Vehicle model
DR Gamme DR - électrique/hybride
DR's electric and hybrid range reflects the group's opening to electrification beyond its historical LPG specialty, including full hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fully electric models such as the DR 1.0, the brand's first electric car derived from a Chery model. These vehicles are not officially distributed in Quebec.
History
History of the DR Gamme DR - électrique/hybride
DR's electric and hybrid range illustrates the group's opening to electrification beyond its historical LPG specialty. It includes full hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric models, including the DR 1.0 city car, the brand's first electric car, derived from a Chery model. Measuring about 3.2 metres, the DR 1.0 targets the segment of very small, affordable electric city cars, offering enough range for urban use and alternating-current charging. These vehicles target urban buyers concerned about running costs and low-emission zones. For tires and wheels, these electrified city cars use small wheel diameters and low-rolling-resistance tires that favour range. In Quebec, given the cold climate, winter tires would be essential, even though these models are not officially distributed there.
Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Electrified vehicles derived from Chinese platforms, covering full hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric (e.g. DR 1.0, an electric city car charging on alternating current up to 6.6 kW).
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme DR construit surtout des citadines et des VUS compacts à moyens dérivés de plateformes Chery, on retrouve des diamètres de jantes typiques de ces segments, généralement de l'ordre de 15 à 18 pouces, les VUS adoptant les jantes les plus grandes. Les entraxes (bolt patterns) correspondent le plus souvent aux standards courants des véhicules de ces gabarits. Faute de présence officielle au Québec, il vaut mieux confirmer les dimensions exactes de pneus et de jantes sur l'étiquette du véhicule ou la portière conducteur. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires : pour ces véhicules à vocation urbaine, un second train monté sur jantes d'acier de plus petit diamètre est une solution économique et pratique.
