On March 27, 2026, Deepal celebrated the production of its 1-millionth electric drive unit and launched the all-new Yuanli Ultra-collection e-Drive 3.0. This milestone highlights Deepal’s rapid progress in new energy vehicle core technology, going from early research to mass production of 1 million units in just 45 months.
Deepal’s e-drive technology has evolved from discrete components to a 3-in-1 system, then to the Ultra-collection e-Drive 2.0. The brand has won the “World’s Top 10 E-Drives” award for four consecutive years. The 1-millionth unit rollout marks a critical transition from R&D validation to large-scale production, demonstrating China’s growing technological independence in core NEV systems.
In a live broadcast, Deepal Chairman Deng Chenghao disassembled an e-drive unit that had covered 512,000 km. The key components showed no significant wear or performance degradation. This real-world test underscores the long-term reliability and quality of Deepal’s products.
The new Yuanli Ultra-collection e-Drive 3.0 achieves global-leading benchmarks in efficiency, power density, lightweighting, and NVH. It features the world’s first mass-produced micro-core high-frequency pulse heating technology. In -30°C conditions, this innovation boosts power by 55% and cuts charging time by 30%, making winter driving much more convenient.
The Yuanli Ultra-collection e-Drive 3.0 is expected to debut in new Deepal models between late 2026 and early 2027. It is designed for a 600,000 km ultra-long service life, promising longer range, stronger power, lower energy consumption, and a quieter, more comfortable ride.
With the 1-million-unit milestone as a new starting point, Deepal says it will continue to push technological boundaries. The company aims to deliver more efficient, reliable, and intelligent new energy vehicles, helping to drive China’s NEV industry to the forefront of the global value chain.
