In July, the high temperature in midsummer accompanied by strong convective thunderstorms added some topics to the night in the capital, off-road enthusiasts, after reading the pricing of the dark blue G318 in June, it will finally be two weeks later on Friday, ushering in the BJ60e, an extended-range non-carrying off-road vehicle on the market.
There are many SUVs that use the range-extended technical route, and there are several models for positioning off-road functions, the high-end ones are looking up to U8, Mengshi 917, and the high-end ones are Polar Stone 01, in the face of the working class, BJ60e should be counted as the first one in the non-load-bearing, look at the technical structure characteristics, it seems that there is no comparison of the same type, but in the new energy pickup, there is a range-extended technical route, that is, the Chang'an Hunter, and it is also a non-bearing belt girder, you can take a look together.
Let's talk about Chang'an hunter first, the following picture is the chassis structure, you can see that the engine is longitudinal, the rear part is similar to the transmission, that is, the generator, which is not small, to everyone's surprise, the generator is backwards, a square part, that is, the front motor, but arranged in this position, and then similar to the transfer case, is actually the gear reducer of the front motor, and then the forward output of the transmission shaft, and then drive the front axle, this design operation, so that the car friends who understand the structure of the car can recognize at a glance, this is the oil to electric operation. In this arrangement, the generator, front motor, and reducer of the range extender occupy valuable wheelbase space, but fortunately, the battery capacity of the hunter is not very large, and it is also 37 degrees, which is placed in the middle, but fortunately, it is a pickup truck with a long wheelbase, which can be operated in this way.
Look at the BJ60e again, called the magic electric drive, the front is the engine, but pay attention to it, the engine is inverted front and rear, the flywheel forward, and then connected to the generator, the advantage of this design, the engine will not occupy valuable wheelbase space, and the space in the middle is reserved for the battery. The front motor is integrated with the front axle and is arranged on parallel axles, which takes up very little chassis space. Observe the close-up of the battery pack in the picture below, the battery pack is located in the wheelbase space, within the frame of the girder, but it is a flexible connection, similar to the fixed mount of the engine. Because the girders also have torsional deformation, they cannot be transmitted to the battery pack, and the torsional deformation is absorbed by the suspension. At the rear of the battery pack, a muffler is placed horizontally, and then to the rear is the rear electric drive axle, which is also the parallel shaft of the motor is integrated, and then to the rear, it is the fuel tank, which is the same as the design of the BJ60 fuel version.
After reading the structure, riders know that the BJ60e, a range-extender car, is specially designed, not oil-to-electricity. BJ60 car, the sales of the fuel version is not outstanding, the car companies have a lot of promotion, and the replacement subsidy is given a lot, but the sales have not risen. Can the launch of the extended range version help sales? Also look at the pricing, there is a G318 set a very pragmatic price in the front, and then look at the BJ60e, remember when the BAIC building block off-road platform was released, the high-level once stated that the extended range BJ60e will maintain the same price as the fuel version, so the author boldly guesses that in the current involution market environment, coupled with the 60 fuel version of the sluggish sales background, BAIC in order to take the initiative, the price of BJ60e will not be high, it is estimated that 25.98 starts.
In short, BJ60e is also an important strategic model of BAIC, since the 60 fuel version has not gone out, and the engine and transmission are also externally procured, plus so many replacement subsidies, and the sales are not good, it is better to tilt the resources to the extended range version of the new car, maybe it can turn over, wait and see.
