And consumption up to 2.9 liters per 100 km.
May 28, BYD will launch the fifth generation DM (Dual Mode) hybrid technology, which will provide vehicles with a range of up to 2000 km with a full tank of fuel and a full charge of the battery.
A monument to the world's first plug-in hybrid car was unveiled at BYD's manufacturing facility in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, northwest China. When announcing the monument, the company mentioned its plans to create next-generation hybrid technology.
The monument is a testament to BYD's 20 years of experience in accumulating hybrid technology and an important milestone in the development of new energy vehicles in China.
Lu Tian, BYD's general manager of Dynasty line sales, said on Weibo that the Qin L, which goes on sale on May 28, will be the first hybrid sedan equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM system.
BYD's first plug-in hybrid was the F3DM, which went on sale in 2008 and has now been discontinued. It is worth noting that the company began developing hybrid technology in 2004 and launched the first generation DM hybrid technology platform in 2008. In 2021, BYD launched the fourth generation DM platform. BYD's current hybrid models are based on the fourth generation DM platform.
The fifth generation hybrid system will reduce fuel consumption to 2.9 liters per 100 km.
