In a competitive new energy vehicle industry, safety has become a core indicator of product quality. OMODA & JAECOO leverages its pioneering SHS technology to deliver the advantages of long-range capability, high performance, and robust safety features. All models are built to meet global five-star safety standards, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to comprehensive mobility safety. Through multiple extensive tests—including over 10 Super Hybrid Marathons across four continents—the brand’s hybrid technology has proven its safety, stability, and reliability under extreme conditions, setting new standards in energy mobility with real-world validation.
Technological Foundation: SHS Technology Redefining Hybrid Safety
At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, OMODA & JAECOO unveiled its all-new hybrid models—the C7 SHS and C5 SHS—equipped with revolutionary SHS technology. Celebrated for its long range, high performance, and safety, this technology not only enhances the driving experience but also establishes a new industry benchmark.
Rooted in the heritage of parent company Chery Group, which began engine development in 1997 and has become a leader in global engine R&D, the brand’s SHS system is built on autonomous core technologies, safety, reliability, and a collaborative global ecosystem. Chery has also introduced the Global Hybrid Technology Standard Declaration and Open-Source Initiative, reaffirming its leadership in safety innovation.
The SHS system features a 1.5TGDI turbocharged direct-injection engine with a thermal efficiency of 44.5%, paired with a DHT hybrid transmission achieving a world-leading 98.5% electric drive efficiency, ensuring power stability and safety. The high-performance hybrid battery pack incorporates advanced safety features such as heat resistance, impact resistance, waterproofing, and a rapid 2-millisecond power cutoff in collisions to prevent thermal runaway, providing real-time safety protection.
Certification Achievements: Recognized Globally for Safety
In April 2025, the JAECOO J7 SHS (also known as J7 PHEV in some markets) received a coveted five-star rating from Euro NCAP, further cementing OMODA & JAECOO’s safety credentials. Prior to this, models like the OMODA C5 achieved certifications from Euro NCAP, ANCAP, and ASEAN NCAP, while the OMODA E5 earned dual five-star ratings from Euro NCAP and ANCAP.
The J7 SHS’s five-star Euro NCAP rating underscores its leading Super Hybrid technology. As OMODA & JAECOO’s first model with this system, it offers powerful performance, exceptional electric range, low fuel consumption, and stability across diverse conditions, delivering a driving experience comparable to high-performance vehicles while emphasizing safety and efficiency. This fusion of safety and hybrid technology solidifies the brand’s competitive edge and industry leadership.
Super Hybrid Marathon: Setting New Safety Benchmarks Across Continents
The JAECOO J7 SHS, as the brand’s inaugural hybrid, has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in global tests. In April, it completed a Super Hybrid Marathon in Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, and other markets, achieving record-breaking results:
- In Mexico, a combined range of 1,613.1 km on a single tank.
- In Thailand, an ultra-low CS fuel consumption of 3.1L/100km.
- In Brazil’s tropical terrain, outstanding pure-electric range and quiet operation.
Since the start of 2025, the J7 SHS has traveled to over 10 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, surpassing 10,000 km in rigorous real-world testing. Additionally, the all-new OMODA C7 SHS participated in a 1,250 km extreme Super Hybrid Marathon, achieving a combined range of 1,457 km, a fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km, and an electric range of 121.1 km—demonstrating the upgraded capabilities of the NEO TECH platform.
These achievements reflect SHS technology’s relentless pursuit of safety, proving its resilience across extreme environments, from freezing cold to scorching heat, high altitudes to rainforests. Through extensive real-world testing, OMODA & JAECOO confirms that safety is not just theoretical but a dependable attribute, underpinning their commitment to global energy safety standards.
As safety ratings continue to rise and marathon records are broken, OMODA & JAECOO’s SHS technology pushes the industry toward even higher standards. From research and development to global roads, the brand remains dedicated to transforming technological innovation into tangible safety protections. Looking ahead, OMODA & JAECOO will continue leading the safety revolution in the new energy vehicle industry, ensuring every journey is confident and secure.
