On February 2, 65438, Hyundai Motor Group launched the world premiere of the electric vehicle platform "E-GMP", whose full name is Electric-Global? Modularization? Platform (electric global modular platform). I believe that friends who are familiar with Hyundai Motor Group should know that Hyundai Motor Group also has an "i-GMP" platform, and recently listed Beijing Hyundai Elantra and Kia Kaiku (both? New? K5) all come from this platform. At present, Hyundai Motor Group has completed the full coverage of modular platforms from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles. So what are the highlights of the E-GMP platform that debuted this time? Watch it with Parker.
For electric vehicles, performance and battery life are issues that many people care about. According to the known information, Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP platform can produce high-performance cars with an acceleration of less than 3.5 seconds per 100 kilometers and a top speed of 260km/h, which shows its potential in performance. Moreover, the models produced by E-GMP platform will come standard with rear-drive mode and five-link independent rear suspension, while the four-wheel drive system can be realized by adding front-wheel motors. This can not help but remind hackers of the slogan of a luxury brand "no rear drive, no luxury", which also makes hackers have more expectations for the driving control of E-GMP platform models.
Of course, the E-GMP platform is not only for performance, it can cover cars, CUV and SUV models with different wheelbase, and can also be used to produce energy-saving models. Moreover, judging from the product positioning of Hyundai Motor Group, the future E-GMP platform will definitely account for the majority of vehicles that are biased towards household attributes. And high performance can be regarded as the limit of E-GMP platform, and it is also the confidence of Hyundai Motor Group in technical strength.
In terms of battery life, the models produced on the E-GMP platform can achieve 600km NEDC pure electric cruising range, and are currently in the first echelon of joint venture brands. After all, the NEDC cruising range promoted by Volkswagen's ID.4 series is only 555km. In terms of charging, considering the wide application of 350kW fast-charging piles in the future, the models produced by E-GMP platform support fast charging up to 800V V, and the fastest 14 minutes can fill 80% of the electricity. If it is converted into charging for 5 minutes, it can supplement the pure battery life of 100km. In addition, the new PE system can also support two-way charging.
In addition to performance and battery life, safety is also one of the main concerns of electric vehicle consumers. Different from replacing oil with electricity, the models produced on the special platform E-GMP for electric vehicles put safety first at the beginning of design. First of all, the impact energy buffer zone in front of the vehicle will guide the deformation of all frame structures such as the body and chassis, thus absorbing energy and alleviating the impact force. In addition, it adopts a hedge structure in the load-bearing support area in front of the instrument panel, which minimizes the impact of PE module and high-voltage battery. In addition, the high-voltage battery protection zone at the lower end of the car body adopts ultra-high strength tensile steel to ensure the safety during collision. Moreover, E-GMP also uses a large number of hot stamping auxiliary materials on the front and periphery of the battery to ensure the structural integrity of the battery during fierce collision.
Different from fuel vehicles, spatial layout is also a problem to be considered at the beginning of electric vehicle design. After all, it will affect the placement of the battery pack. The E-GMP platform ensures sufficient interior space by shortening the front and rear suspension and lengthening the wheelbase, and the instrument panel accessory module will also be "slimmed down" to further expand the interior space. Due to the limitation of the transmission shaft, the central platform in the back row of many fuel trucks has protrusions. Considering this, the E-GMP platform can flatten the platform.
Although Hyundai Motor Group's "i-GMP" platform came a little late compared with other joint venture brands, "E-GMP" still belongs to an earlier group in the electric vehicle platform. Moreover, Hyundai Motor Group itself has a good technical accumulation in the field of new energy. In 2009, Hyundai Motor Group launched the first electric vehicle in Korea-hybrid vehicle; 20 10, the BlueOn electric vehicle was put into trial operation. 20 15, and establish a mass production system covering all electric vehicles (HEV, PHEV, EV, FCEV). Moreover, from the current domestic market, the new energy products of Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Da Yue Kia are more abundant than other joint venture brands, and their product strength is excellent. For example, NEDC, a pure electric vehicle of Beijing Hyundai Fista, has a cruising range of 490km, which is outstanding among joint venture brands.
After launching the E-GMP platform, Hyundai Motor Group plans to launch 23 electric vehicle products, including 1 1 pure electric vehicles, before 2025, so as to realize the global annual sales of electric vehicles 1 10,000 vehicles. Judging from the news released at present, the E-GMP platform has good advantages in performance, fast charging and space, but this time it did not mention too many details about intelligent interconnection and autonomous driving. I don't know if I will continue to disclose more information in the future.
Although the NEDC cruising range of 600km is still ahead of the joint venture brand, many models of independent brands and new forces have exceeded 600km or even 700km. Parker thinks that Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP platform should continue to tap the endurance potential, so as to enhance its comprehensive competitiveness.
Finally, talk about the cost and price. Referring to past experience, modular platform can effectively reduce the production cost of car companies. Hyundai Motor Group's products have always been known for their high cost performance. Now with the E-GMP platform, the cost will be further reduced, and the terminal price of future products should be very attractive. Are you optimistic about Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP platform?
