The changes coming from China certainly don’t stop at cars and motorbikes. The propulsion systems for these vehicles are also undergoing changes, here’s what kind.
The world of Smartphone and Tablet technology rarely meets that of the automotive industry. Apple and Samsung have already tried, but if the dream of the Apple Car seems to have sadly failed after years of delays and Samsung’s first car, a story dating back to the nineties, has not been followed up, another brand has surprised everyone.
Upsetting every rival in both fields, in 2021 the Chinese company Xiaomi, a giant that has created an operating system used by 500 million people around the world – according to some estimates – founded its own automotive division which is simply called Xiaomi Auto . To show how serious he is the company, the SU7, sedan also appeared at this year’s Beijing Motor Show. The brand has good future plans.
The Chinese company plans to launch a mass assault on the automotive sector but will not limit itself to producing cars with components from other brands. In fact, it intends to use a tactic also implemented by BYD and other Chinese manufacturers by building the electric motors needed to run these cars itself. Guess when it comes out the first of these revolutionary powertrains and completely ecological?
Xiaomi ready to make history: it takes two years
By next year or at most the following year, the Chinese house intends to present a new electric motor that makes zero emissions its flagship. This engine that will be fitted in the next SU7 sedan models has such incredible performance that the competition has already started to worry, including Western companies such as Porsche and Tesla.
The new electric motor produced directly by the house presents itself with some dream specs: we are talking about 578 horsepower for 635 nm of torque. Of course, there are many cars that deliver higher power but let’s remember that those models generally have twin systems or even three engines to achieve a power close to that of the new sedan from the Chinese brand.
This engine belonging to a new generation of electric motors would then have the ability to reach the record speed of 27,200 rpm. In comparison, a modern electric sports car stops at 21,000 which is already a truly impressive figure. The autonomy should be close to 800 kilometers on a single charge, taking advantage of all the modern technologies in the field. The name of this series of dream engines? HyperEngine! Here’s what happens when a company with a net worth of $53 billion launches into the motoring sector.
