After 6 years of development, the Chang’An Jiexun HVE hybrid vehicle has just unveiled- China’s first locally developed hybrid vehicle. The car powered by a 1.5 liter gasoline engine combined with an electric motor. Chang’An says this will improve fuel efficiency by 20%.
No idea how well this car will do- only 2,000 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles were sold in China last year, but Chang’An promises the Jiexun HVE will be cheaper than foreign hybrids in the Chinese market. Chang’An also recently announced China’s first independently-developed hydrogen engine earlier this year.
