JAKARTA - A Chinese car manufacturer, Chery, has just made brilliant achievements in the automotive world. Their plug-in hybrid SUV (PHEV), Fulwin T10, managed to break the Guinness world record for the furthest distance to reach with a single charge and full battery.

Quoted from Top Gear, September 10, Fulwin T10 was able to cut the route by 2,135 kilometers (about 1,304 miles). What is the secret behind the stamina of this champion?

The model has a length of 4,850 mm, a width of 1,930 mm, 1,712 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,820 mm and is armed with a 1.5 liter turbo 4-cylinder petrol engine powered by 151 dk and a 220 Nm torque. The machine is combined with Chery's own Super Hybrid C-DM plug-in hybrid system.

This hybrid system is powered by a 34.5 kWh capacity battery supplied by CATL. The battery allows Fulwin T10 to go as far as 209 kilometers (about 130 miles) with only pure electric power. Interestingly, this system comes in two variants: a 369 dk powered version of the front wheel (FWD) and a 601 dk wheel driven version (AWD) and a 980 Nm monster torque.

Now what broke the world record was the FWD variant with a distance advantage of 299 kilometers (about 186 miles) from the previous record holder. Through this achievement, Chery seemed to want to be proud and challenge global automotive manufacturers, especially the UK.

Chery is the parent of two car brands, namely Jaecool and Omoda. Both brands have just arrived in England, and will reportedly be equipped with PHEV technology in the future. The plan, Jaecool J7 will be the first to carry this technology, scheduled for release in early 2025.

As previously reported by VOI, Chery is also considering building production facilities in the UK.
