At this year's Beijing Auto Show, Beijing Hyundai exhibited the hybrid version of the ninth-generation Sonata. This hybrid electric-powered model will be available in China in the second quarter of this year. What is the technical strength of Hyundai in the field of hybrid power? What are the characteristics of modern hybrid technology compared to Toyota?
Modern TMED Hybrid Technology: 20 Years of Inheritance
When it comes to hybrid electric power, most people think of Toyota first. However, Hyundai also has a very strong strength in this technology. In fact, in recent years, sales of the Sonata hybrid version in North America have accounted for 10% of the total sales of Sonata models. These achievements come from Hyundai's exploration of new energy technologies over the past 20 years.
Today's new energy technologies originated in the 1990s, during which Toyota and GM introduced a number of conceptual products. Modern research on new energy vehicles also started from that time. In 1991, Hyundai launched its first new energy car Sonata pure electric version. In 1995, Hyundai developed the FGV-1 concept car with hybrid electric and electric power.
Gearbox: the biggest difference with Toyota
Hyundai and Toyota are taking two very different routes in hybrid electric power technology. Toyota's planetary gear mechanism is the core, replacing the traditional gearbox with an E-CVT of two motors and planetary gears; the modern TMED hybrid system still retains a six-speed automatic transmission.
