How the test unfolded
The PHEV range test took place in late June at UTAC Millbrook, Bedfordshire, over two days. Routes included a two-mile banked circular circuit replicating dual carriageway and motorway conditions, plus a hill route for countryside driving. Challenge partner Webfleet logged data assessing the SHS in varying conditions.
Fifth-generation Super Hybrid System
OMODA & JAECOO’s SHS is designed to combine intelligent energy management, electric driving capability (claimed 56 miles EV-only), and real-time hybrid operation for long-distance usability.
