Changan Automobile launches a new generation of super electric drive, leading the innovation of new energy technology

On August 24, 2021, Changan Automobile held its first "Open, Win-Win, Integrated and Innovative" Technology Ecosystem Conference. The conference released a new strategy of "New Automobile, New Ecosystem", which fully presented Changan Automobile's future development blueprint and its determination to transform and develop high-quality. It also showed a number of heavyweight "black technology" achievements with a focus on "new generation super electric drive". Changan Automobile's first strategic model C385 in the electric vehicle field also made a stunning appearance. The event also witnessed the world's first -30℃ high-frequency pulse heating challenge and success.

A new generation of super electric drive, redefining new energy efficiency

The current automobile industry is undergoing a major change that has not been seen in a century, and the "dual carbon" strategy is accelerating the transformation of the automobile industry to new energy. Changan Automobile takes the initiative to lead the development of the new energy automobile industry, and is committed to becoming a "leader in the era of popularization of digital electric vehicles", promoting industrial development with technological innovation, and constantly pursuing higher efficiency evolution.

Looking at the technologies that have had a significant impact on human history, they all pursue the deep integration and integration of functions, performance, and structure. From three-in-one to seven-in-one, Changan Automobile continues to innovate on the route of deep integration and constantly explores the limits of technology. Through the deep integration of new materials, new processes, artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, Changan's new generation of super-collective electric drive integrates multiple functions into one, creating an ultra-high efficiency electric drive system, which represents the development trend of technological integration.

Changan's new generation of super-collective electric drive has two major features: "deep integration" and "ultra-high efficiency", and has achieved two major technical breakthroughs: "industry's ultra-high electric drive assembly efficiency" and "the world's first electric drive high-frequency pulse heating technology". In terms of improving industrial efficiency, Changan's new generation of super-collective electric drive has innovated the power system design. Through two electric drive combinations and super materials, it has developed two series of products, 450V and 800V, which can cover the ultra-wide voltage range of 240V-800V, and can meet the ultra-wide mileage requirements of 400-1000km at most, greatly reducing the specifications of battery cells, and enabling the efficient and healthy development of the new energy industry.

In terms of optimizing product efficiency, Changan's new generation of super electric drive has reduced mechanical and electromagnetic losses to the greatest extent through a number of advanced technologies and independently developed efficient control software, with overall losses reduced by about 1/3, the maximum efficiency of the electric drive system exceeding 95%, and the average efficiency under working conditions exceeding 90%. It can also reduce carbon emissions by about 2 tons over the entire life cycle of a single vehicle over 10 years and 300,000 kilometers.

In terms of improving user efficiency, Changan's new generation of super electric drive uses the world's first electric drive high-frequency pulse heating technology to achieve extremely fast heating of lithium batteries at ultra-low temperatures. It can heat 20°C in 5 minutes at -30°C, quickly improving battery charging and discharging efficiency and charging and discharging performance. At the same time, with the help of electric drive waste heat recovery technology, the low-temperature range in winter can be effectively increased by 40-70km.

In order to verify the improvement in battery heating efficiency brought about by Super Electric Drive's high-frequency pulse heating technology under low temperature conditions, the event was connected to the Extreme Cold Laboratory of Changan Automobile's Global R&D Center, and conducted the world's first -30℃ high-frequency pulse heating challenge. In the extremely cold environment, the battery was successfully heated from -30°C to above -10°C in 5 minutes.

The first strategic model was unveiled, with stunning design that raised expectations

In addition to leading the technological route of industry innovation, Changan Automobile has also continued to exert its strength and innovate in vehicle manufacturing. As the latest achievement of the steady progress of the "Shangri-La" plan, the first strategic model C385 of Changan Automobile's new dedicated electric platform also made its debut at the Technology Ecology Conference, attracting a lot of attention with its multi-dimensionally evolved appearance, technology, and services.

Changan C385 integrates Changan Automobile's many years of car manufacturing experience and technology accumulation, and realizes the multi-dimensional evolution of automobile value. In terms of appearance, Changan C385 adopts the fastback shape that young people like nowadays, integrates a lot of technology and sports design elements, and cooperates with hidden door handles that have both a sense of technology and luxury, a panoramic sunroof with a wide field of vision, a very sharp through-type taillight, and sharp and decisive side lines, achieving a comprehensive evolution of appearance. The whole car is like a new species of the future that is moving sharply through the time tunnel.

In terms of technological configuration, Changan C385 is equipped with the world's first APA7.0 remote unmanned valet parking system. With continuously iterative and upgraded intelligent technology, it creates an exclusive parking lot "private driver" for users that can be "called upon and left at will". At the same time, the new generation of super electric drive will also be installed on Changan C385 for the first time, which will help to comprehensively improve the performance of the vehicle and its low-temperature endurance, and achieve true full-scene coverage.

While continuously meeting the diverse needs of users, Changan C385 has also achieved a comprehensive evolution in service. Through luxurious private butler services tailored for users, it has opened up a smarter, safer and more convenient green travel mode for the future.

As a strong competitor in the passenger car field, Changan Automobile has created a new situation in the changing situation, keenly perceived the development trend of new automobiles, actively embraced the new ecology, and based on the new automobile track, it has made every effort to promote the new energy "Shangri-La" plan, actively built and opened up a product layout that is leading in all areas and provides customers with ultimate experience in multiple scenarios, and unswervingly moved towards becoming a world-class automobile company, creating safe, environmentally friendly, and intelligent products and excellent services for users, and creating a better travel experience.
