BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology marks a major advancement in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Exclusively developed by BYD, it offers numerous benefits, including enhanced energy efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, improved driving performance, and outstanding comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology sets itself apart from other PHEV technologies with its electric-centric hybrid system. At its core, this architecture mainly relies on a high-power motor drive coupled with a large-capacity battery, using the engine only for supplementary support. This innovative system prioritises efficiency and seamlessly adapts to various driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle operates as a pure electric model. As the charge level decreases, it switches to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric power while minimising fuel use. This approach not only boosts environmental sustainability but also enhances energy efficiency and reduces fuel consumption. It ensures a quiet and comfortable ride while delivering 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) features a highly integrated powertrain that includes high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology, all aimed at enhancing motor power density and efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS is equipped with powerful high-speed dual motors that can reach a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, ensuring exceptional performance in various driving conditions.

Hairpin Motor Technology
By employing innovative hairpin technology, the EHS significantly improves heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% in most operating conditions.

Oil Cooling Technology
The system features oil cooling technology that directly targets heat sources, enhancing dissipation capabilities and increasing motor power density to a maximum of 5.5 kW/kg.

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

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid engine

The Xioayun engine boasts an innovative design tailored for Super DM Technology. With its exceptional thermal efficiency and a compact, streamlined structure, it enhances power output, delivering impressive peak power and torque.

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology features a customised 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 arranged in a single pack, functioning as a structural beam to withstand force. The aluminum honeycomb-like structure is reinforced with high-strength panels on both the top and bottom, enhancing vertical rigidity.

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

Longevity
Designed for durability, the Blade Battery boasts a lifespan of over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles.

Additional Technology

Charging: Fast & Convenient

Experience the convenience of rapid DC charging with Super DM Technology, allowing you to recharge your battery from 30% to 80% in only 35 minutes. Additionally, an AC charging option is available for home use.

V2L: Practical & Fun

Discover the benefits and practical features of Vehicle-to-Load (VtoL) technology, designed to elevate electric vehicles. BYD DM models equipped with VtoL can function as a mobile power bank, supplying energy to a wide range of devices, including computers, gaming consoles, outdoor cinemas, kettles, and barbecues. Whether you’re embarking on outdoor family adventures or meeting practical travel needs, VtoL technology brings an exciting new dimension to your journeys.

Three Power Supply Modes

Pure EV Mode

Comfortable City Driving

Enjoy tranquil journeys with exceptional ride comfort and the quick, responsive acceleration typical of pure-electric driving. Regenerative braking effectively captures energy to extend your range. In Pure EV Mode, the wheels are powered exclusively by the electric motor, while the Xiaoyun engine remains on standby.

HEV Series Mode

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

HEV Parallel Mode

Full Power Mode: In this mode, both the electric motor and the Xiaoyun engine collaborate to drive the wheels, providing quick acceleration for situations like highway overtaking. Additionally, when cruising at high speeds with a low state of charge (SOC), the wheels are powered solely by the Xiaoyun engine, maximising fuel efficiency while ensuring optimal power delivery.

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 designed to deliver exceptional energy efficiency and lower fuel consumption, making it an ideal low-carbon choice for environmentally conscious consumers. The specialised Xiaoyun 1.5L hybrid engine features an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 43.04%*. With a high-efficiency zone that can reach up to 80%, this technology achieves impressive fuel consumption as low as 6 liters per 62 miles. Additionally, a powerful electric motor with an outstanding 97% efficiency ensures economical performance, providing a pure electric driving range of 43 miles, while the combined system offers a reassuring total range of over 621 miles in various conditions.

Fast: Exhilarating, Responsive and Dynamic

BYD Super DM Technology combines power and efficiency for every journey. With a total system output of up to 238 kW, you can expect a dynamic driving experience characterised by high performance, rapid acceleration, and agile responsiveness. The 0-100 km/h acceleration rivals that of a 2.0T engine, while the electric motor boasts an impressive response time of just 10 milliseconds, delivering exceptional precision in driving dynamics.

Quiet: Bringing Serenity to Journeys

The electric-centric architecture at the core of BYD Super DM Technology ensures quiet and tranquil journeys, turning the cabin into a peaceful oasis. Noise levels are minimised as the vehicle glides effortlessly, whether in the city or on the highway, demonstrating an ideal combination of power, efficiency, and outstanding noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) management.

Smooth: Exceptional Ride Comfort
