Chinese brands seize the high ground of hybrid technology

Publish Date: 2022.03.23

  Ye Shengji believes that hybrid power can solve the cruising range problem caused by pure electric power due to temperature and applicability, and there is a certain market demand, so there is a very good room for development in the next five years at least. Li Qingwen said that under the "dual carbon" goal, the life cycle of hybrid technology may still be 10-20 years.


  "For a period of time, Chinese brands have been accumulating and iterating on hybrid technology." Hu Tiegang said that as representatives of China's auto industry, companies such as Changan, Geely, and Great Wall have made good reserves in the research and development of hybrid products. , our products are very competitive, and we are confident to put them on the market to compete with joint venture brands.


  "At present, the industry's understanding of the development route of hybrid technology has reached a high degree of consensus; mainstream vehicle companies have also made breakthroughs in hybrid technology innovation, proving the superiority of their technology and products." President of the Automotive Evaluation Institute Li Qingwen said that under the "dual carbon" goal, the life cycle of hybrid technology may still be 10-20 years.


  Recently, the "2022 Automotive Powertrain International Summit Forum" was successfully held in the form of a digital cloud live broadcast. Guests from industry associations, scientific research institutions, automobile manufacturers, parts and fuel suppliers, etc., focused on the theme of the era of "breaking the two carbons", and conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as industry development trends, hybrid technology, and Chinese brands rallying together. .


  Hybrid still has development potential in the short term


  Ye Shengji, chief engineer and deputy secretary general of the China Automobile Association, recalled, "Ten years ago, when my country decided on the development plan of Xinyuan Automobile, it conducted intense discussions on whether to develop pure electric or hybrid power, including plug-in technology, and finally chose Pure electric is the best route. For pure electric technology, car companies have increased their research and development efforts, and they have also received certain policy support.”


  However, in the process of developing electrification, hybrids have shown good advantages and vitality for a long time. The industry recognizes that the iterative development of industrial customization requires gradual progress. Ye Shengji believes that hybrid power can solve the cruising range problem caused by pure electric power due to temperature and applicability, and there is a certain market demand, so there is a very good room for development in the next five years at least.


  Xu Xiangyang, executive deputy director of the National Passenger Vehicle Automatic Transmission Engineering Technology Research Center, also said that there are currently three consensuses in the industry: first, hybrid is a long-term technical route; second, after nearly ten years of independent innovation, domestic hybrid Dynamic technology realizes the transition from following to running, and even to leading; third, the hybrid technology route is already in a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming. Xu Xiangyang predicts that hybrid products and technologies will have better development space in the future, making due contributions to the energy saving and emission reduction of China's auto industry and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goal.


  In the "dual-carbon" era, gasoline-electric hybrid is an excellent solution that is environmentally friendly in the process of industry transformation, and it is also an indispensable and important means for the automobile industry to achieve "carbon reduction" standards. Wang Ruiping, senior vice president of Geely Automobile Group, pointed out that although authoritative organizations in the industry have different assessments on the contribution of hybrid and electric vehicles to reducing carbon emissions, they are of the same opinion that hybrid energy can greatly reduce carbon emissions from fuel vehicles. At the same time, the hybrid travel experience is also more in line with the actual needs of Chinese consumers.


  However, Li Qingwen also expressed some concerns about the status quo of "renewing energy and ignoring traditional power". Li Qingwen said that when it comes to "dual carbon", everyone thinks that once new energy is developed, traditional engines will die out overnight. "We need to cheer for traditional power, because the energy transition, including the electrification of vehicles, is a long-term iterative process, and iteration is also a process of development. We can see that according to the national plan, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles will also increase in 2025. Only 20%." Li Qingwen said.


  Chinese brands seize technological high ground


  In Li Qingwen's view, under the "dual carbon" goal, the advanced power system of China's auto industry in the future must be a diversified trend and direction, including pure electric, hybrid, hydrogen, etc., involving the auto industry, and related energy industry. Li Qingwen said, "The auto industry must do a good job of innovation, including power technology, manufacturing materials, etc.; the energy industry needs to keep pace with the times to match advanced power systems."


  At the same time when the new energy technology route is blooming, China's power brand has become a consensus. In the new industrial changes, China has become the world's largest market for new energy vehicles and a highland of technological innovation, and also provides a unique soil for the birth of world-class Chinese power brands. For example, in the field of hybrid special engines, the thermal efficiency of products of power brands such as Geely and BYD has exceeded the 41% mark.


  "For a period of time, Chinese brands have been accumulating and iterating on hybrid technology." Hu Tiegang, general manager of the Power Research Institute of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., said that as representatives of China's auto industry, companies such as Changan, Geely, and Great Wall have been mixing We have a good reserve in the research and development of dynamic products, our products are very competitive, and we are confident to put them on the market to compete with joint venture brands.


  In addition, in the exploration of energy diversification, brands such as Geely and Hongqi have gradually solved the technical problems in the application of methanol and hydrogen fuels in internal combustion engines. Li Jincheng, chief expert of FAW R&D Institute and an expert enjoying special allowances from the State Council, believes that the combination of carbon-neutral power technology and hybrid power represented by "double zero" emission hydrogen internal combustion engines can not only realize the transformation of internal combustion engines from traditional energy to new energy power Transformation is one of the ultimate technical routes to achieve "carbon neutrality" of passenger vehicle power at an economical scale.


  Opportunities in the electrification transformation window of the automotive industry will be fleeting, and companies must seize the opportunity to follow up with changes. While Chinese brands are growing rapidly and becoming mature, they must maintain the momentum of development through more innovations and continue to enhance their brand power. Wang Ruiping said: "Chinese brands still have a lot of room for development in terms of volume. In the future, they should focus on the domestic cycle as the main body and the mutual promotion of domestic and international dual cycles as the direction, so as to expand the market and strengthen the brand."
