Beijing, China – Great Wall Motors (GWM), a leading Chinese car company, has just revealed its GWM One platform. This new system is powered by artificial intelligence (ai) and is the world’s first full-powertrain platform of its kind. It’s a big step forward for GWM’s plan to create better and more efficient car engines.
GWM Says No to Range-Extender Vehicles
At the launch event, Mu Feng, the president of GWM, said that the company had decided not to use range-extender vehicles. The electric motor in these cars gets its power from a small gas engine that makes electricity. GWM thinks that this system works, but it isn’t as efficient as using only electricity.
Feng said that making electricity with a gas engine and then using it to move things wastes a lot of energy. He also said that GWM’s tests indicate that this system can be 13% less efficient than using a direct electric system.
The GWM One Platform: A New Era for Cars
The GWM One platform is made to work with many kinds of cars. These include fuel-cell vehicles, hybrids, and electric vehicles (EVs). Because of this, it can fit many different types of cars, like SUVs, sedans, and pickup trucks.
One of the platform’s most exciting features is its 900V high-voltage system, which speeds up the charging of electric vehicles. It can charge at speeds of up to 600 kW, which makes the car charge faster.
Better Hybrid Technology
The GWM One platform has better hybrid technology. There are now two motors on each axle of the platform. The car uses less energy because it works better. It also has a new gearbox and a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, which makes it even better for hybrid cars.
The platform can also send and receive power, which means the car can send energy to other devices when needed, like charging your phone or running small appliances.
AI Makes the Difference
The GWM One platform is even more unique because it uses AI technology. This technology includes systems that help the car’s wheels, powertrain, and safety features change depending on the road conditions. Such technology makes the car smarter, helps it work better, and saves energy.
GWM can also make cars faster and more efficiently because the platform is modular. By using shared parts and changeable software, the company can produce cars in a more environmentally friendly manner.
Looking Ahead
With the launch of the GWM One platform, Great Wall Motors is setting the stage for the future of electric cars. They are focusing on making cars more efficient, faster to charge, and smarter. By not using range-extender vehicles, GWM is showing it wants to focus on cleaner, greener technology. This platform could be a big part of what future cars will look like.
