The world’s first “four-in-one” integrated electric drive, China’s cars stepping into the era of two-second acceleration
In the era of traditional fuel cars, the core power technology of automobiles was monopolized by foreign companies, and Chinese brands could only keep chasing and never surpassing them. However, in the field of pure electric technology, Chinese automobile companies and international companies are on the same starting line, and some technologies have achieved global leadership.
GAC New Energy insists on user-centricity, creating world-class products and services, and bringing “cutting-edge technological enjoyment” to users.In the development and application of electric power system, dedicated to promoting system integration, achieving product iteration in smaller and lighter form factors. From the relatively independent electric motor, electronic control, and differential, to the highly integrated “three-in-one” electric drive system, the world’s first high-performance electric drive was created, which assisted the Aiways LX in achieving a supercar experience of 3.9 seconds for 100 km acceleration, making it the fastest car in China and one of the top five SUVs in the world.
“The Fastest Car in China” Aiways LX
At this year’s Beijing Auto Show, GAC New Energy has once again made a breakthrough in the field of electric power system. The main achievement is the global-first performance-oriented two-gear dual-motor “four-in-one” integrated electric drive, which realizes deep integration of dual motors, controllers, and two-speed reducers. This technology has more than 70 patents, including 29 invention patents, bringing 340 KW of powerful power, a comprehensive driving efficiency of 90%, 13% power improvement, 30% smaller volume, and 25% lighter weight.
