BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology represents a significant leap forward in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Exclusively developed by BYD, it delivers numerous advantages, including improved energy efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, enhanced driving performance, and exceptional comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology stands out from other PHEV systems with its electric-focused hybrid architecture. At its heart, this design relies primarily on a high-power motor and a large-capacity battery, using the engine only as supplementary support. This innovative system prioritises efficiency and effortlessly adapts to a range of driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle runs entirely on electric power. As the charge depletes, it seamlessly transitions to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric energy while minimising fuel use. This approach not only improves environmental sustainability but also enhances energy efficiency, reducing fuel consumption. It guarantees a quiet, 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, featuring high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology, all designed to optimise motor power density and efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS is fitted with robust high-speed dual motors, capable of reaching up to 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, ensuring outstanding performance across a variety of driving conditions.

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

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

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

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology incorporates a customised version of the renowned Blade Battery. These specialised Blade Batteries, designed for the hybrid platform, start at 18.3 kWh, offering a pure electric range of up to 43 miles. Key benefits include:

Enhanced Safety
The Blade Battery has passed the rigorous Nail Penetration Test without igniting or emitting smoke, ensuring top-tier safety.

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

Extended Range
By optimising space utilisation by 50% compared to traditional battery packs, the Blade Battery increases energy density and extends the vehicle's range.

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