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 a host of benefits, including improved energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption, enhanced driving performance, and exceptional comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology distinguishes itself from other PHEV technologies with its electric-driven hybrid system at its core. This innovative architecture relies predominantly on a high-power motor and a large-capacity battery, with the engine serving as supplementary support. Designed for efficiency, the system adapts seamlessly to a wide range of driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle operates purely on electricity. As the battery charge depletes, it switches to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric power while minimising fuel use. This environmentally friendly approach enhances energy efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures a quiet, comfortable ride without compromising on power or 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) integrates a high-performance powertrain that combines dual high-speed motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology to optimise motor power density and improve overall efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS features powerful high-speed dual motors, reaching up to 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, ensuring exceptional performance across diverse driving conditions.

Hairpin Motor Technology
Leveraging cutting-edge hairpin technology, the EHS improves heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% for most of the time.

Oil Cooling Technology
With integrated oil cooling technology that directly targets the heat source, the system enhances heat dissipation and boosts motor power density to an impressive 5.5 kW/kg.

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
The IGBT significantly improves the overall electronic control efficiency, reaching an impressive 98.9%.

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid engine

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology features a customised version of the renowned Blade Battery, specifically designed for the hybrid platform. With power capacities starting at 18.3 kWh, these specialised Blade Batteries offer a pure electric range of up to 43 miles. Key benefits include:

Enhanced Safety
The Blade Battery has passed the rigorous Nail Penetration Test, ensuring it remains safe without igniting or emitting smoke.

Optimised Strength
Each cell is arranged in a single pack that serves as a structural beam, providing superior resistance to force. The aluminium honeycomb-like structure, reinforced by high-strength panels at both the top and bottom, significantly enhances vertical rigidity.

Longer Range
By utilising 50% more space than traditional battery packs, the Blade Battery improves energy density, resulting in an extended driving range.

Longer Lifecycle
The Blade Battery offers an impressive lifespan of over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles, ensuring durability and long-term performance.
