The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P sets two Guinness World Records: 293 kilometers for pure electric range and 1,813 kilometers for hybrid range

Lynk & Co. has achieved a major worldwide milestone with the Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P, earning two Guinness World Records. The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P is now the world’s first high-end plug-in hybrid car to hold Guinness World Records for both the longest pure electric driving range and the longest hybrid driving range, both of which were attained without the need for refueling or recharging.

The first record, officially named “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV Without Refueling or Recharging,” was set in Hami, China on April 18–20, 2024, over challenging road conditions and harsh environmental conditions. In hybrid mode, the Lynk & Co EM-P achieved a total driving range of 1,813 kilometers, greatly surpassing its official maximum CLTC total range of 1,400 kilometers.

The second record, “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV on Electric Mode,” was achieved in Toluca, Mexico on December 22, 2025, demonstrating the vehicle’s ability to function as a true electric daily driver. In pure electric mode, it achieved a total driving range of 293 kilometers, surpassing its official maximum CLTC pure electric range of 245 kilometers, and covering far more than what most users need for everyday commutes and short trips.

These achievements are made possible by Lynk & Co EM-P’s “Super Hybrid” System, which is designed around intelligent energy use rather than simply relying on larger batteries or fuel tanks. The vehicle is also designed with CMO Evo architecture which adopts a seven-layer design, delivering a longer wheelbase, improved pure-electric performance, a stronger chassis, and smarter systems that enhance driving, safety, and connectivity.

While the records themselves are global milestones, their real significance lies in what they mean for everyday driving. These achievements show that long range is no longer reserved for test tracks or ideal conditions, but something drivers can rely on in real life, allowing them to depend more on electric driving during the week, while still having the flexibility to take longer trips when needed.

The Lynk & Co 08 EM-P makes energy replenishment voluntary rather than required, saving drivers from having to continuously schedule charging or refueling stops. This results in more freedom and fewer disruptions for longer drives. For everyday use, it means being able to drive without worrying about range all the time.

The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P, which has two Guinness World Records in both hybrid and pure electric range, shows how smart hybrid technology can provide useful, real-world advantages by fusing performance, efficiency, and convenience in one car.

Lynk & Co.’s 01 PHEV and 02 EV Set New Records for Efficiency in 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run

Government-validated testing highlights new energy vehicle performance using standardized gasoline equivalent metrics

The results of the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run have been made public by the Department of Energy (DOE), and Lynk & Co.’s entrants, the 01 PHEV and 02 EV, showed notable energy efficiency. DOE scientists used a specific metric called “Liter of Gasoline Equivalent” (Lge) to give a scientific foundation for comparing various powertrains. The DOE defines this unit of energy content as being equivalent to the chemical energy in one liter of standardized gasoline liquid fuel. This makes it possible to measure the efficiency of new energy vehicles precisely in comparison to the use of conventional fossil fuels.

With a verified economy of 58.06 km/Lge, the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV proved to be the best plug-in hybrid vehicle. The vehicle’s capacity to optimize its electrified powertrain under actual highway circumstances is demonstrated in this picture. In addition to its efficiency, the 01 PHEV has an 800 km total hybrid driving range, making it a useful option for long-distance travel without the limitations of infrastructure for charging.

Engineered with a focus on versatile performance, the 01 PHEV features three distinct driving modes: Pure EV, Hybrid, and Standard ICE. This flexibility is backed by a globally recognized 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating, ensuring that its high-efficiency output is matched by a robust safety architecture designed to protect occupants in diverse road scenarios.

In the battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment, the Lynk & Co 02 EV recorded a superior efficiency of 71.71 km/Lge. The all-electric SUV provides a pure electric driving range of up to 435km on a single charge. The 02 also benefits from a low drag coefficient (Cd) of approximately 0.25,  achieved through the car’s sleek aerodynamic design, which significantly aids in improving energy efficiency and extending its electric driving range.

