The strategy of “walking on two legs” is advancing in depth, and Garrett is releasing the development potential with the kinetic energy of double engines.
With the acceleration of the global automobile industry to electrification, the whole industrial ecology is undergoing profound changes. In this wave of transformation, not only vehicle manufacturers actively deploy, but also supply chain enterprises represented by Garrett show excellent technological innovation and market adaptability.
A few days ago, at a media communication meeting held by Garrett at the 2023 Auto Show, Gaspar learned that with the technical route of “two-legged walking” and two-wheel drive development, Garrett continued to optimize the clean internal combustion engine scheme while accelerating the layout of a new generation of electrification technology, focusing on improving energy efficiency, vehicle performance and sustainable travel. Especially in the automobile market of China, by deepening the localization strategy, increasing R&D investment and capacity layout, it is continuously releasing its technical reserves and market potential, injecting strong impetus into the industry transformation.
Energize electrification and zero emission technology to continuously drive future growth.
In recent years, driven by technological progress, policy support and environmental protection demand, the global new energy automobile industry has witnessed rapid growth, especially as the world’s largest new energy automobile market. According to the data of China Automobile Association, in 2022, the annual production and sales of new energy vehicles (including pure electric, plug-in hybrid, extended-range electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles) exceeded 10 million for the first time, accounting for more than 40% of sales.
In this context, based on its deep accumulation in the fields of air and gas compression, high-speed motors, advanced power electronics and high-speed system control software, Garrett actively responds to market demand and develops electrification and zero-emission technology.
At the Shanghai Auto Show, Garrett unveiled a number of portable innovative technologies. Among them, it is worth focusing on that it exhibited two breakthrough technologies of three-in-one electric drive and electric cooling compressor in China market for the first time.
It is reported that Garrett’s three-in-one electric drive integrates high-speed motor, inverter and reducer. Compared with the industry average, the size and weight are reduced by as much as 40%. Moreover, while reducing the use of rare earth and key minerals and ensuring that the performance is not affected, it also improves the layout flexibility and can extend the cruising range of electric vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles with limited space. This product has mass production capacity. At present, Garrett is cooperating with Sinotruk to develop the next generation electric drive system for heavy trucks, which is expected to be put into production by 2024 at the latest.
