Pininfarina’s Design Studio Chief, Mr. Luca Borgogno appeared in person to explain the design concepts behind the HK vehicles. All three vehicles share common family features such as elegance, technology, refinement, and innovation. The strong front with a wide grille integrates the headlights in a single shape and exquisite interior details showcase the same car family DNA, which is shared in all three vehicles but slightly differed to offer a luxurious and sleek look for the H600, an elegant and dynamic image for the K550, and a majestic and high status for the K750.

Five advantages of HK eco-sustainable vehicles for environment benefits
Hybrid Kinetic Group’s three eco-sustainable electric drivetrain concept vehicles share the following traits:
I. Facilitating eco-sustainable energy conservation and environment protection for the well-being of people
According to statistics, the number of automobiles in China will reach 200 million by 2020. But behind this scene of prosperity lies massive energy consumption and harmful emissions. HK vehicles are equipped with micro-turbine generator range extenders and super batteries which is a power system golden combination that will maximize energy conservation and environment protection. The micro-turbine generator range extenders employ the latest aerospace technology, a masterpiece of precise industrial design that helps reduce environmental impact. Hybrid Kinetic Group’s self-developed high energy and high density super batteries feature unique energy recovery capabilities. Compared with conventional clean energy vehicles, HK vehicles boast kinetic energy recovery rate of over 30%, and a range of over 1,000 kilometers. Even if there are more vehicles in the future, the energy consumption pressure would not necessarily rise. Hybrid Kinetic Group’s eco-sustainable principles are in line with and beneficial to the livelihood of people and well-being of society, which will help realize “development in harmony, and harmony for development”.

II. Eliminating range anxiety and breaking the industry development bottleneck
The key to revitalization of a nation lies in the enhancement of overall national strength and improvement of peoples’ livelihood. But development is often accompanied by environment impact and resource depletion, contradicting the goal of building a harmonious society. Eco-sustainable development is the only viable path towards a nation’s future. However, as one of China’s seven new strategic industries, the development of clean energy automobiles has been plagued by the problem of range anxiety.
HK clean energy vehicles are equipped with micro-turbine generator range extenders that can provide clean electricity to the vehicles and charge the batteries anytime and anywhere, freeing the vehicles from charging stations or facilities. This will fundamentally change the status quo of reliance on charging infrastructure and need for grid support, thus removing the development bottleneck of the clean energy automobile industry.

III. Facilitating circular economy for social benefits with a far-reaching vision on environment protection
HK clean energy vehicles are equipped with micro-turbine generator range extenders that boast life expectancy of 50,000 hours and maintenance interval of 10,000 hours. The super batteries have a lifespan of 50,000 DOD charging cycles. The long lifespan of range extenders, batteries, and motors allows them to be recycled. This not only lowers cost but also reduces secondary environmental impact, which is the perfect embodiment of Hybrid Kinetic Group’s vision of environment protection.
IV. Benefiting the people with sharing economy through financial innovation
Hybrid Kinetic Group has always placed equal importance on technological development and financial innovation. Core components can be bought back and used in a circular way at the end of vehicle life to avoid resource waste and reduce financial burden for consumers. This is a perfect rendering of “combination of automobile and financial innovation”, and sets an example for sharing economy.
V. Alleviating pressures on the grid and facilitating eco-sustainable development
As the national GDP grows, supply of electricity faces growing challenges. Building or expanding hydro power, fire power, nuclear power plants or electricity transmission networks seems to be the inevitable solution. HK clean energy vehicles are equipped with super battery systems that can store and recover energy. In “Vehicle to Home” or “Vehicle to Vehicle” modes, HK vehicles can serve as emergency power sources for families and communities or provide charging services to other electric cars, working as a node in the distributed power network. In the “Vehicle to Grid” mode, HK vehicles can provide modulation service to the grid by storing electricity when demand is low and feeding electricity back to the grid when demand is high.
When the above applications become universal, energy efficiency and grid usage will be enhanced and less or no new power plants will be needed. Environment and investment pressure will ease, and the HK solution will contribute to the eco-sustainable development strategy.
Hybrid Kinetic Group remains dedicated to its energy conservation and environment protection principles. It dares to lead and sets the new benchmark for new energy luxury vehicles with its eco-sustainable electric drivetrain concept vehicles. It works towards reducing environmental impact and creating a harmonious and eco-sustainable society. While facilitating the development of Chinese automobile industry, we also care about the world and commit ourselves to the development and progress of human beings and the Earth.
