Group 1: Technological Advancements - The fifth-generation DM technology was initially launched with a fuel consumption of 2.9L per 100 kilometers, marking the beginning of a new era in fuel efficiency [4]. - BYD has optimized hardware efficiency in engines, electric drive systems, and domain control, with future improvements focusing on the evolution of software and hardware collaboration strategies [4]. - The company has developed AI models for engines and three electric systems, which analyze over 180 million driving conditions to create refined fuel-saving strategies [5]. Group 2: Data and User Engagement - Since the launch of the fifth-generation DM technology, BYD has sold over 1.5 million vehicles, generating an average of 2.8 billion kilometers of driving data monthly, covering more than 1.8 million driving conditions [4]. - The extensive data collection allows for a comprehensive "super question bank" that enhances the development of hybrid systems beyond traditional limits [4][5]. Group 3: Cost Savings for Consumers - The technological advancements enable vehicles like the Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i to save 0.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, translating to a total savings of 6.3 liters for a full tank, equating to a cost reduction of 40 to 50 yuan per fill-up based on current fuel prices [5]. - The improvements in fuel efficiency will be remotely pushed to all vehicles equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology, benefiting both existing and new customers without additional costs [5].
