BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology marks a groundbreaking 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 superior comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology sets itself apart from other PHEV technologies with its electric-based hybrid system at its core. This hybrid architecture relies primarily on a high-power motor drive and a large-capacity battery, using the engine only as supplementary support. This innovative system prioritises efficiency and seamlessly adapts to various driving scenarios.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle operates as a pure electric model. When the state of charge is low, it switches to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric power with minimal fuel reliance. This approach is more environmentally friendly, providing greater energy efficiency and reduced fuel consumption. It ensures a quiet, 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 3 core components:

Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

The Electric Hybrid System (EHS) features a highly integrated powertrain that combines high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology to enhance motor power density and efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS employs powerful high-speed dual motors with a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, delivering exceptional performance across various driving conditions.

Hairpin Motor Technology
By utilising innovative hairpin technology, the EHS significantly improves heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% for the majority of the time.

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

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
The IGBT elevates the overall electronic control efficiency to an impressive 98.9%.

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology features a customised version of the highly acclaimed Blade Battery. These specialised Blade Batteries for the hybrid platform offer power capacities starting at 18.3 kWh, delivering 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 as a structural beam, providing resistance against force. The aluminium honeycomb-like structure, reinforced by high-strength panels on the top and bottom, enhances vertical rigidity.

Longer Range
Compared to traditional battery packs, the Blade Battery increases space utilisation by 50%, resulting in improved energy density and extended range.

Longer Lifecycle
The Blade Battery boasts a lifespan of over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles.
