BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology represents a groundbreaking leap in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Exclusively developed by BYD, it delivers a host of benefits, including enhanced energy efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, improved driving performance, and exceptional comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology distinguishes itself from other PHEV systems with its electric-based hybrid architecture at its core. This system primarily relies on a high-power motor and a large-capacity battery, using the engine as supplementary support. This innovative approach prioritises efficiency and seamlessly adjusts to various driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle runs entirely on electric power. As the charge depletes, it switches to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric propulsion with minimal reliance on fuel. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also reduces fuel consumption, offering a more environmentally friendly driving experience. It ensures a quiet, smooth ride while maintaining high power performance and responsiveness.

The three core components of Super DM Technology

BYD Super DM technology is made up of 3 core components:

Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

The Electric Hybrid System (EHS) integrates a sophisticated powertrain, combining high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology. This innovative setup boosts motor power density and overall efficiency, delivering enhanced performance.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS features powerful high-speed dual motors, reaching a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, ensuring outstanding performance across diverse driving conditions.

Hairpin Motor Technology
Utilising cutting-edge hairpin technology, the EHS significantly enhances heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% for the majority of its operation.

Oil Cooling Technology
The system integrates oil cooling technology, directly targeting the heat source to improve dissipation. This increases motor power density to an impressive 5.5 kW/kg.

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
The IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) boosts the overall electronic control efficiency to an impressive 98.9%, ensuring precise and reliable performance.

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid engine

The Xioayun engine, designed specifically for Super DM Technology, features a cutting-edge design that delivers world-leading thermal efficiency. Its compact and streamlined structure enhances power output, offering impressive peak power and torque.

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology incorporates a customised version of the renowned Blade Battery, specifically tailored for the hybrid platform. These specialised Blade Batteries start at 18.3 kWh, offering a pure electric range of up to 43 miles. Key advantages include:

Enhanced Safety
The Blade Battery has undergone the rigorous Nail Penetration Test without igniting or emitting smoke, ensuring top-tier safety.

Optimised Strength
Each cell is organised into a single pack, acting as a structural beam that resists external forces. The aluminium honeycomb-like structure, reinforced by high-strength panels on both the top and bottom, provides enhanced vertical rigidity.

Extended Range
Compared to conventional battery packs, the Blade Battery utilises space 50% more efficiently, increasing energy density and extending the vehicle's range.

Longer Lifecycle
With a lifespan of over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles, the Blade Battery offers exceptional longevity.
