Geely Emgrand’s hybrid version of alcohol and electricity is officially launched, with a price of 129,800, and only 0.3 yuan is needed per kilometer.

China’s energy resources structure is characterized by lack of oil, gas and coal. In 2020, China’s foreign dependence on crude oil will reach 73%, and that on natural gas will reach 43%. Therefore, this has also prompted methanol fuel to get enough attention and further reduce its dependence on oil and natural gas. At the same time, it has promoted the development of methanol vehicles in China to a certain extent. The most common methanol vehicles appear in taxis and heavy trucks.

In the field of passenger cars, the development of methanol vehicles has begun to take shape, and automobiles are one of the few companies with experience in methanol vehicle research and development in China.

On June 22nd, the world’s first hybrid car-Emgrand hybrid car was officially launched, with a price of 129,800 yuan. Based on the 4th generation Emgrand, this new car is equipped with an alcohol-electric hybrid engine and consumes 9.2L alcohol per 100 kilometers. It is worth mentioning that the official said that its use cost per kilometer only costs about 3 cents. In the face of the current "ultra-high" oil price, methanol cars can be called a small expert in saving money.

Since it is the world’s first hybrid car, I believe that Emgrand hybrid car must have advanced technology in the power level. Emgrand hybrid version is equipped with a new generation of 1.8L hybrid engine with a maximum power of 132 HP and a thermal efficiency of 41.5%. The world-class hybrid electric drive transmission is adopted, and the transmission efficiency is as high as 97.5%, so the alcohol consumption per 100 kilometers of this car is as low as 9.2L, and the travel cost per kilometer can be less than that of 0.3 yuan.

As for the battery, the car uses a 1.83kWh ternary lithium battery, which innovatively adopts three-sided luxury liquid cooling technology with a peak power of 65kW.

At the same time, methanol vehicles also have the advantages of economy and environmental protection. It is reported that the pollutants of Emgrand’s hybrid version of alcohol and electricity are only 5% of that of fuel vehicles, and its carbon emissions are only 3% of that of fuel vehicles. In addition, the Emgrand hybrid version also overcomes the problem of shrinking battery life of pure electric vehicles in winter, and the battery life in winter can reach twice that of pure electric vehicles.

In fact, as early as 2005, Automobiles started the research and development of methanol vehicles. So far, Automobiles have been deeply involved in this field for 17 years, with a total R&D investment of over 3 billion yuan. At present, the automobile has successfully developed a variety of methanol-powered and methanol vehicles, obtained more than 200 technical patents, and put a total of 27,000 methanol vehicles on the market, with a total mileage of over 8 billion kilometers.

At present, the automobile has completed diversified layout in the new energy market, and made efforts in hybrid, pure electricity, power exchange and methanol multi-track. A number of products equipped with Raytheon Power have entered the hybrid market; Geometric brand and krypton brand have a good performance in mainstream and high-end pure electricity market; In this year, a brand-new "brand for changing electricity"-Ruilan Automobile was launched, which officially opened the market for changing electricity; It is worth mentioning that it has been specially researched in the field of methanol vehicles for 17 years, and now the Emgrand hybrid version of alcohol and electricity has also been officially introduced to the market. The layout of multiple tracks is believed to further help the development of automobiles in the new energy market.
