Sun, 02/15/2009 - 18:04 — Joanna Kujawska

Chery A5 BSG hybrid was officially launched in the grand ceremony held in Wuhu. Mr. Yin Tongyue, President and General Manager of Chery and Mr. Ma Deji, General Manager of Chery Sales Company attended the ceremony. The newly launched Chery A5 BSG hybrid model belongs to the standard version. It is the first BSG hybrid vehicle of China as well as Chery’s first new energy car model. It comes into the market like a "green" blockbuster, which signals that Chery is one step ahead of others on new energy products.

BSG stands for "Belt Driven Starter Generator", which is a type of hybrid technology with the function of STOP-START. In this system, the engine, electric motor and gear-box are connected in parallel. It is able to shut the engine off temporarily when the vehicle is stuck in the traffic or stopped by the red light. At the moment the driver’s intention of starting is discerned, the system starts the engine promptly again through BSG system. Under the STOP mode, the BSG system manages to lower fuel consumption, emissions and noise efficiently.

Due to technical difficulties and relatively high cost of hybrid, it is quite difficult to popularize new energy car models. However, the dream of universal introduction of new energy autos in domestic market will come true thanks to the BSG technology of Chery. Chery A5 BSG is Chery’s first car model applied with BSG technology under the guidance of Chery’s new energy strategy. Chery A5 BSG will not be the only one to get the BSG treatment, Chery also plans to apply the BSG technology to other models like Chery A3.
