Everything is developing in a better direction.
A few days ago, Geely Automobile announced the sales of new energy vehicles in November, with 65,034 new cars sold in the month, an increase of about 5% month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of about 88%, hitting a new high for four consecutive monthsFrom January to October, Geely's cumulative sales of new energy vehicles exceeded 420,000 units, a year-on-year increase of more than 50%.
Behind this achievement, it is not only due to Geely Automobile's deep accumulation and innovation ability in the field of new energy vehicles, but also inseparable from the growth of market demand for new energy vehicles.
More importantly, Geely Automobile is well aware of what kind of new energy products Chinese consumers need more.
What kind of hybrid vehicles are more competitive for today's consumers?
That is naturally to solve the user's car concerns, including but not limited to charging anxiety, range anxiety, fuel consumption anxiety, etc. Only in this way can we meet the diverse needs of current users and the most suitable way to travel.
From a technical point of view, China Star Intelligent Shuangqing adopts diesel-electric hybrid technology, which is a subversive innovation of traditional fuel vehicle technology.
Among them, 15TD four-cylinder hybrid engine with a thermal efficiency of up to 4426%, maximum power 120kW, peak torque 255Nm. Thanks to the blessing of 350bar direct injection technology, the fuel particles are as small as about 1 8 hair, the injection is more uniform, the combustion effect is more sufficient, and the fuel efficiency is improved while effectively reducing fuel consumption. Coupled with the use of technologies and configurations such as Alos combustion and intelligently controlled electronic water pumps, the vehicle is more powerful and consumes less fuel while driving.
At the transmission level, the new car is matched with a 3-speed DHT intelligent inverter electric drive, which has the advantage of being able to achieve parallel output power in the full speed range. Its transmission efficiency is as high as 975%, which is equivalent to a 10AT gearbox for fuel vehicles. Through actual experience, driven by P1+P2 dual motors, it is more fuel-efficient in the face of congested road sections, and has a top speed of 200km h in the same class.
It is worth mentioning that the X·System intelligent control system equipped on the Galaxy L7 is also reflected in the new car. The system can not only intelligently diagnose the safety risks of the power system, but also identify the potential failure risksMoreover, it can manage multiple aspects of the vehicle's power, power, energy and driving. It can realize intelligent control combined with "user Xi and travel path", so as to match the most suitable power output and energy ** logic, and the energy saving rate can be increased by up to 15%, which is one of the important reasons why Geely new energy vehicles have ultra-low energy consumption far beyond the same level.
As Geely's "smart boutique car", Xingrui L Zhiqing and Xingyue L Zhiqing two intelligent "double stars" both use LCD instrument + central control LCD screen + AR-HUD head-up display of the industry's high-end. Among them, Xingyue L Zhiqing is also equipped with a touch high-definition co-pilot exclusive screen, which further enriches the entertainment life in the car.
At the same time, both new models are equipped with Geely's new generation Galaxy OS 20 system, and built-in industry-leading Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, providing driving information, real-time maps, audio-visual entertainment voice interconnection, scene customization and other functions. In addition, users can also customize the functions of the car machine according to their own usage Xi habits and aesthetic tastes according to their own usage habits and aesthetic tastes, and create a highly personalized car machine.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with L2 intelligent driving assistance system, 540° transparent chassis and other rich technological configurations, as well as intelligent car advanced fragrance system, 12-speaker Harman Infinity audio system (including headrests, audio, color, ambient lighting, etc., all available, comprehensively improving the luxury technology and comfort of the vehicle.
In terms of safety, the two new cars have brought more surprises to consumers.
For example, China Star Intelligent Shuangqing is equipped with 18 advanced ADAS active safety functions such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Blind Spot Detection. In particular, the AEB-P active emergency braking system with pedestrian recognition is able to calmly deal with "ghost probes".
When the speed is less than 30 km/h, the system can detect pedestrians at least 80 cm in front of the vehicle, whether standing or moving, it can identify and quickly brake, further escorting the driver.
In terms of passive safety, the new car uses 1600MPa ultra-high-strength hot-stamping steel plate. Among them, the use of advanced high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels such as deep-drawn steel, duplex steel, and low-carbon alloy steel greatly improves the strength of the body while reducing the weight of the body.
The launch of Geely China Star Smart Twin Engine is another important milestone in the development of the Geely brand in the field of new energy vehicles. It not only proves that Geely's technical level in the field of hybrid is second to none, but also demonstrates the strength of the Geely brand to enter the world's top ranks.
In 2023, Geely's sales of new energy vehicles have achieved significant growth, reaching a new height.
At that time, Gui Shengyue, chief executive officer and executive director of Geely Automobile Holdings, once said that with the launch of Geely Galaxy products, all brands under Geely Automobile have sounded the clarion call for comprehensive transformation to new energy.
Although Gui Shengyue's words did not attract widespread attention in the industry at that time, with the gradual deepening of the "comprehensive to new" strategy, Geely Automobile has now fully completed the basic investment and ecological construction of the transformation to new energy, and its products have also completed the process of intelligent transformation.
We see that in addition to the Geely Galaxy series, the Zeekr brand, which is positioned as a luxury intelligent pure electric brand, has won high praise for its excellent performance and intelligent driving experience. ZEEKR 001 has become the world's fastest luxury car to deliver more than 100,000 units with its outstanding product strengthAfter the flagship model ZEEKR 009 was launched, it became the sales champion of all luxury MPVs of more than 500,000 yuan in one fell swoop.
In addition, Geely, Volvo, etc., these brands have different technical advantages and characteristics, which provide strong support for the development of Geely Automobile in the field of new energy.
R&D strength is also a point that cannot be ignored.
Geely has always adhered to the two-legged path of fuel + new energy, not only laying out multiple technology paths such as fuel, plug-in hybrid, oil hybrid, and pure electric, but also has a deep technical background and accumulated reserves, and has the world's leading software and hardware self-development, manufacturing capabilities, architecture technology and technology ecology.
In the first half of 2023 alone, Geely Automobile's R&D investment has exceeded 59100 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 628%。For example, its self-developed "Thor Hybrid" technology has high market competitiveness. The application of this technology not only improves the fuel economy of the vehicle, but also reduces emissions, which is in line with the current social development trend of environmental protection and energy saving.
From ZEEKR to Geely Galaxy to Lynk & Co, Geely Automobile has proved its transformation strength with one "hot" model after another. The launch of these models one by one means that Geely will be able to achieve the effect of 1+1>2 as long as it moves forward one by one according to the current established plan.
The official launch of the China Star Intelligent Shuangqing, the new car will further enrich Geely Automobile's product line, and 12The starting price of 670,000 yuan will further meet the diversified needs of consumers.
With the increasing awareness of consumers for environmental protection and energy saving, the market demand for intelligent hybrid models is also gradually increasing. At the same time, the Geely China Star Intelligent Dual Engine System equipped with the two new cars will promote Geely's innovation and development in the field of green technology, demonstrating Geely Automobile's strength and achievements in technological innovation.
China Star has been launched for more than two years and has firmly ranked first in the high-end fuel camp with a sales performance of more than 840,000. Combined with Geely's strong strength in building million-level products, along with the launch of China's Xingzhiqing dual flagships, it will rapidly promote Geely's innovation and development in the field of green technology, demonstrating Geely's strength and achievements in scientific and technological innovation.
At the same time, China Star is expected to become the fastest independent high-end brand to hit the million club, further consolidating Geely Automobile's position as "No. 1 independent fuel".
