What is Toyota's intention? As a commercial company, Toyota instructs Blue? Nexus shares THS hybrid technology with China car companies, which not only promotes the development of hybrid market, but also has other factors, such as patent expiration. It is reported that one of the basic patents of Toyota's hybrid power system, the core patent of planetary gear, expired in the United States and Europe in February 2065438+2007; In China, there are 13 patents related to Toyota planetary gears, and the application time ranges from 2003 to 20 12 years, among which the first batch of "planetary gear set" patents will expire in 2023. In addition, next year, China will begin to incorporate hybrid technology into the environmental protection category under the new emission standards. As a Toyota with the advantages of hybrid technology, on the one hand, it will urge China automakers to pay more attention to hybrid technology, and at the same time, it will help to expand Toyota's sales in China. At this time, Toyota will provide hybrid technology to GAC, which will be beneficial to its further cooperation with its partners in China. Geely has also obtained patent authorization before. 2065438+In August 2008, Dong, Executive Deputy General Manager of Toyota China, revealed to the media that Toyota is cooperating with Geely Automobile to promote hybrid technology through its suppliers in China. After the cooperation is reached, Geely will indirectly win Toyota's THS core technology with 1 yuan. Recently, Gao, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and executive vice chairman of China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, revealed in an interview that this transaction has been reached, and it is indeed the authorization of 1 yuan.
Yuan Keli is the core component supplier of Toyota's hybrid vehicles in China, and Geely Group holds the shares of Yuan Keli 1 1.09%, making it the second largest shareholder. Yuan Keli 1 Yuan directly authorized Geely Automobile after winning the core technology of Toyota THS.
This means that Geely Automobile will probably launch a model equipped with Toyota THS hybrid system in the future. The world's best hybrid system THS is Toyota? Half-breed? System, Toyota's iconic hybrid technology, first appeared on 1997, the first generation Toyota Prius, and experienced four generations of technological changes. Now, Camry twin-engine, Corolla/Ralink twin-engine and Lexus hybrid models are equipped with this power system.
This is a power system that cost hundreds of billions of dollars to develop. The key lies in low fuel consumption, strong reliability and smooth driving texture. According to Toyota's statistics, as of April 20 18, the cumulative sales volume of HEV models of Toyota Motor Corporation has exceeded120,000, contributing 94 million tons to carbon dioxide emission reduction. After years of market testing, THS has proved that it is the best hybrid system in the world with real materials (perhaps only Honda i-MMD can compete with it). Jundian has also made a detailed analysis of Japanese hybrid technology before. Click to read: "There is Honda on the side of the couch, how is Toyota hybrid technology attacked?" 》。
THS belongs to oil-electricity mixing in principle, that is, non-plug-in mixing and weak mixing. The advantage is that the price is cheaper than pure electricity and plug-in electricity, and the reliability is higher. It follows the car habits of fuel vehicles, saves fuel and has no endurance anxiety. The disadvantage is that you can't enjoy preferential policies such as licensing, subsidies and exemption from purchase tax.
