BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology represents a significant leap forward in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Developed exclusively by BYD, it delivers a range of benefits, such as improved energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption, enhanced driving performance, and greater comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology distinguishes itself from other PHEV systems with its electric-first hybrid architecture. Central to this design is a high-power motor drive and a large-capacity battery, with the engine serving as supplementary support. This innovative approach prioritises efficiency and effortlessly adapts to different driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle runs entirely on electricity. As the battery charge decreases, it seamlessly transitions to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric power with minimal fuel use. This environmentally-friendly approach enhances energy efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures a quiet, comfortable ride, all while maintaining high 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) incorporates a highly integrated powertrain, combining high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology to optimise motor power density and efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS features powerful high-speed dual motors, reaching up to 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
With the innovative hairpin technology, the EHS improves heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% for most of the time.

Oil Cooling Technology
The system employs oil cooling technology that targets the heat source directly, enhancing heat dissipation and boosting motor power density to a maximum of 5.5 kW/kg.

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
The IGBT elevates overall electronic control efficiency to an impressive 98.9%, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

A large capacity Blade Battery

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

Enhanced Safety: The Blade Battery has passed the stringent Nail Penetration Test without igniting or emitting smoke.

Optimised Strength: Each cell is arranged into a single pack that acts as a structural beam, providing resistance against force. The aluminium honeycomb-like structure, reinforced with high-strength panels on the top and bottom, increases vertical rigidity.

Longer Range: Compared to traditional battery packs, the Blade Battery maximises space utilisation by 50%, resulting in better energy density and an extended range.

Longer Lifecycle: The Blade Battery boasts an impressive lifespan of over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles.

A Superb All-Round Experience

BYD Super DM Technology transforms eco-friendly travel by combining energy efficiency and fuel economy with quick, responsive acceleration and a quiet, smooth ride.

Economical: Energy Efficient, Low Fuel Consumption

BYD Super DM Technology is engineered to provide exceptional energy efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, offering a practical low-carbon solution for environmentally conscious drivers. The specialised Xiaoyun 1.5L hybrid engine boasts an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 43.04%*, with a high-efficiency zone reaching up to 80%. This results in impressive fuel consumption as low as 6 litres per 62 miles. A powerful electric motor with an outstanding 97% efficiency further enhances performance, delivering a pure electric driving range of 43 miles. Combined, the system ensures a total range of over 621 miles, making it suitable for various driving conditions. (*CATARC certification data)

Fast: Exhilarating, Responsive and Dynamic

BYD Super DM Technology combines power and efficiency for an exhilarating driving experience. With a total system power of up to 238 kW, it delivers high performance, rapid acceleration, and agile responsiveness. The acceleration from 0-100 km/h rivals that of a 2.0T engine, while the electric motor boasts an impressive response time of just 10 milliseconds, enhancing precision and overall driving dynamics.

Quiet: Bringing Serenity to Journeys

The electric-focused architecture at the heart of BYD Super DM Technology guarantees a quiet and peaceful driving experience, turning every journey into a serene escape. Noise levels are kept to a minimum, allowing the vehicle to glide smoothly whether in the city or on the highway, showcasing the ideal balance of power, efficiency, and exceptional NVH performance.

Smooth: Exceptional Ride Comfort

BYD Super DM Technology delivers an exceptionally smooth ride, similar to that of a pure electric vehicle. The Electric Hybrid System is designed for simplicity, offering seamless gear shifts that ensure effortless driving and a comfortable journey every time.
