Young people's hybrid answer: Lynk & Co smart electric hybrid

For a long time, everyone’s perception of hybrid models is “giving up performance for fuel efficiency”. Buying a hybrid car is about the same as buying a grocery cart. Driving must be Buddhist.Is it true that fuel efficiency and performance cannot have both?Young people drive hybrid cars, can they really only drive with a 50-year-old mentality?With the development of technology today, isn't there a new answer?Today, Lynk & Co gave a resounding answer - "Lynk E-Motive" (hereinafter referred to as "Lynk Smart Electric Hybrid").

■ The answer comes from confidence in technology

"Lynk & Co Smart Hybrid" originated from the Geely Raytheon intelligent hybrid technology platform, and also has Lynk & Co's own brand value innovation.Since the release of the Raytheon power platform in October last year, Geely has built up a power technology reserve of "aircraft carrier formation level". Whether it is an efficient and energy-saving engine assembly or an industry-leading hybrid transmission, it has become Lynk & Co's powerful technology endorsement.

"Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" Power Matrix

Therefore, the power matrix of "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" will cover 3 high thermal efficiency, high performance hybrid engines, 2 high efficiency hybrid transmissions, and 2 high power rear-drive motors, which will match more powertrains. Different specifications of high-performance power batteries.

Through different combinations, “Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid” provides products in two power forms, EM-F (HEV) and EM-P (PHEV).Among them, EM-P (PHEV) products will have two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, standard/long battery life/ultra-long battery life, etc.At the press conference, Lynk & Co said that it will be the first to launch a model with a pure electric battery life of 180 kilometers (four-wheel drive) under WLTC conditions, and will also bring more versions with a pure electric battery life of 60, 100, and 150 kilometers (four-wheel drive). , in order to meet the different needs of users.A total of 4 models equipped with the "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" will be launched this year, and 3 more models will be launched in the next two years.

The core technical reserves have brought technical confidence to Lynk & Co.However, looking at the current hybrid vehicle market, hybrid technologies are becoming more and more similar, and everyone has a good performance in energy saving and fuel saving. “Lynk & Co Smart Hybrid” must give differentiated answers.

■ The answer comes from a breakthrough in performance

As a Lynk & Co brand with the label of "performance", the method of "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Mixer" to break the involution is very clear - not forgetting the original intention and returning to performance.Therefore, in the power matrix of "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid", we can see such a new set of power combinations:

2.0TD hybrid special engine: the maximum power is 185kW, the maximum torque is 420N m, and the maximum thermal efficiency has also reached a high level of 40%;

3-speed dual-motor electric transmission (DHT Pro): The maximum power of the P1 motor is 60kW and the maximum torque is 180N m.The maximum power of the P2 motor is 100kW and the maximum torque is 320N m;

Rear drive motor (P4 motor): The maximum power is up to 150 kW, and the maximum speed is up to 16000rpm.

Rear drive motor up to 150 kW

Compared with most of the hybrid powertrains currently on the market,the power combination of "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" can be called a hybrid version of "V6+Dual Booster".Of course, the power parameters look fierce, and do not fully represent performance.Therefore, the “Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid” brings more fun to the driver in power calibration, such as“ejection start”.

The Lynk & Co smart electric hybrid HEV and PHEV models equipped with DHT Pro can use the drive motor to output the maximum torque at the 0th second when starting, and the excellent transient response characteristics of the hybrid engine. The torque of the motor converges with the torque output by the drive motor at the fastest speed, and at the same time matches the large speed ratio of the first gear to maximize the energy delivery to the wheels.Finally, the "ejection start" effect that can only be achieved on traditional fuel performance vehicles is realized.

In addition, compared with traditional cars, which limit the number of ejections to protect the mechanical transmission, the "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" takes advantage of the electric drive hybrid, and can enjoy the smooth experience brought by ejection and starting more times.

In addition to "ejection start", the DHT Pro electric drive transmission of "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" can achieve 3-speed transmission, allowing the engine to intervene in parallel drive at more than 20km/h. Compared with commercially available single-speed hybrid models, at full speed The performance when driving in the field is even better.

"Lynk & Co Smart Electric Mixer" is terrifying

What's more interesting is that when the vehicle speed reaches 80km/h, the single-speed hybrid model is generally in the direct-drive state of the engine, and the power is completely dependent on the power of the engine,while the DHT Pro with 3-speed transmission can realize the downshift operation on traditional cars., cooperate with the drive motor to make high-speed overtaking more light.Therefore, through the 3-speed transmission of the DHT Pro, the "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" not only ensures the fuel economy, but also releases the dynamic performance that ordinary hybrid vehicles cannot match.

In general, the "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" may completely change everyone's inherent impression of the "meat" of hybrid vehicles. At the same time, don't forget that the "Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid" HEV model has a low fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. 4.5L, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the PHEV model can be as low as 5.1L (all in WLTC conditions).Linking the "energy saving" and "performance" of hybrid vehicles is exactly the interpretation of Lynk & Co's "priority" for its own brand users. A new "blue ocean".

■ The answer comes from the evolution of intelligence

However, "confidence" and "breakthrough" cannot be the whole content of the answer sheet of "Lynk & Co Smart Hybrid". "Lynk & Co Smart Hybrid" decides to define the upper limit of the hybrid experience with software.

20 intelligent working modes of two-wheel-drive models equipped with “Lynk & Co Smart Electric Hybrid”

First of all, as a new generation of hybrid system, the control of oil and electricity is very important, so a set of intelligent energy management system is essential. Mode, series mode, parallel mode and energy recovery mode) for precise subdivision of the scene, so that the two-wheel drive hybrid model has 20 intelligent working modes, and the four-wheel drive hybrid model has 38 intelligent working modes.

Of course, this is not enough.The system will also use the clustering algorithm to learn from the user's driving behavior, determine the driving style, and adjust the acceleration response more intelligently.At the same time, the system will also combine objective environmental data such as road condition data, weather conditions and vehicle ADAS data to match suitable driving modes for different road sections."Lynk & Co Smart Hybrid" is like Jarvis, the AI ​​assistant of Marvel's Iron Man, constantly learning your driving habits.
