Three core technologies of new energy vehicles – Battery, Electric Motor and Electric Control
BYD is the first automaker in the world to have full expertise and intellectual property in the three core technologies of EVs – batteries, electric motor and electric controls. In 2018, BYD is on-its-track to achieve a battery output capacity of 28GWh per year, making it the world’s leading manufacturer of batteries.
542 is a BYD performance, safety and fuel efficiency initiative, featuring in all of BYD’s High Performance DM (Dual Mode) Models
5: Acceleration from 0-100km/h in less than 5 seconds – redefining acceleration and setting a new standard for ultimate performance
4: Full-time electrified 4-wheel drive, response time in 0.02s –With an innovative electronic technology, the full-time electrified 4WD system is set to disrupt the complicated structure of the existing mechanical 4WD system with a response speed 10 times faster than that of the traditional system. Moreover, it can bite the road better, and provides a safer and more powerful driving experience, in addition to setting a new safety standard.
2: 100 km fuel consumption within 2L -The system has achieved a breakthrough in energy efficiency and set a new standard for fuel economy thanks to the in-house developed DMII technology (under MIIT test standard).
BYD Dual Mode Technology
In 2008, BYD launched the F3DM, the world’s first plug-in hybrid compact sedan, bringing the first generation of BYD’s Dual-Mode technology to the market. In 2013, the BYD Qin Sedan led NEV sales in China for 20 consecutive months following its launch. The model was also among the top three bestselling NEVs worldwide, beginning the market expansion of Dual-Mode technology
- Dual-Mode, Multiple- Drive
- BYD is a pioneer in combining IC engines with electric motors to enable its vehicles to freely and intelligently switch between pure electric and hybrid modes. This technology provides vehicles with extraordinary power while maintaining their superior fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness.
- Easy Charging
- Vehicles can be charged in a variety of places, from household wall outlets to charging poles in public parking areas.
- Environment Friendly and Energy Efficient
- Vehicles can run solely on electricity when traveling short distances, and use fuel when traveling long distances. The vehicle’s all-electric range meets most daily travel needs without generating any emissions.
- Extraordinary Power
- Dual-Mode technology dramatically increases the engine’s power output and RPMs to a maximum power output of 371 kW and a maximum torque of 820 Nm, whereas a conventional 6.0 L engine has a maximum power output of 327 kW and a maximum torque of 600 Nm.
- Low Running Costs
- With the advanced Dual-Mode Technology, the BYD Qin Sedan uses only 1.6L of fuel per 100km (under MIIT test standards).
BYD Bi-directional Charging/Discharging Technology
BYD’s Bi-directional Charging/Discharging technology creates a connected electrical system in which electric vehicles can be connected to other EVs, to the power grid or even to electrical appliances, thus becoming parts of a network instead of standalone units. This transforms EVs from mere forms of transportation to actual mobile power stations that can be used in emergencies or disaster relief initiatives. With this breakthrough, BYD is advancing a new era in the efficient use of electricity.
During non-peak hours, vehicles can be charged from the grid at lower rates, and during peak hours, they can serve as mobile power stations to supply AC power to single or three-phase grids, optimizing their efficiency.
EVs can also be used in emergencies to charge other EVs that may have run out of power.
When disconnected from the grid, vehicles can serve as temporary power supplies for AC-powered home appliances on field trips or other outdoor activities.
