Changan Automobile's Yidong PHEV will be mass-produced by the end of next year

Recently, Ren Yong, secretary of the party committee and general manager of Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Co.
, Ltd.
, said that Yidong PHEV will be mass-produced
by the end of next year.
In the future, new energy vehicles will be launched
one after another based on two platforms.

Changan's first new energy model, the Yidong EV, is built on a pure electric platform with a cruising range of 200 km
.
Another important component of the "518" strategy, plug-in hybrid platforms, Changan also has plans
.
The two major platforms of pure electric and plug-in hybrid have covered the current mainstream drive mode of new energy, pure electric models are known for zero fuel consumption, and the cruising range of plug-in hybrid models can be guaranteed, and the two complement each other, and the future Changan new energy product line will give consumers more choices
.

At present, the new energy vehicles sold in China are mainly divided into pure electric (EV), range extender electric (EREV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and hybrid (HEV).

Among them, pure electric vehicles have the characteristics of zero fuel consumption, but there is not much breakthrough in cruising range, which has become a constraint
to development.
Normal hybrid models are driven by a combination of gasoline and electricity, but due to the small battery capacity, they cannot drive
long distances in pure electric mode.
Plug-in hybrid combines the advantages of both, the battery is relatively large, can be charged externally, can be driven in pure electric mode, and then drive in hybrid mode (mainly internal combustion engine) after the battery is exhausted, and charge the battery at the right time
.
At the end of next year, the Yidong plug-in hybrid version will be mass-produced, filling Chang'an new energy product line
