BYD dmi has a transmission. Here is some information about BYD: 1. BYD Company Limited, headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, is a high-tech private enterprise with three major industrial groups: IT, automobiles, and new energy. 2. BYD has established nine production bases in Guangdong, Beijing, Shaanxi, Shanghai, Tianjin, and other locations, covering a total area of nearly 7 million square meters. The company also has subsidiaries or offices in the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, as well as in Taiwan and Hong Kong regions of China, with a total workforce of nearly 200,000 employees.
BYD's DM-i hybrid system indeed does not have a traditional transmission in the conventional sense—it's not that complex multi-speed gear-shifting mechanical structure. As an enthusiast with some research into vehicle technology, I can explain: this system primarily relies on the electric motor to drive the wheels, with the engine generating electricity or directly driving under specific conditions, achieving continuously variable transmission through the electronic control unit, resulting in an exceptionally smooth driving experience. The core lies in the adoption of the EHS (Electric Hybrid System), where the engine only intervenes during high-speed or high-load conditions, with the electric motor taking the lead most of the time. This eliminates the need for mechanical shifting components, also reducing fuel consumption and maintenance hassles. Compared to the common jerking issues in fuel vehicle transmissions, the DM-i offers a driving experience closer to that of a pure electric vehicle—quiet and efficient. If you've used such a hybrid car, you'll notice no stuttering from start to acceleration, along with higher reliability, making it ideal for daily commutes and eco-friendly travel. This design also contributes to a lighter overall structure, enhancing fuel economy, truly reflecting the advancement in hybrid technology.
