The first popular science article of the new year is here! What exactly is the artificial intelligence in the plug-in hybrid electric drive system?

The current plug-in hybrid vehicles on the market have the advantages of smoother and more energy-saving by virtue of the rational use of driving modes, energy recovery intensity and driving modes. However, due to factors such as arduous learning of the combination, manual adjustment by the user, and inability to accurately judge the usage scenario after mastering it, the experience is not up to the ideal value. So how to solve it perfectly? SAIC’s original iEM intelligent energy management system equipped on the Roewe RX5 eMAX will answer your questions!

iEM is the abbreviation of intelligent Energy Management in English. After the system is turned on, it can use map navigation information and environmental information to intelligently identify and judge 9 major road conditions such as entering a roundabout, speed limit camera, and downhill. The vehicle status is controlled independently, and the most suitable power system operation mode is selected for the user to release the ultimate efficiency of the “green core”. For example, when the user encounters a red light and has a strong demand for deceleration, the iEM intelligent energy management system will actively increase the intensity of energy recovery. Stored in the battery pack, it will not be blocked by the rear car due to braking fee or slow deceleration.

In addition to not requiring manual operation by the user, the system can also pre-adjust the use range of the engine and motor according to the length of the stroke, slope value, congestion and other information, saving about 8% of energy consumption. For example, when the navigation shows that there are congested road conditions and smooth road conditions throughout the trip, the system will let the Roewe RX5 eMAX charge in advance on the unblocked road section, and switch to the pure electric mode after the congested road section to avoid high energy consumption due to frequent engine start and stop or long-term idling. . It is worth mentioning that the system can also continuously learn and adapt to the user’s control habits, bringing thousands of different driving styles, and following the online update of map data, iteratively upgrades infinitely, allowing users to enjoy the latest experience.

In addition, the iEM intelligent energy management system also has more thoughtful details. In terms of navigation route selection, the system will additionally calculate a navigation route with the lowest energy consumption to provide users with a more economical choice; during driving, the system will prompt the user whether to Switching the Roewe RX5 eMAX to EV mode allows users to accurately control the vehicle status; after the navigation, the iEM intelligent energy management system will also display the saved energy consumption value on the large screen, and the energy-saving performance of the Roewe RX5 eMAX is clear at a glance.

As the latest research achievement of SAIC’s AI intelligent technology, the iEM intelligent energy management system directly solves the pain point of the user’s difficult choice of driving mode, realizes optimal system efficiency, and leads China’s plug-in hybrid technology to a new level. At present, the Roewe RX5 eMAX, which is the first to be equipped with this technology, is favored by the industry and users. In the future, more SAIC Roewe new energy vehicles equipped with the iEM intelligent energy management system will be put on the market to provide users with a better green travel experience.
