Regarding the dream of “overtaking on a curve” of new energy vehicles, it is far from being realized in reality. How should the road of energy saving and emission reduction go? The answer is self-evident. Hybrid power is a foundation that cannot be bypassed anyway. suject.

Regardless of the development of the industrial technology flow or the constraints of external conditions, more and more signs indicate that hybrid power replaces electric vehicles as the mainstream trend of "new energy" vehicles.From industry, enterprise to academia, the voice of hybrid power is getting louder and louder.

Hybrid becomes a consensus

What is somewhat surprising is that domestically tepid hybrid vehicles have become a big hit in the global automotive industry.From Frankfurt to San Francisco, from Tokyo to Stockholm, hybrid power has penetrated into all aspects of local taxis and private cars.Especially in Japan, the birthplace of hybrid power, Prius is everywhere. This is not surprising. Including Prius and its derivative models, hybrid power has been in the forefront of local sales for three consecutive years.

As of now, the cumulative global sales of all Toyota hybrid models have exceeded 750 million.It needs to be pointed out that hybrid power is no longer Toyota's unique stunt.European auto companies including Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW have also "converted" to hybrid power and listed them as the development focus of energy-saving and emission-reducing vehicles.

It can be seen that almost all auto giants in the world have set foot in the hybrid field, and there are more and more hybrid models of various brands, but it has to be admitted that as a pioneer and adherent of hybrid power, regardless of technological maturity Toyota has a unique advantage in terms of model richness.It is foreseeable that Toyota, which has seen the dawn of large-scale popularization, will usher in more gains.

Energy saving is more urgent

If it is said that the domestic acceptance of hybrid electric vehicles in the past few years is still in the tentative stage of wait-and-see and technological genre confrontation, then with the continuous improvement of the maturity of hybrid technology, coupled with the successful popularization of foreign cases first, the domestic understanding of hybrid power Will enter the stage of rational acceptance.In fact, it is not only the auto industry itself that decides whether to accept hybrid power or not.

The smog across the country has caused the public to suffer from environmental pollution.Although car emissions are not the primary source of pollution, car exhaust is indeed polluting the air, especially in a congested city like Beijing. When car engines are in a congested and almost stationary idle phase, the exhaust emissions from car engines account for the majority of car emissions. For the overwhelming majority, reducing vehicle exhaust emissions is an effective way to effectively reduce air pollution.

To a certain extent, the necessity of hybrid vehicles for the domestic vehicle environment is no longer energy saving, but also emission reduction.According to the test results of the Swiss Federal Material Testing and Research Laboratory, hybrid cars can save 30% of fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 45% compared with cars of the same type.For industry authorities and enterprises, from the perspective of reducing pollution, they should put aside disputes over interests and promote the real industrialization and popularization of hybrid vehicles.

Sooner or later it will be a big hit

Although in the domestic consumer environment, hybrid power is far from becoming mainstream, as consumers' awareness of environmental protection has increased and their understanding of hybrid power has become more mature, the sales of hybrid models are quietly heating up.

Especially in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, consumers are more receptive to hybrid power.At many Lexus dealerships in Beijing, consumers have shown great interest in hybrid models such as the CT200h and ES300h. Jiang Jizhe, executive deputy general manager of Lexus China, also told reporters: For consumers, the later operation and maintenance costs are relatively economical. The more you understand, the greater your acceptance of it."
