Off-road+new energy tank 300 HEV and tank 500 PHEV debut
On August 26th, at the Chengdu Auto Show, the tank brand officially released the "off-road+new energy" technical route and off-road super hybrid architecture. At the same time, two production hybrid models, the tank 300 HEV and the tank 500 PHEV, appeared together, officially opening the off-road era of tank new energy.
- Off-road+new energy, tanks release new categories
At present, the automobile industry is accelerating the comprehensive new energy utilization. As a pioneer of off-road transportation, the tank takes the lead in turning its eyes to the off-road subdivision track of new energy, and strives to meet the users’ demand for two-way experience of off-road electrification in a forward-looking way, so that every user can enjoy the low energy consumption and high performance of new energy, and can go out of the city at any time for a off-road trip without any scene.
Relying on the continuous cultivation of Great Wall Motor in the off-road field for more than 30 years and the accumulation of nearly 10 million user data, the tank has a unique understanding of user needs and off-road scenes. Great Wall Motor’s new energy layout and inclusive tank platform provide a hard-core technology reserve for tanks to enter the new energy off-road.
Based on the strong brand potential, technical reserve and deep insight into users’ needs, the tank brand released the "off-road+new energy" technical route and off-road super hybrid architecture at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show, which promoted the new energy off-road category to enter the public’s field of vision and let more and more users enjoy the charm of new energy off-road.
- Off-road super hybrid architecture comprehensively lays out new energy sources
With high-performance engine, battery, electric drive, electronic control and tank platform, tank brand has created the first platform achievement of "off-road+new energy" technical route-off-road super hybrid architecture.
The off-road super hybrid architecture integrates the core advantages of engine and motor parallel dual direct drive, TOD+ differential lock mechanical four-wheel drive system, intelligent SOC energy management, etc. It is compatible with outdoor off-road and urban travel, and realizes the full scene coverage of low, medium and heavy off-road.
Based on the off-road super hybrid architecture, the tank unveiled two production hybrid models-the tank 300 HEV and the tank 500 PHEV.
The 300 HEV version of the tank is equipped with a 2.0T Miller cycle engine and a 9HAT transmission. It has a maximum power of 224kW and a maximum torque of 640Nm, and its power reserve is more abundant, showing amazing unique charm in urban and off-road scenes.
When driving in the city, the motor is directly involved, which makes the start and acceleration more rapid, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is within 9s; In the process of crossing driving, the motor can also provide extra power and longer battery life. At the same time, the fuel consumption in the congestion process is greatly reduced by the addition of the motor. In terms of energy saving, the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 10L under WLTC working conditions, and the fuel consumption can be as low as 9L under urban working conditions, which effectively meets the needs of users for high economy and long cruising range in daily travel.
The 500 PHEV plug-in hybrid version of the tank is equipped with a battery with an electric capacity of 19.94kWh. With the 2.0T+9HAT powertrain, the maximum comprehensive power is 300kW, the maximum comprehensive torque is 750Nm, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 6.6 seconds. It can be powered by oil and electricity, and it is strong, quiet and smooth.
The high-efficiency hybrid system can achieve the comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC of 4.4L/100km and the comprehensive battery life of 736km when fully charged, which can break the pain point of fuel consumption in urban travel, achieve a longer crossing battery life, and enjoy the preferential policy of green brand exemption from purchase tax.
At the same time, the battery system supports 0.5-hour fast charge and 3-hour slow charge, and has 3.3kW external discharge power, which brings new possibilities for outdoor camping and emergency power consumption.
This year, two models, the tank 300 HEV and the tank 500 PHEV plug-in hybrid version, will be pre-sold globally. In the future, 3.0T V6 PHEV products will also be installed on high-end models such as Tank 700 and Tank 800, and will be introduced to the market one after another.
In addition to mixing, there is no doubt that "electric tank" is also the direction of the future layout of tank brands. At present, tanks are actively researching and developing reserves in the fields of batteries, motors and electronic control, and will bring "electric tanks" to the market in the near future.
- Tanks open a new era of new energy off-road
By August 2022, the distribution of tank brand channels has covered more than 100 networks nationwide, and the innovative channel forms based on experience centers, supermarkets, city exhibition halls and delivery centers are providing more users with exclusive service experiences beyond cars. At the same time, the global layout of tank brands is also accelerating. In July this year, the tank brand made its debut in Saudi Arabia, officially taking the first step in the globalization journey. Starting from the Middle East market, the tank brand will gradually expand into other overseas markets such as Russia and Australia.
More than a year ago, the tank brand was formally established. As of July this year, the total sales volume of tank models has exceeded 150,000, and the market share of the hard-core off-road market has reached 56%, which continues to lead the high-end off-road vehicle market in China. On the basis of brand potential energy, the release of the new energy technology route of tanks at this Chengdu Auto Show will open the new energy off-road era of tanks and inject new growth and vitality into the brand and market.
