Entering 2022, the sales performance of zero-run cars is quite surprising. According to the data released by Zero-run Cars, in January 2022, the monthly sales of zero-run cars were 8,085 units, up 434% year-on-year, and the overall performance was brilliant, and it was also the highest year-on-year growth among the new car-making forces. It should be said that if this momentum continues, zero-run cars should be able to firmly occupy the camp of new forces in second-line car-making, and directly approach the camp of new forces in first-line car-making.
The excellent results of zero running are inseparable from the T03 of 689-84,900 and the C11 of 15.98-199,800. The C11, in particular, despite its compact SUV positioning, has a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, and the "cheap and big bowl" is one of the highlights that consumers are looking at.
Recently, the medium and large electric car with C11 coincidence is quite high: zero run C01, but also released a number of heavy news, we will interpret it, see if C01 becomes the next "spoiler".
Zero-run's first global strategic model, the Zero-Run C11
Before I start talking about C01, I still want to talk about C11. Although the two cars are not the same type, both the exterior and the interior have a fairly high degree of overlap, and there are more optimizations based on the C11, which is also better.
In terms of intelligent driving, the hardware configuration of the zero-run C11 is not stingy, and the whole series is equipped with 28 high-precision perception hardware, including: 1 binocular camera, 1 forward millimeter wave radar, 4 angle millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 4 surround view cameras, 4 blind spot cameras and 1 face recognition camera. This configuration also appears in the official C01 information.
Compared with SUVC11, the most eye-catching upgrade of the sedan C01 is the integrated design of the CTC battery body for the first time.
Positioning medium and large electric sedan - zero-run C01
Key product strengths: "1", "3", "5", "7"
Among the information released by the official, the most curious are the "1", "3", "5", "7", these four numbers very accurately represent the four highlights of C01.
The "1" is the first CTC body battery integrated mass production model
Multiple advantages
"1" actually represents the first one. The Zero Run C01 will be the first zero run production model to use CTC battery integration technology.
The "CTC" in the CTC battery integration technology means the integrated battery integration scheme of Cell To Chassis (cell + body + chassis), which integrates the battery pack into the body chassis, and the upper shell of the battery is the body, which means that the battery is completely integrated in the body.
The benefits brought by this are quite numerous, the most obvious is to greatly improve the utilization rate of the space inside the car, in the traditional pure electric vehicle, the vehicle's power battery and the body are separated, that is, the power battery is installed under the body chassis, so some pure electric models look particularly bloated on the side, the fire point is exposed at the bottom of the car, and the height of the chassis is improved, which also brings better passability.
The second is higher battery compartment utilization, because the design of the module and the shell on the battery pack are eliminated, so more batteries can be loaded, which also means that a certain range can be increased.
The integrated design can also reasonably improve the rigidity of the vehicle body, and the overall torsional stiffness of the body is increased by 25%, which is not only safer, but also improves its handling to a certain extent.
The cost of the vehicle BOM is further reduced, after all, the body structure has changed, especially in the power battery pack, it is not the traditional module assembly method, the corresponding parts can also be reduced, and the cost is naturally reduced.
"3" three seconds club member
The estimated acceleration time from 100 km/h is 3.5 seconds
Although the specific 100 km performance has not been officially announced, it has been admitted that the acceleration time of its four-wheel drive version of 100 km/h will be less than 3.9 seconds. C01, which entered the "three-second club", predicted its price through the SUV C11, and the competitiveness of this product is still quite competitive.
If the price predictions are accurate, perhaps the Zero Run C01 will be the lowest-priced model in the Three Seconds Club. With strong acceleration performance and good handling (CTC technology) coupled with a beautiful price-performance ratio, I believe that C01 will attract a large number of consumers who love to drive. It is reported that the four-wheel drive version will be delivered at the same time as the two-wheel drive version, and the delivery time is September, and there will be no problems like the long delivery time of the C11 performance version.
"5" is more than 5 meters long
Luxury car class body dimensions
The 5-meter-long car also means that the zero-run C01 is officially classified as an echelon of medium and large cars. We have already seen the body dimensions of the cross-level C11 on the Zero Run, and this time we have also inherited this fine tradition.
Whether in the new energy formation or the traditional fuel formation, the body length of the zero-run C01 is quite capable, accelerating the price of less than 200,000, and making this car a real "price butcher".
The "7" cruising range is 700km
500km, 600km, 700km three models
According to official sources, the maximum cruising range model of the zero-run C01 is 700km, in addition to the remaining two models such as 500 and 600km. The 700km long-endurance version will be equipped with a power battery pack from AVIC lithium battery, with a capacity of more than 90kWh.
Judging from the models with a cruising range of more than 700km on the market, the zero-run C01 may become the lowest model with a range of 700km or more after its listing.
Combined with "1", "3", "5", "7", four key product points, coupled with speculation price, the cost performance of the zero-run C01 is also far superior to that of the same level of models and models at the same price, with a fairly high cost performance.
The vehicle design continues the C11 language
"Natural Aesthetics of Science and Technology"
Combined with the previously exposed spy photos, the front face of the new car adopts an enclosed air intake grille and is equipped with a through-line light strip, bringing a full sense of futurism. The body side adopts a slip-back design, with frameless doors, hidden door handles, the details are outlined through rich lines, with the front and rear bulging wheel eyebrow shape, the overall smooth and sporty. The wind resistance coefficient of the new car is officially declared to be only 0.266. The rear of the vehicle is shaped to echo the front of the car, and it is also equipped with through taillights, which is in line with the current aesthetic trend.
In terms of intelligence, according to the information we currently have, the new car, like the C11, will be equipped with 28 sensing hardware and 22 intelligent auxiliary functions. Similarly, the new car in the cockpit will be equipped with snapdragon SA8155 chip, which supports face ID recognition and vehicle OTA. At the same time, the new car will also support intelligent electric drive, through learning the driver's behavior to modify the energy consumption strategy, so as to further achieve the ultimate goal of saving energy consumption, its battery also has a deep learning function, will be equipped with big data AI intelligent battery management system.
In terms of NoA automatic pilotage, zero-run C01 will also be provided, it is worth noting that the driving assistance function will not be free to open, the official clearly stated that it will provide subscriptions or buy out two different ways to sell, is expected to open the function in October.
How much will this "reckless man" sell?
Expected to be a little higher than C11
Since it is a "price butcher", everyone must be most concerned about its official price. At present, there is no further official news, and it is expected to be officially unveiled in April, officially open pre-sale in June, listed in August and delivered to consumers in September. As mentioned earlier, zero-run C01 and C11 have a very high degree of overlap, so we can speculate on the price according to the configuration highlights of C01 compared to C11, and the price of zero-run C11 is: 15.98-19.98 million yuan.

Although the detailed configuration has not yet been announced, and there is still a period of time before the final SOP mass production, but through the information disclosed by the official, we probably speculate that C01 compared to C11, some models are expected to be more expensive than one to twenty thousand yuan, the expected low price is also about 160,000, and the four-wheel drive long-endurance model is expected to be about 220,000 yuan, so it can be speculated that the price of the new car will be around 160,000-220,000 yuan.
Now the birth of C01, just looking at the official news and book data, is already quite exciting. Coupled with the price close to C11, surpassing the same level of product strength, it is believed that C01 will also bring the next 434% to Zero Run. Let's look forward to its final price.
