Chery showcases its own hybrid technology at ADM Jizzakh

Chery held an open test of its hybrid technologies at the ADM Jizzakh plant. Journalists and bloggers were invited to witness a series of tests designed to demonstrate the batteries’ resistance to high temperatures, as well as to assess the driving dynamics and electromagnetic field levels inside Chery vehicles. Media representatives were able to see the brand’s hybrid technologies in action and challenge some of the common myths about hybrid vehicles.

One of the most widespread misconceptions about hybrid and electric vehicles is that the electromagnetic field inside such vehicles supposedly exceeds permissible limits and may pose a health risk. During the test, participants used specialized measuring equipment to compare electromagnetic field levels inside Chery vehicles with those produced by everyday household electrical appliances. In both cases, the measured levels were within permissible limits.

According to Chery specialists, the high-voltage wiring used in the brand’s hybrid vehicles is shielded and insulated, while metal structural components provide an additional barrier against the penetration of electromagnetic fields into the passenger compartment.

Another common myth is that the weight of a traction battery of 175–225 kg can negatively affect driving dynamics. Chery specialists demonstrated that the battery’s low and evenly distributed position under the vehicle floor can actually contribute to greater stability and help reduce body roll in corners.

The highlight of the testing program was a demonstration addressing concerns that a traction battery could catch fire or even explode. This phobia was tested with fire: the battery was subjected to extreme thermal exposure directly at the test facility. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the battery’s protection systems and challenged this common misconception.

Chery representatives also demonstrated how the Battery Management System (BMS) continuously monitors the condition and operation of the traction battery. The system tracks temperature, voltage, and other key operating parameters. If the temperature exceeds safe limits, the electronics can reduce power output, activate the cooling system, and, in an emergency situation, disconnect the high-voltage circuit. The battery is also equipped with an active liquid-cooling system. The combination of multiple layers of protection is designed to prevent a single abnormal event from triggering a chain reaction.

According to participants in the open hybrid technology test, such events provide an opportunity to gain a better understanding of how modern hybrid vehicles are engineered and to separate facts from common misconceptions surrounding hybrid and electric vehicles.
