The Mach pure electric drive and range extender systems are both important new energy powertrain platforms under the Mach Power sub-brand. The Mach pure electric drive has completed the development and production of its third generation of electric drives. The iD4-160 electric drive assembly, representing the fourth generation of Mach pure electric drives, will achieve comprehensive breakthroughs in energy efficiency, NVH, and intelligent control. The Mach range extender system DFMR90 has an energy conversion rate that reaches the industry’s highest production level of 3.66kWh/L, earning the “Energy Efficiency Star” certification from the China Automotive Research Institute. This range extender system uses the industry’s first production-certified hybrid-specific engine with a thermal efficiency exceeding 45%, and the same platform model is the first engine in the industry to break the 47% thermal efficiency barrier. It aims to achieve even higher thermal efficiency by the end of this year, maintaining its leading position in the industry. Chen Gen also stated that Mach Power has fully covered all passenger car brands within the Dongfeng Group, where the Dongfeng Yipai eπ008 range extender version and Dongfeng Nano 06 have both achieved good sales and market reputation.
Dongfeng Yipai eπ008 Range Extender Version
As a flagship model launched after the establishment of Yipai Technology, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ008 range extender version focuses on family travel scenarios, illustrating the “Big Comfort Home” concept with 108 detail upgrades. It also features 3C super-fast charging technology, reducing charging time from 30% to 80% to just 15 minutes, and with the DFMR90 range extender paired with high-efficiency electric drive, fuel consumption can be as low as 4.7L/100km. The “National Smart Pure Electric SUV” Dongfeng Nano 06, launched in May of this year, boasts an electric drive high energy efficiency ratio of 92.7%, with 3C fast charging enhancing charging power, allowing it to charge 100 kilometers in just 5 minutes. In the future, this vehicle will also be equipped with the new generation Mach E electric drive iD4-160 system, characterized by extreme integration, lightweight efficiency, safety, quiet operation, intelligent control, and autonomous manageability.
