In-depth analysis of Honda's hybrid technology, explore Honda's black technology!

For a long time, Akina Mountain has been a holy place for masters to compete. You, I and everyone have the dream of stepping on the accelerator to fight in Akina Mountain. But in reality, we have to say goodbye to the push-back feeling that makes adrenaline soar because of fuel consumption. Shakespeare, a world-renowned atypical philosopher, once said: Push-back feeling or low fuel consumption, this is a question, but only children make choices, adults want both. Who says that strong acceleration experience and low fuel consumption cannot be achieved at the same time? Do you know about Honda's i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system?

Adhering to the dream of "balancing the protection of the earth's environment and ensuring driving pleasure", Honda, a "technology-obsessed" company, is very concerned about how to balance driving passion and low fuel consumption, and has invested a lot of energy in developing a highly efficient hybrid system - the i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system. The system uses the engine and the motor to work together to drive the vehicle forward. This powerful combination of good friends is not only fuel-efficient, but also powerful, which is simply too cool. After unremitting research and development and improvement, this Honda-exclusive dual-motor hybrid system has now been optimized and upgraded to the third generation.

The third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system consists of a 2.0L Atkinson cycle gasoline engine, a high-power dual-motor electric CVT and a lithium-ion battery. The electric CVT replaces the traditional transmission and does not require planetary gears, reducing friction losses between machines. This system, which is mainly driven by motors and supplemented by engines, can seamlessly switch between EV, hybrid and engine driving modes, providing more effective power output with lower energy consumption.

EV driving mode

It is common to be unable to move during rush hours in the morning and evening, and the rising fuel consumption is even more frustrating. As the saying goes, if you use electricity well, you will have fewer worries about traffic jams. When starting or getting stuck in traffic, starting the EV driving mode will make the motor react quickly, using the battery to pull the car to run. The large torque of the driving motor of 315N·m can easily achieve efficient acceleration, and there is no need to worry about carbon deposits and increased fuel consumption caused by engine idling.

Hybrid driving mode

Who doesn't want to accelerate hard when driving on the road? This is when the hybrid driving mode comes into play. The engine drives the engine to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is supplied to the driving motor to drive the vehicle forward. The efficient dual motors cooperate with the Atkinson cycle engine. The two engines work together to achieve a maximum system output power of up to 158kW, which is full of power and fast acceleration. Overtaking, changing lanes, and climbing hills are so easy!

Engine driving mode

When entering high-speed cruising, the motor hands over the baton to the engine, starts the engine driving mode, and the engine is directly connected to the clutch. The upgraded 2.0L Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTEC engine has a maximum power of 107kw and a maximum torque of 175N·m. The power is directly transmitted to the wheels, reducing transmission losses, increasing acceleration performance while reducing fuel consumption, and achieving a better cruising range.

It starts quickly, has no jerks at low speeds, accelerates powerfully, and has endless power at high speeds. No matter what the road conditions ahead are, you just need to step on the accelerator and leave the rest to the third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system!
