What are the differences between BYD Tang DMP and DMI?
1 Answers
The main differences between BYD Tang DMP and DMI are as follows: 1. Different advantages: DM-i has multiple advantages that lead other hybrid technologies, and its "core concept" is to prioritize electricity and use fuel as a supplement. In terms of architecture, the DM-i super hybrid is based on a large-capacity battery and high-power motor, and the vehicle relies on the high-power motor for driving during operation. 2. Different core technical components: The core component of BYD's DM-i super hybrid technology is the newly developed Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid dedicated engine by BYD, which has two different versions—the 1.5L engine is mainly used for Qin PLUS and Song PLUS, while the 1.5T turbocharged engine is used for the larger Tang DM-i model. 3. Different driving modes: When the DM-i model has sufficient battery power, it is equivalent to a pure electric vehicle, with the motor providing enough power for driving under various road conditions. When the battery power is insufficient, the DM-i model will autonomously decide whether to use electricity or fuel, or a combination of both, based on the system's working conditions. According to the data released by BYD, under urban driving conditions, the vehicle uses the motor for driving 99% of the time, providing a driving experience infinitely close to that of a pure electric vehicle; meanwhile, the engine is in a shutdown state for 81% of the working conditions. During high-speed driving, both the engine and motor provide power to the wheels, with the engine always operating within the efficient range.
