Recently, Great Wall Motor’s official Weibo announced that Great Wall Motor’s Honeycomb Transmission Pizhou Base was officially put into operation. The first product to be put into production is the Lemon Hybrid DHT transmission assembly. After production, the total production capacity of Lemon Hybrid DHT transmission assemblies will increase to 650,000 units per year.
Great Wall Motor said that the substantial expansion of production capacity will greatly alleviate the current shortage of Great Wall Motor’s “Lemon Hybrid DHT” products.
Honeycomb Transmission Pizhou Base is Great Wall Motor’s second new energy transmission system production base after Yangzhong Base. It is responsible for the production of new energy products including hybrid series transmissions, high-performance three-in-one pure electric drive assemblies and their core components. After the overall production of the project, in addition to the annual production capacity of 450,000 units of Lemon Hybrid DHT transmissions, it is also planned to have an annual production capacity of 350,000 units for core components such as new energy three-in-one pure electric drive assemblies and controllers.
According to reports, the Lemon Hybrid DHT transmission put into production at the Pizhou base is a work completely independently designed and developed by Great Wall Motors and has completely independent intellectual property rights. It includes a highly integrated hybrid system, HEV and PHEV two kinds of power Architecture, three sets of powertrains, the total system power ranges from 140kW to 355kW, which can support the flexible matching of AC models of different levels.
In terms of power, the Lemon Hybrid DHT adopts a dual-motor hybrid topology, which can realize parallel driving of the engine and the motor together. The 1.5T+DHT130+P4 powertrain with the strongest power output has a zero-hundred acceleration time of 4.8 seconds.
In terms of fuel consumption, the Lemon Hybrid DHT adopts a dual-motor hybrid structure, which can independently select EV driving, series drive, parallel drive, energy recovery and other modes through independent calibration of energy strategies and intelligent control of working modes. Great Wall Motor said that the comprehensive fuel consumption of the A-class SUV equipped with Lemon Hybrid DHT can be as low as 4.7L/100km.
