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 provides a variety of advantages, such as improved energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption, enhanced driving performance, and exceptional comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology distinguishes itself from other PHEV technologies through its electric-centric hybrid system. At its core, this architecture primarily utilises a high-power motor drive paired with a large-capacity battery, employing the engine solely for supplemental support. This innovative system emphasises efficiency and effortlessly adjusts to a variety of driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle functions as a pure electric model. Once the state of charge drops, it transitions to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric power while minimising fuel usage. This strategy not only enhances environmental sustainability but also improves energy efficiency and reduces fuel consumption. It guarantees a quiet and comfortable ride while maintaining high power performance and responsiveness.

The three core components of Super DM Technology

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

Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

The Electric Hybrid System (EHS) boasts a highly integrated powertrain that incorporates high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology, all designed to improve 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 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
By leveraging innovative hairpin technology, the EHS significantly enhances heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% for most operating conditions.

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

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
The IGBT enhances overall electronic control efficiency, achieving an impressive rate of 98.9%.

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid engine

The Xioayun engine features an innovative design specifically crafted for Super DM Technology. With its world-class thermal efficiency and a streamlined, compact structure, it enhances power output, delivering remarkable peak power and torque.

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology incorporates a tailored version of the renowned Blade Battery. These specialised Blade Batteries for the hybrid platform offer power capacities starting at 18.3 kWh, providing a pure electric range of up to 43 miles. Key benefits include:

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

Optimised Strength:
Each cell is organised in a single pack, acting as a structural beam to withstand force. The aluminium honeycomb-like structure is reinforced with high-strength panels on both the top and bottom, enhancing vertical rigidity.

Extended Range:
The Blade Battery improves space utilisation by 50% compared to traditional battery packs, leading to increased energy density and a longer range.

Longevity:
The Blade Battery is designed for durability, boasting a lifespan of over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles.

Additional Technology

Charging: Fast & Convenient

Enjoy the convenience of rapid DC charging with Super DM Technology, enabling you to recharge your battery from 30% to 80% in just 35 minutes. Plus, there’s an AC option available for charging at home.

V2L: Practical & Fun

Experience the advantages and practical features of Vehicle-to-Load (VtoL) technology, designed to enhance electric vehicles. BYD DM models equipped with VtoL can serve as a mobile power bank, providing energy to a variety of devices, from computers and gaming consoles to outdoor cinemas, kettles, and barbecues. Whether you're embarking on outdoor family adventures or addressing practical travel needs, VtoL technology adds an exciting new dimension to your journeys.

Three Power Supply Modes

Pure EV Mode

Comfortable City Driving: Experience serene journeys with outstanding ride comfort and the rapid, responsive acceleration characteristic of pure-electric driving. Regenerative braking efficiently captures energy to enhance your range. In Pure EV Mode, the wheels are solely driven by the electric motor, while the Xiaoyun engine remains on standby.

HEV Series Mode

Drive Further: When battery power falls below your designated state of charge (SOC), the engine automatically activates to help extend your range. In this scenario, the Xiaoyun engine acts as a generator to recharge the battery while the electric motor continues to drive the wheels, making HEV mode ideal for increasing your driving distance.

HEV Parallel Mode

Full Power Mode: In this mode, both the electric motor and the Xiaoyun engine work together to drive the wheels, offering swift acceleration for scenarios such as highway overtaking. Furthermore, when cruising at high speeds with a low state of charge (SOC), the wheels are exclusively powered by the Xiaoyun engine, maximising fuel efficiency while ensuring optimal power delivery.

A Superb All-Round Experience

BYD Super DM Technology revolutionises eco-friendly travel by merging energy efficiency and fuel economy with swift, responsive acceleration and a quiet, smooth ride.

Economical: Energy Efficient, Low Fuel Consumption

BYD Super DM Technology is engineered to provide outstanding energy efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, making it an ideal low-carbon option for environmentally conscious consumers. The specialised Xiaoyun 1.5L hybrid engine boasts an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 43.04%*. With a high-efficiency zone that can reach up to 80%, this technology delivers remarkable fuel consumption as low as 6 liters per 62 miles. Additionally, a powerful electric motor with an impressive 97% efficiency ensures economical performance, offering a pure electric driving range of 43 miles, while the combined system provides a reassuring total range of over 621 miles across diverse conditions.
