Chapter 674: The Difference Between Light Hybrid and Start-Stop Systems

In the eyes of many people who don't quite understand this mild hybrid system, this so-called mild hybrid system is actually an automatic start-stop system that has been vigorously promoted by Mercedes-Benz and BMW before.

But in fact, this point of view is actually wrong, there is a certain difference between the mild hybrid system and the automatic start-stop system, although the difference is not very big, but for Jin Xiaoqiang, this set of mild hybrid system as a test product for people to initially accept hybrid models, or has considerable advantages over the automatic start-stop system.

Last year, he developed an automatic start-stop system, and installed this system on their mid-to-high-end model Qoros series, and won considerable praise among consumers.

After all, in the stop-and-go congested urban road section, having a set of such a system of models can still ensure the reduction of fuel consumption, because we all know that in the crowded urban road section, especially in the case of stop-and-go, in fact, the large displacement model is very fuel-intensive.

In the past year or two, domestic oil prices have continued to rise, and there is no downward trend at all, even the richest people will feel quite a headache for such an endless rise in oil prices.

The main sales concept of Qoros is to ensure that the car is more fuel-efficient while having more powerful power, which is gradually gaining traction.

As far as the current overall fuel-saving situation of mid-level cars is concerned, Japanese cars are undoubtedly the best in fuel-saving products, but now Huayang Power has a tendency to catch up.

Moreover, Japanese cars are not equipped with turbochargers, nor do they have in-cylinder direct injection technology, relying on variable valve timing technology that has been bought for decades, which is really a bit outdated.

Although they have always cut corners on the weight of the body and relied on reducing the weight of the body to achieve the purpose of saving fuel, the most direct consequence of reducing the weight of the body is that the safety performance of the car is plummeting.

And Huayang Power has really found a new way in this regard, they are the same as the Germans, while not reducing the weight of the body as much as possible. Instead, they made a big fuss about the engine, adding a variety of technologies to the car's engine, such as the ECOBOOST engine that integrates turbocharging, in-cylinder direct injection technology, and variable valve timing technology in their Qoros series. The reason why it was selected as one of Ward's top ten engines for two consecutive years and won the title of best is that it has a high peak power and torque output, as well as a low fuel consumption of 100 kilometers.

On the Autohome website, some netizens have done actual tests, that is, Toyota's 2.4L Camry and Qoros 6's 2.4L are both inline 4-cylinder models for comparison.

It is the same 100 kilometers down, and the same route is taken, including the congested sections of the city and the end of the ring highway outside the city. The results of such comparisons are astonishing.

Although Toyota Camry is known as fuel-efficient, the comprehensive fuel consumption of this 100 kilometers is as high as 12-13L, and the Qoros 6 only has a fuel consumption of about 10L after such a journey.

You must know that the Qoros 6 looks smaller than the Camry, but the weight is one or two hundred kilograms higher than this mid-level car, which is not to compare the Qoros 8 with the Camry.

The comparison between Qoros and Audi is even more obvious, and it is obvious that in terms of fuel economy, Qoros is better than almost all competitors of the same level on the market.

This is only in terms of fuel savings, but also in terms of power and torque. Not to mention, the models of Qoros are obviously more than a step higher than Camry and Audi.

After that, the editor of Autohome's website gave a special explanation for this situation. After some investigation of various technologies, it was concluded that the reason why Qoros performed so well in terms of energy saving and power was entirely due to their leading engine technology, such as turbocharging, such as in-cylinder direct injection, and variable valve timing technology. …,

However, some people have suggested that Audi has almost all such technologies, but why is Qoros still better than Audi in terms of energy saving?

In the end, the editors of Autohome came to the conclusion after several researches, that is, Qoros is now almost all standard car start-stop systems. This system is not currently available on Audi.

This shows the importance of this small set of automatic start-stop system, when the car walks in the congested city and encounters a red light, the average car will not care about the waiting time of a few seconds, let the engine idle running, but the automatic start-stop system of Huayang Power can automatically shut down the engine, so that the engine is in a dormant state. When the red light turns green, the system will automatically start the car according to the driver's intention, so as to prevent the engine from idling while waiting for the red light, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving.

