Draft:Super Hybrid System



Super Hybrid System (SHS)

[edit]

The Super Hybrid System (SHS) is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology developed by Chery for its premium sub-brands, JAECOO and OMODA. SHS is engineered to combine the characteristics of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with the long-range practicality and energy regeneration capabilities of hybrid systems. It is part of Chery’s global strategy to expand its electrified offerings across Europe, including the United Kingdom[1].

Overview

[edit]

SHS integrates a high-capacity battery, electric motors, and a turbocharged petrol engine. Unlike traditional plug-in hybrids, SHS maintains a minimum battery charge level to ensure continuous hybrid operation, even when external charging is unavailable.[1]

Technology and Features

  • Dual Powertrain: Combines a turbocharged petrol engine with a high-efficiency electric motor and large-capacity battery[1].
  • Smart Battery Management: Maintains a minimum charge level to always preserve hybrid functionality[1].
  • Multiple Drive Modes: Optimised for urban, highway, and off-road driving conditions[1].
  • Fast & Flexible Charging: Supports both DC fast charging and AC home charging [1].
  • EV-Like Driving: Offers instant torque and silent operation like battery electric vehicles [1].
  • Software-Defined Vehicle: Most vehicle functions are managed via a central touchscreen interface [1].
