As one of the earliest domestic automakers to carry out the development of multi-energy powertrain technologies, GAC has accumulated solid technical strength over the years. GAC’s three core powertrain technologies - GAC ADiMOTION Range Extender Technology, GAC Quark Electric Drive Technology, and GAC 3rd Generation Hybrid Technology - have all successfully won the "World Top 10" titles, fully covering the three core tracks of range extender, battery electric, and hybrid, demonstrating GAC's independent innovation capabilities.
02 Three Major Breakthroughs in Energy Efficiency, Quietness, and Power ADiMOTION Range extender Wins "World Top 10 Range extender System"
The evaluation of the World Top 10 Range extender System mainly focuses on core indicators such as fuel-to-electricity conversion rate, quietness, and power response. This is China's first special authoritative evaluation for extended-range technology, filling the gap in global range extender technology evaluation.
GAC ADiMOTION Range Extender Technology won the title of "World Top 10 Range extender System" with systematic breakthroughs in three dimensions: energy efficiency, quietness, and power. In terms of energy efficiency, centered on a 1.5L hybrid-specific engine and a front-wheel-drive extended-range module, ADiMOTION Range extender innovatively adopts a "volcano-type" combustion system, significantly improving thermal efficiency. Combined with an oil-cooled generator, it achieves an industry-leading fuel-to-electricity conversion rate of 3.73kWh/L. In terms of quietness, the engine adopts intelligent stop-position control technology to realize "seamless start-stop" and "seamless power generation", obtaining the highest-level certification of "Silent Star AAA" from China Automotive Engineering Research Institute. In terms of power, the efficient extended-range unit and high-power-density motor work in synergy, ensuring responsive power even in battery-depleted state, providing consistent driving experience whether the battery is charged or not. The AION i60 REEV equipped with GAC ADiMOTION Range Extender Technology successfully won the title of "World Top 10 REEV Model".
03 Dual Breakthroughs in Lightweight and Integration Quark Electric Drive Wins "World Top 10 Electric Drive System"
The evaluation of the World Top 10 Electric Drive System mainly focuses on core indicators such as the advancement of assembly design, peak power density, peak torque density, and comprehensive efficiency under CLTC operating conditions.
GAC Quark Electric Drive Technology won the title of "World Top 10 Electric Drive System" with its "12-in-1" highly integrated design, achieving a 20% weight reduction compared with similar industry products and realizing dual breakthroughs in lightweight and integration. The industry's first mass-produced amorphous alloy and carbon fiber motor equipped in Quark Electric Drive 2.0 not only raises the motor efficiency to an industry-leading 99%, breaking industry limits, but also achieves the coordinated upgrading of performance and reliability on the basis of extreme energy efficiency through the in-depth integration of chip-level integrated control and system-level high-voltage safety design, providing core technical support for the high-performance and high-safety development of electric vehicles. The AION i60 BEV equipped with Quark Electric Drive 2.0 successfully won the title of "World Top 10 EV Model".
04 A New Benchmark for Efficiency, Energy Conservation, and Quietness GAC 3rd Generation Hybrid Technology Wins "World Top 10 Hybrid System"
The evaluation of the World Top 10 Hybrid System mainly focuses on core indicators such as the advancement of configuration scheme, assembly output power density, assembly torque output density, and overall efficiency under WLTC operating conditions.
GAC 3rd Generation Hybrid Technology won unanimous recognition from experts and the title of "World Top 10 Hybrid System" with its highly integrated "6-in-1" lightweight and compact design, as well as outstanding power and energy efficiency performance. The 3rd Generation Hybrid System GMC 3.0 weighs 98.5kg, 40kg lighter than comparable competitors, making it the industry's first mass-produced hybrid-specific transmission weighing less than 100kg. It boasts an industry-leading torque-to-weight ratio and a maximum transmission efficiency of 98.7%. Under WLTC operating conditions, the drive efficiency exceeds 90.5%. Combined with a maximum rated output power of over 90kW for the generator, a continuous power density of 7.5kW/kg, and a maximum noise of only 75dB(A) at 1 meter, it provides users with a more relaxed and comfortable driving experience, setting a new benchmark for hybrid technology in terms of "efficiency, energy conservation, and quietness". The GAC All-New S7 equipped with the 3rd Generation Hybrid System GMC 3.0 performed exceptionally well in weight control, performance output, energy utilization, and NVH, successfully winning the title of "World Top 10 Hybrid Model".
As one of the earliest domestic automakers to deploy multi-energy powertrain technologies, GAC has achieved comprehensive breakthroughs in new energy powertrain technologies through long-term investment and solid technical accumulation. Winning three "World Top 10" awards this time is undoubtedly an authoritative recognition of GAC's independent innovation capabilities.
