure electric driving 、 There has been a qualitative leap in core technologies such as comprehensive fuel consumption and power performance , This has laid a good external foundation for a large number of domestic hybrid models to be launched .

third , Policy encouragement is also an important factor . At present, whether it is the double point policy or the purchase tax exemption and other measures , Let all have “ Low energy consumption ” Hybrid energy-saving vehicle , It is increasingly valued by the capital market and various vehicle enterprises .

in general , Hybrid cars can develop into a new route , And received attention from all sides , And technology 、 policy 、 The multiple resultant forces of market demand cannot be separated .

BYD is the best in the world

As a company that has long laid out the hybrid vehicle field , BYD is unique in the field of hybrid vehicles . According to the latest released data ,2022 year 1-4 month , The cumulative sales of BYD's plug-in hybrid models 18.96 Thousands of cars , Year-on-year surge 699.91%, The growth rate of sales exceeds that of pure electric vehicles , It seems to be the locomotive driving BYD's sales growth . BYD can do this , It has something to do with its continuous efforts in many aspects .

One side , BYD launched DM-i and DM-p technology （ Dual mode hybrid technology ）, Continue to improve its voice in the hybrid field . It is reported that ,DM-i Focus on ultra-low fuel consumption , Satisfy “ Pursue the ultimate driving energy consumption ” Users of , It is a hybrid technology based on electricity , It mainly focuses on high-power motor drive and large-capacity power supply, and battery power supply , Electric hybrid structure supplemented by engine , It has achieved the transcendence of five core systems in technology ： First, it has created the highest thermal efficiency in mass production in the world 43.04% The engine of , The second is the series parallel double motor structure EHS Electric hybrid system , Third, the world's first power blade battery , The fourth is a thermal management system that adapts to all climatic conditions , Fifth, it has the same service life as the whole vehicle 12V Lithium iron phosphate small battery .

These system level innovations make BYD DM-i Technology has been greatly improved , Basically, it can be realized in 81% The engine is in “ Fully flameout ” And it is completely zero fuel consumption , This is almost infinitely close to the energy efficiency ratio of pure electric vehicles , For those who have “ Saving energy and reducing consumption ” For users who need it “ technology ” It's hard to resist .

meanwhile , Another technology platform DM-p Technology continues DM3 The heritage of , The main “ Super power ”, It adopts double engine 4WD structure , Its advantage in power has been enhanced, and its acceleration sense is extremely fast , Its biggest advantage is that the generator adds BSG The motor , It can be used as an engine , It can also be used as an auxiliary motor for power , Accelerate to 100 meters 4.7S. Of course , In addition to these two technology platforms , BYD is in the battery 、 Electric drive and other technologies , They have also played the greatest role in improving the energy efficiency of their hybrid cars .

On the other hand , BYD revolves around DM Technology forms a product matrix covering all price segments , This enables its hybrid models to take into account the medium and high-end market and the mass market . Currently in BYD's hybrid models , It covers the middle and low end of Qin PLUS DM-i、 The song dynasty PLUS DM-i Models such as , There are also Tang covering the medium and high-end market DM-i、DM-p And Han DM-i Models such as , Its price segment has realized from 10 Less than 10000 to 30 The full coverage of 10000 models , Firmly occupy the largest volume 、 The fastest growing incremental market . Based on this , BYD was able to ride the hybrid car market where giants gathered .

Great Wall Motors followed

As another player of private car giants , Great Wall Motors has less accumulation in the field of new energy vehicles than BYD , But in recent years, Great Wall Motors' transformation in new energy vehicles is also accelerating , Its efforts and methods are no less than those of other car companies , For the fast-growing hybrid market, we are determined to win .

First, it is widely used in various hybrid technologies , Try to find new “ overtaking ” The opportunity to . From the perspective of Great Wall Motors' development of new energy vehicles , Can be said to be “ I got up very early , A late show ”, As Wei Jianjun, chairman of the Great Wall, said “ Great Wall hopes to be a follower in the field of new energy vehicles ”, Despite the words , Great Wall Motors has not relaxed at all about the cutting-edge technology route such as hybrid . After the mainstream new energy models have been verified by the market , Great Wall Motors no longer chooses to continue “ follower ” 了 , Instead, it established its own hybrid technology platform with the momentum of thunder — Lemon hybrid DHT Technology platform , Prove your strength with heavy technology .

