BYD Super DM Hybrid Technology

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology is a groundbreaking advancement in intelligent plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engineering. Developed exclusively by BYD, it offers numerous benefits, including higher energy efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, enhanced driving performance, and greater comfort.

How is BYD Super DM different?

BYD Super DM Technology distinguishes itself from other PHEV systems by centring on an electric-based hybrid architecture. It relies primarily on a high-power motor and a large-capacity battery, with the engine serving only as supplementary support. This innovative setup prioritises efficiency and adapts seamlessly to a wide range of driving conditions.

What are the benefits?

When fully charged, the vehicle operates as a pure electric car. Once the battery level drops, it switches to an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid mode, prioritising electric power while using minimal fuel. This eco-friendly approach maximises energy efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and delivers a quiet, comfortable ride without compromising on power or responsiveness.

The three core components of Super DM Technology

BYD Super DM technology is made up of 3 core components:

Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

The Electric Hybrid System (EHS) features a highly integrated powertrain, combining high-speed dual motors, dual controllers, and advanced oil-cooling technology to boost motor power density and overall efficiency.

PEAK POWER:
145 kW / 150 kW

PEAK TORQUE:
300Nm

High-Speed Dual Motors
The EHS uses powerful high-speed dual motors with a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm. The P1 motor generates power, while the P3 motor drives the wheels, delivering exceptional performance across a variety of driving conditions.

Hairpin Motor Technology
By incorporating innovative hairpin technology, the EHS greatly improves heat dissipation, achieving peak efficiency of up to 97% and maintaining stability above 90% for most operating conditions.

Oil Cooling Technology
The system features oil cooling that directly targets the heat source, enhancing dissipation and increasing motor power density to a maximum of 5.5 kW/kg.

Highly Integrated Dual-Motor Controller
The IGBT-based dual-motor controller boosts overall electronic control efficiency to an impressive 98.9%.

Xiaoyun 1.5L/1.5T Hybrid engine

The Xiaoyun engine, purpose-built for Super DM Technology, offers world-class thermal efficiency and a compact, streamlined design, delivering impressive peak power and torque for enhanced performance.

A large capacity Blade Battery

BYD Super DM Technology features a customised version of the acclaimed Blade Battery, specifically designed for the hybrid platform. With capacities starting at 18.3 kWh, it provides a pure electric range of up to 43 miles. Key benefits include:

Enhanced Safety
The Blade Battery passes the rigorous Nail Penetration Test without igniting or emitting smoke.

Optimised Strength
Each cell acts as a structural beam within a single pack, resisting external forces. An aluminium honeycomb-like structure, reinforced with high-strength panels on the top and bottom, boosts vertical rigidity.

Extended Range
Compared with conventional battery packs, the Blade Battery improves space utilisation by 50%, enhancing energy density and delivering a longer driving range.

Longer Lifespan
Designed for durability, the Blade Battery exceeds 5,000 charge and discharge cycles, ensuring long-lasting performance.