The 02 EV further solidified its standing in the market by earning a 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating, notably becoming the highest-rated compact SUV tested by the organization in 2025. This dual achievement of world-class safety and energy economy positions the 02 EV at the forefront of the compact SUV segment.

In the third quarter of 2025, a 156-kilometer section of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) was used for the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run. Nearly 70 vehicles, including internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV), were on display at the DOE-led event. The route started at Petron TPLEX Northbound, continued to the Rosario, La Union rotunda, and ended at Petron TPLEX Southbound. The collected data highlights the contribution of cutting-edge vehicle technologies to the development of a more sustainable and energy-efficient transportation environment and provides customers with an open benchmark.

The Important Riding Get-Up When Riding Two Wheels

Because safety and fashion should go hand in hand

It truly boils down to the lifestyle you lead, whether it is traveling to the most breathtaking locations or being spotted riding the motorcycle model of your choosing. What you wear when you go for a bike ride says just as much about you as your vehicle, regardless of whether you’re riding through the city on a weekend or traveling to a far-off place to get away from the everyday grind. Additionally, every trip becomes a display of confidence and style when your two-wheel partner is the Winner X.

The top motorcycle manufacturer in the nation, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), is aware that modern riders seek more than simply performance. The correct attire and vehicle are the first steps in achieving the comfort, safety, and individuality that today’s riders seek.

Safety and style start at the top

Every rider knows the helmet is non-negotiable. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) mandates that all motorcycle riders and passengers wear a standard protective helmet that bears either the Philippine Standard (PS) mark or Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) sticker.

Beyond compliance, helmets define your riding personality. Whether it’s the sleek modular type for convenience or a full-face helmet for maximum coverage, choose one that offers ventilation, clear visibility, and fits well. After all, your helmet isn’t just gear, it’s your first line of defense and your signature style on the road.

Wear protection with every step

It’s tempting to hop on your motorcycle wearing slippers or sandals, especially during short rides, but the law says otherwise. The LTO strictly requires closed footwear, protecting riders from heat, debris, and road hazards.

Invest in ankle-high riding boots or sturdy sneakers made of leather or reinforced fabric. They’re not only functional but also fashionable, giving your overall riding look that confident edge, perfectly matching the Winner X’s sporty stance.

Function meets fashion on the road

Comfort and protection go hand in hand when you’re on two wheels. Riding gloves help maintain grip and reduce fatigue during long drives, while jackets and pants made of abrasion-resistant materials shield you from both the wind and the unexpected.

While not legally required, these gears are strongly recommended by the LTO and by seasoned riders who know the difference they make. Pick breathable fabrics for daily commutes or leather options for weekend highway runs. Style them your way, because safe can still look sleek.

Stay dry in style

Rain can strike anytime in the Philippines, and no rider wants to be caught off guard. A high-quality waterproof poncho or riding rain suit is essential. Go for ones with reflective strips to enhance visibility during downpours and low-light rides.

Aside from keeping you dry, the right rain gear keeps your movements unrestricted, allowing you to focus on the ride, not the weather.

Choose a ride that matches your style

Your look is only as good as your ride, and the Winner X makes sure both stand out. This underbone motorcycle combines sporty design with powerful performance, making it ideal for riders who live life on the move.

Available in Standard, ABS Premium, and ABS Racing Type variants, the Winner X is powered by a 150cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine that delivers smooth acceleration and efficiency. Its ABS technology ensures reliable braking, while the Smart Key System provides added convenience and security. With its comfortable seat, ample storage, and aerodynamic design, every ride feels seamless whether it’s a city cruise or a long drive across scenic routes. These are the advance features that will truly transform your riding experience and will elevate your style.

Winner X is designed for riders who see every journey as an opportunity to express their individuality responsibly, and in style. It’s a motorcycle built for confidence, comfort, and character.

Ride smart, ride stylish, ride like a champion

You don’t have to give up your flair to be a responsible rider. You can ride any route safely and with style if you have the correct equipment and motorcycle. .

You ride like a champion with Winner X; you don’t just move.
