The Geely Auto Group has just announced that it has begun the mass production of its latest vehicle. The model in question is the world’s first 3 gear hybrid electric drive DHT Pro that started rolling out from the DHT Pro Micron Factory at the end of last month.
As per the official announcement, the new hybrid model features the Raytheon Zhiqing Hi-X 3-gear hybrid electric drive DHT Pro and DHE15. This is a hybrid engine and is claimed to offer the highest thermal efficiency in the world. The model’s name is the Xingyue-L Raytheon Hi-X oil-electric hybrid version, which can go from 0 to 100km/h in just 7.9 seconds and has a maximum cruise range of a whopping 1,300 kilometers.
Furthermore, the average fuel consumption of this hybrid car is just 4.3 liters per an impressive 100 kilometers. This model is equipped with the DHE15 hybrid special engine that offers a thermal efficiency of 43.32 percent along with a maximum power output of 110kW and a maximum torque of 225 N/m. According to Geely, when the vehicle is running at a speed below 20km/h, the car will automatically switch to a pure electric driving mode to prevent the vehicle’s engines from running in inefficient areas.
In other words, it can also smartly help reduce fuel consumption. On the other hand, when the vehicle hits speeds between 20km/h and 70km/h, the third gear electric drive transmission DHT Pro kicks in with both electric and oil driving. It even offers intelligent energy distribution as well. Lastly, when the vehicle crosses speeds of more than 80km/h, the DHT Pro’s increase gear speed change and torque increases enable the car to generate torque of 4920 N/m rapidly.
