BYD officially unveils "the birthplace of the world's first plug-in hybrid vehicle"
On May 24, the unveiling ceremony of "The Birthplace of the World's First Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle" was officially held in BYD Xi'an High-tech Industrial Park. As the pioneer and practitioner of domestic plug-in hybrid technology, BYD's first plug-in hybrid vehicle was officially mass-produced in Xi'an in 2008, so Xi'an's high-tech industrial park is very important to BYD production base.
The "Birthplace of the World's First Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle" commemorative plaque overall shows the shape of the number "1", which not only shows that this is the place where the first BYD plug-in hybrid model was born, but also reflects BYD's research and development efforts. , production and sales, we are striving to become the leader in the industry, dedicating more and better technologies to consumers, and establishing BYD's automotive circle in the global field.
As early as December 2008, the world's first plug-in hybrid vehicle, BYD F3DM, was mass-produced in Xi'an BYD High-tech Industrial Park. The DM (Dual Mode) dual-mode technology equipped on this model officially pioneered the electric-based hybrid technology route for automobiles, and launched and realized the driving mode of "short-distance electricity use and long-distance oil use". Such an innovative concept may have been criticized at the time, but now it seems that BYD's idea is definitely advanced and leading. This is not only a breakthrough in technical barriers, but also breaks the restrictions on professional charging stations, allowing fuel and pure The integration of electricity and electricity brings consumers more and more interesting driving experience and power performance.
Looking back at BYD's development history, it is not difficult to see that as the world's first company to develop plug-in hybrid technology, BYD entered the automotive industry in 2003 and was the first to realize that diversified power combinations would promote the rapid development of the entire automotive industry. , so we started the research and development of hybrid models.
After four generations of technological refinement and innovation, BYD has also relied on the stability and superiority of its products to establish the mainstream status of plug-in hybrid technology in the field of hybrid power. Whether it is the domestic market or the international market, as long as When it comes to hybrid technology, BYD is bound to be seen.
It is precisely because of such technology and products that BYD's plug-in hybrid model sales increased 30 times in just three years from 2020 to 2023, from 48,000 vehicles in 2020 to 1.43 million vehicles in 2023. Today, BYD's plug-in hybrid models rank first in the world in sales, and its share in China has reached 50%. This means that for every two plug-in hybrid cars sold in the Chinese market, one is BYD.
Although BYD has achieved such impressive results, the research and development of new technologies has not stopped at all. At this unveiling ceremony, BYD also indirectly revealed some news. On May 28, BYD’s fifth-generation DM The technology will be released in Xi'an. This technology will once again set a new record for low fuel consumption. At the same time, the power and performance of the vehicle will also be further improved, which will once again subvert consumers' perception of traditional fuel vehicles.
At present, the fifth generation DM technology is still in the confidentiality stage. We are also very much looking forward to the official release of this technology, so as to bring more good products to consumers. Let us look forward to the new technology launch conference in Xi'an on May 28. Bar.
