BYD DM-i Plug-in Hybrid Technology: Electricity as the Primary Element, Gasoline as a Secondary Element
The BYD SUPER HYBRID is equipped with DM-i plug-in hybrid technology, which uses electricity as the primary element and gasoline as a secondary element. Through an intelligent system, it precisely manages the energy source, achieving a perfect balance between high efficiency and flexibility, whether for daily commutes or traveling from Hong Kong to the mainland. It provides a near-pure electric driving experience in daily driving while completely eliminating range anxiety.
The BYD SUPER HYBRID combines the advantages of both new energy vehicles and gasoline vehicles.
The core of BYD's DM-i architecture is "electric-centric" and comprises three core technologies:
Ultra-efficient Hybrid Engine:A 1.5L high-efficiency engine specifically designed for DM-i, boasting world-leading thermal efficiency (up to 43.04%) and outstanding power and torque output.
Blade Battery:Independently developed by BYD, tailor-made for the hybrid platform, offering a pure electric range of 50 to 252 kilometers (depending on the model), combining high safety and high stability.
Electric Hybrid System (EHS): A highly integrated powertrain that integrates high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology, significantly improving motor power density and efficiency.
The DM-i system automatically balances the battery, motor, and engine: when the battery is fully charged, the vehicle operates in pure electric mode; when the battery is low, the engine starts to charge the battery or provide auxiliary power. This system not only saves fuel but also maintains the vehicle's high performance.
How to achieve "short-distance electricity use and long-distance hybrid energy use"—an operation mode primarily based on electricity:
• In urban driving conditions with low battery levels, the system is primarily driven by the electric motor, achieving ultra-low fuel consumption for daily urban commutes.
• For short trips, pure electric mode can be used, while for longer journeys, it switches to high-efficiency hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) mode, completely eliminating range anxiety.
The BYD DM-i system, with its dedicated high-efficiency hybrid engine, EHS hybrid system, blade battery, and "electric-first" intelligent strategy, significantly improves overall system efficiency, providing users with a more fuel-efficient, safer, and more flexible driving experience.
BYD DM-i Four Core Advantages
1️⃣ Ultra-low fuel consumption, saving money with ease
DM-i technology significantly reduces fuel consumption through a highly efficient electric drive system. In city driving, it can even approach pure electric mode, saving you fuel costs on every journey.
2️⃣ Powerful performance, smoother driving experience
The intelligent electronic control system instantly releases abundant torque, providing smooth acceleration and powerful hill climbing, maintaining robust power output even in low-fuel-consumption conditions.
3️⃣ Ultimate efficiency, zero energy waste
The engine achieves a thermal efficiency of 43%, producing the same amount of heat with less fuel, thus traveling further with a similar amount of fuel.
4️⃣ Quiet cabin, enhanced comfort
Nearly silent operation in pure electric mode, combined with sound insulation design, allows you to experience the tranquility of an electric vehicle, providing an immersive driving experience.