Judging from the parameters of the currently disclosed hybrid models , The technical strength of great wall hybrid is not inferior to today “ Just red ” BYD of DM, Some technical parameters can explain the problem . such as , Lemon hybrid DHT Technology adopts seven in one integration technology , The quality of its hybrid system assembly has reached 75kg, Almost half of BYD , Two thirds of Geely ; Its maximum torque 、 Power and acceleration , Compared with DM-i To be a little better , The decline of assembly quality undoubtedly plays a great role in its overall acceleration , Its overall acceleration effect is also better , It can be seen that Great Wall Motors has great influence on hybrid vehicles “ Catch up ” The heart .

The second is to accelerate the full coverage of core hybrid models . According to the financial report of Great Wall Motors , At present, the Great Wall has been used DHT A technical model , It basically covers all models of the three new technology platforms built by great wall , For example, its coffee family products take Wei brand as the footnote , Macchiato has been launched in succession DHT、 Macchiatto DHT-PHEV、 Latte DHT And mocha DHT-PHEV, Other old models such as Haval red rabbit 1.5L DHT, The harvard H6S DHT, And the newly launched Haval beast hybrid DHT edition . It is not difficult to see from its constant speed of upgrading , Great Wall Motors pays attention to its hybrid product line .

On the whole , Great Wall Motors, which is a little slower in the transformation of new energy vehicles , Nowadays, both in technology and hybrid models are catching up “ Friend dealer ”. Not hard to foresee , With the continuous involvement of Great Wall in the hybrid market , The domestic hybrid market will also usher in a new change .

What is the key to the future competition ？

It took one and a half years to compile 《 Energy saving and new energy vehicle technology roadmap 2.0》 expect , To 2025 year 、2030 The annual production and sales volume of automobiles in China will reach 3200 Thousands of cars 、3800 Thousands of cars , Expect to 2025 In, hybrid vehicles accounted for 50% above ,2030 In, it accounted for 70% above . Predictably, , In the process of replacing old energy with new energy in the future , Hybrid vehicles with low-carbon properties will become an important force .

There is no doubt that whether from the current or the future , The hybrid market will be a market that all manufacturers want to win . However , Judging from the current competitive situation of the industry , In the future, the competition in the hybrid market will change a lot .

One side , Hybrid manufacturers have been focusing too much on “ Low energy consumption ” Compete , In fact, it damages other requirements of users in some performance , This situation may change in the next time . A major advantage of hybrid cars , That is to solve users' endurance anxiety , And achieve better energy consumption than fuel vehicles , This has made a number of car manufacturers in the industry for a long time “ Reduce energy consumption ” In the priority position , But overemphasis on reducing energy consumption brings some “ Partial family ” problem .

such as , Like Toyota THS Although in power 、 Good acceleration performance , But there is a gap in fuel consumption compared with other competitors ; And Honda iMMD And Geely Raytheon went to another extreme , In order to save fuel, the power is excessive “ castration ”, Affecting the overall driving performance . In the long run , Users' pursuit of complete performance experience , Will directly guide the car factories from “ Simply pursue low energy consumption ” Toward “ comprehensive ” Find a balance between driving experience and low driving cost .

On the other hand , In terms of Technology , In recent years, the technology of domestic hybrid is indeed in “ Visible to the naked eye ” The way of , However, the technical weaknesses in related fields still need to be further complemented and improved . For now , The main constraints on domestic hybrid cars are 2 Something ： First, the patent blockade of hybrid technology , Second, there is a lack of engines with high combustion efficiency . With AT Gearbox as an example , Domestic cars produce high-quality AT The gearbox is completely OK , But there are too many patent barriers , Mature technology is completely useless , The cost of developing new technologies is too high 、 Time is too long , Input and output are not directly proportional .

Although there are already BYD and other manufacturers in China , Breakthroughs have been made in high combustion efficiency generators , But for those manufacturers with poor technical strength , It may only rely on imported motors or domestic “ Friend dealer ” A free ride to , Otherwise, it will be difficult to win the recognition of consumers .

On the whole , Around the diversified needs of user driving experience , Ensuring the best overall performance experience will be the key to the competition in the hybrid vehicle market in the future , Who can be in the future “ Low energy consumption ” To achieve a better driving experience on the basis of , Who can go to the forefront of the hybrid market .
