1. The GWM Forest Ecosystem

GWM Forest Ecosystem features 4 aspects:
Open-sourcing, Symbiotic, Co-serving, Ever-evolving

GWM Forest Ecosystem have 3 layers to operate an organic whole.

1) Resource Layer: Revolving New Energy and Smart Tech, a number of resources have been deployed.

2) Tool Layer

From the Resource Layer, GWM incubates the latest tech platforms, such as GWM Coffee.AI, GWM TANK off-road platform, GWM L.E.M.O.N Tech Platform, and the latest GWM Hi4 (Hybrid Intelligent 4WD) System.

3) Application Layer:

GWM, at its Intelligent NEV Day, has launched its latest hybrid technology platform, Hi4 (Hybrid Intelligent 4WD), featuring advanced EV-based powertrain technology designed to optimize efficiency in all road conditions and driving scenarios. 

GWM Hi4 platform features two powertrains with a maximum system power of 340 kW, covering A-C class vehicle models. The e-hybrid powertrain achieves an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 41.5%, which is made possible by its advanced combustion system, high-pressure direct injection, and low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation technology. In addition, the Hi4 platform's intelligent energy management and control strategies provide optimal operating efficiency and improve vehicle energy efficiency by about 8% compared to traditional energy management. 

The Hi4 platform also offers a range of over 100km on pure electric power, thanks to its high-capacity battery pack, which uses advanced lithium-ion technology to deliver long-lasting power. Fast charging energy efficiency that reaches 97%, and charging from 30% to 80% in ambient temperature takes less than 30 minutes, thanks to its high-voltage charging technology and intelligent charging management system. 

"The Hi4 platform represents a major breakthrough in hybrid technology, providing an innovative combination of efficiency, safety, and value that has been previously considered impossible," said the Powertrain Technical Officer at GWM. 

The GWM iTVC (intelligent Torque Vectoring Control) system is a new dynamic control technology that relies on milliseconds-grade high-precision sensing of vehicle speed through motor rotation. GWM iTVC rapidly distributes and dynamically adjusts the torque between the front and rear axles in milliseconds, effectively preventing slipping on low-adhesion road surfaces and improving handling stability and driving safety during turns. 

The electromechanical coupling transmission system is an innovative design of two electromechanical coupling units, covering almost the entire speed range of the engine, meeting the driving needs of users in all scenarios. 

"The Hi4 platform provides powerful performance and lower fuel consumption, and with its innovative dual-motor and dual-axis control functions, it also improves handling stability and driving safety during turns," said the Powertrain Technical Officer, Mr. Liu. 

"Initially, people buy SUV not just because of its looks and higher ride position, but naturally for its 4WD capabilities, but the main pain point is price. So in the ICE era, GWM successfully capture that and sacrifice the 4WD capabilities to offer more affordable soft roaders, but GWM never forgets its strength in 4WD, and in the electrified era, GWM manages to use the electric motors tech to realize the 4WD functions at the cost equivalent of 2WD. Again, As an SUV leading brand, GWM HAVAL make SUV the way it should be." Said the CTO, Mr. Liu.

More Driving Scenarios: 

The Hi4 vehicle has a smart system that can switch between 9 different driving modes based on real-time road conditions. It can use both electric and hybrid engines and can switch between 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive, as well as different transmission modes. The system also allows for energy recovery during braking. This ensures that the vehicle will always use the best driving mode for any situation, making it adaptable to any driving condition. 

• City driving: It switches between pure electric 2-wheel drive, series mode, and 1st gear direct drive mode to avoid using the engine in low-power and low-efficiency ranges. 
• Quick acceleration/climbing hills in the city: It switches between pure electric 4-wheel drive and 1st gear direct drive mode. When using pure electric mode, the two motors are dynamically adjusted for high efficiency. When using direct drive mode, the engine works in the high-efficiency range with the shortest transmission path and highest efficiency. 
• High-speed cruising: It uses 2nd gear direct drive mode to keep the engine working in the high-efficiency range with the shortest transmission path and highest efficiency. 
• High-speed acceleration/climbing hills: It intelligently switches between parallel 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive to ensure that the engine is working in the high-efficiency range and the remaining power is provided by the battery. 
• Deceleration and braking: It switches between single-axis energy recovery and dual-axis energy recovery mode. 

Intelligent Energy Management System 

The system will analyze driving style, environmental temperature, slope, power demand, driving status, radar data, navigation data, and road conditions to form the basis for energy management. 

Based on this basis, the system controls six subsystems that work together: predictive start-stop management, adaptive energy recovery management, intelligent engine operation management, predictive thermal management, intelligent SOC management, and intelligent torque vector control system. This ensures optimal operating efficiency and improves vehicle energy efficiency by about 8% compared to traditional energy management.
