Changan Automobile released its new energy and electrification solution: Changan Yuanli Technology

Today, Changan Automobile Chairman Zhu Huarong released Changan’s new energy and electrification solution: Changan Yuanli Technology, which mainly includes Yuanli Intelligent Range Extender and Yuanli Super Series Hybrid Drive.

Changan Automobile introduced that the reason why it is named “Yuanli” is that it represents natural power and symbolizes the infinite universe and unlimited boundaries. With endless technological innovation and technological advancement, it breaks the boundaries that limits the development of the new energy automobile industry.

“Yuanli” is not a single technology, but a series of technologies including Yuanli Intelligent Range Extender and Yuanli Super Series Hybrid Drive. In terms of specific research and development, Yuanli includes more than 181 patents, achieving 95% of the industry’s highest efficiency electric drive assembly, 1,200 km of comprehensive endurance, and sub-zero 30-degree micro-nucleus high-frequency pulse heating technology, etc.

Among them, Yuanli Intelligent Range Extender is Changan’s independent sedan range extender system. The official promotion claims that it can generate 3.3 degrees of electricity per liter of petrol in the CLTC working condition, with a pure electric mileage of 200 km. The comprehensive endurance mileage in range extension mode reaches 1,200 km; and in the feeding state, the fuel consumption is as low as 4.5 L/100 km.

The efficiency of the Yuanli Super Series Hybrid Drive can reach as high as 95%. It includes highly integrated motors, motor controllers, reducers, chargers, etc. Compared with the “three in one” electric drive system, its weight is reduced by 10%, volume is reduced by 5%, efficiency is improved by 4.9%, and power density is increased by 37%, improving the driving experience.

At the same time, it also adopts the industry’s first pulse heating technology. In an extreme environment of -30℃, the battery temperature can be raised by up to 4℃ per minute, improving the vehicle’s power by 50%, shortening the charging time by 15%, and improving the difficulties of using electric cars in winter.

In the era of flourishing new energy technologies, with the release of Changan ORA technology, Changan Automobile now has formed five major technology routes of fuel, hybrid, extended range, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel.

Compared to the current Blue Whale Power, ORA places more emphasis on extended range and pure electric vehicle models, while Blue Whale Power tends towards HEV and PHEV. According to the plan, the first new energy vehicle model equipped with ORA intelligent extended range and ORA Super-set Electric Drive is Changan Shenlan SL03, and the second SUV product of Shenlan also adopts ORA technology and is expected to be launched next year.