According to the calculations of the editors of the Autohome website, with the help of such an automatic start-stop system, Qoros will save at least 5 to 10 percent more fuel than its competitors in the same class in terms of fuel saving.

When the results were announced, it immediately caused an uproar among the majority of fans, and then the sales of Qoros series were even more exciting.

The automatic start-stop system has also become synonymous with advanced technology in the hearts of fans, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, this set of technology is still not perfect, especially compared with the later mild hybrid system.

As the name suggests, the mild hybrid system is a mild hybrid system, which is not the same as the medium hybrid system and heavy hybrid system of later generations, and his power is not enough to directly drive the whole car, and can only give the car some help when speeding up.

And compared with the automatic start-stop system, he still has certain benefits, that is, the automatic start-stop system, because when the car is waiting for the traffic light, this system will automatically turn off the car's engine, which will lead to the interruption of the power supply inside the car, so that the car's audio system, or TV system, and air conditioning system will all be turned off.

If it is in the summer, such an action will undoubtedly make the driver feel more guilty, but the mild hybrid system will not be like this, he will stop the engine when the car is waiting for the traffic light, but will not cut off the power supply of the car, so that the driver can continue to sell the sound surround while waiting for the car to turn off, and the atmosphere full of air conditioning.

And we all know that driving in summer is very fuel-intensive, because the air conditioner is turned on, if the refrigeration and air conditioning are started, then after 100 kilometers, the fuel consumption of the car is destined to be one to two liters higher than usual, and there is often a lack of power.

However, if it is a model with a mild hybrid system, such a situation will not occur at all, because at this time, the refrigeration power of the air conditioner will be completely provided by this mild hybrid system, which will not affect the power output of the car at all, and will not waste too much fuel.

The most critical difference is that the electronic system of the automatic start-stop system will not be of much help in the power output of the car, while the model of the mild hybrid system will work together with the engine when the car has the need to speed up, and his electric motor can at least provide the car with a power output of about 20 horsepower, as well as a torque increase of about 65 Nm, which can be said to be crucial to the impact of the car's performance.

In later generations, this system was first installed on their ART models by Mercedes-Benz, and later GM installed this system on their new generation LaCrosse, and from the data point of view, the LaCrosse models equipped with this system have excellent performance in fuel economy and power performance, which is much better than the original old model. …,

In the end, BMW saw that this system was also good, and also drummed up a set, and assembled this system on their new 7 Series, and then Audi and other well-known brands also started to install mild hybrid systems on their luxury high-end cars.

Because according to the car culture of Europe and the United States, in their opinion, electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles generally cannot be regarded as pure cars, so they dare not rashly assemble the hybrid or heavy hybrid power system to the luxury high-end car, because in case consumers do not admit it, it is likely to make them smash their own signboards, so they can only use this mild hybrid system to test the waters.

And the most critical point is that compared with the mild hybrid system and the medium hybrid and heavy hybrid systems, the production cost of this system is very low, and there is no need to make too many changes to the body, but the effect of fuel saving and power improvement that he can bring cannot be ignored, which is also the main reason why the mild hybrid system became popular in Europe and the United States later.

Now Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't want this set of advanced technology that can only be enjoyed by rich people or Europeans and Americans in the future life, and can only be enjoyed by European and American guys first, just like in the previous life.

Now, in order to further popularize and promote the concept of hybrid vehicles, Jin Xiaoqiang plans to take out this mild hybrid system first and assemble it on some models of Huayang Power, preparing to launch such a model next year, so that they can test the water first.

Such a mild hybrid system may be very difficult for others, but for Jin Xiaoqiang, there is no secret at all, and the most critical core technology is to create a new battery with greater power and higher efficiency.

Originally, the start and stop system of the car used only a 36V nickel-metal hydride battery, but now it seems that a 115V lithium battery has been made on Binxinwei...... (To be continued.)
