As the automotive world moves away from traditional petrol and diesel engines, mechanics and scientists are working to develop new and interesting ways to deliver efficient and environmentally friendly ways to power cars.
One of these ways is the Super Hybrid System (SHS), which combines the convenience of a petrol or diesel engine with the instant torque of an electric motor.
Let’s take a deeper look at how this technology is being used to propel car manufacturing into the future.
A super hybrid system differs from a traditional PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) because it tends to have a larger battery capacity. The larger battery is kept at a higher charge level by the engine than standard PHEV vehicles so that the car can be used more like an electric vehicle. This technology allows for incredible fuel efficiency.
The Jaecoo J7 SHS has an advertised mpg of 403 with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine alongside an 18.3 kWh battery and motor. Alongside this, it has an electric-only range of 56 miles, making short commutes a breeze.
Petrol or diesel cars are incredibly convenient because of the prevalence of petrol stations and the speed of filling up.
Electric cars are silent, efficient, and can deliver torque almost instantly.
A super hybrid system combines these two attributes to deliver unparalleled mpg and low carbon emissions. It combines the range and convenience of a petrol or diesel engine with the efficiency and high torque of an electric motor.
Several car manufacturers are adopting super hybrid systems to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Among them, Chery’s Jaecoo and Omoda brands are set to introduce models that utilise this cutting-edge hybrid technology.
The Jaecoo J7 SHS, for instance, is designed to offer a balance between petrol power and electric efficiency, boasting an impressive 403 mpg and an electric-only range of 56 miles.
Similarly, Omoda’s upcoming models are expected to integrate SHS technology, providing drivers with the best of both worlds - long-range capability without range anxiety and outstanding fuel economy. As these brands enter the UK and European markets, they’re aiming to push the envelope of hybrid performance.
As the industry moves towards greener solutions, super hybrid systems could play a pivotal role in making hybrid vehicles more practical, accessible, and appealing to a wider audience. Whether you’re looking for lower running costs, reduced environmental impact, or a smoother drive, SHS-equipped cars might just be the future of everyday motoring.
