JAKARTA - Last year, Chery introduced fifth-generation hybrid technology through the Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) platform as part of its strategy for developing environmentally friendly vehicles in the Indonesian market. This technology combines a gasoline engine, electric motor, and battery to improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions.
CSH integrates a Dedicated Hybrid Engine, a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission without gears, and a Dedicated Hybrid Battery. This system allows vehicles to operate in electric mode for up to about 100 kilometers without gasoline consumption, depending on usage conditions.
The CSH technology is available in two configurations, namely Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). The PHEV variant allows charging from external power sources, while HEV relies on automatic charging when the vehicle is used. Both systems have been applied to a number of Chery models marketed in Indonesia.
In its official statement, Chery explained that the hybrid system was designed to work automatically without requiring special adjustments from the driver. The shift between gasoline engine power and electric motors is carried out according to driving conditions to maintain efficiency and performance.
Currently, Chery has introduced a line of hybrid vehicles in various segments, including SUVs such as Tiggo 8 CSH, Tiggo 9 CSH, and Tiggo Cross CSH. These CSH-based models are aimed at meeting the needs of consumers with different usage characteristics, ranging from daily mobility to medium-distance travel.
Chery considers hybrid technology still relevant in Indonesia, especially due to the heavy traffic conditions and limitations on charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The hybrid system allows vehicles to remain efficient without full dependence on external charging stations, especially for use in urban areas.
