What does dm-i mean?
1 Answers
BYD's dm-i refers to the dm-i super hybrid system, which is based on a high-capacity battery and a high-power motor. The vehicle relies on the high-power motor for driving during operation. Here is some extended information about DM-i: 1. Dual-platform policy: In April of last year, BYD officially announced that its DM models would adopt a dual-platform strategy of DM-p and DM-i, where 'p' stands for powerful, meaning strong power, and 'i' stands for intelligent, referring to smart, energy-saving, and efficient. One focuses on performance, while the other focuses on energy-saving and fuel efficiency. 2. Function: The main function of the gasoline engine is to charge the battery. It only directly drives the vehicle when more power is needed, and even then, it works in coordination with the motor to reduce the load. This hybrid technology is different from traditional hybrid technologies that rely on the engine, thus being more effective in reducing fuel consumption. 3. First model: The Song PLUS-DM-i is one of the first DM-i models released by BYD. It can perfectly balance power and fuel economy, making it more suitable for the current purchasing needs of most consumers.
