When I first tried the Zero Run C11, I used to describe its hardware configuration as "scary". The suspension of the front double wishbone and the rear five connecting rods of the whole series, which is generally only seen in luxury cars of 4 or 500,000; the dual motor four-wheel drive version, with a range of 550km, a power of 400kW, and zero hundred acceleration for more than 4 seconds; the whole series is equipped with L2 + driver assistance as standard. The key is that the price is only 159,800-199,800 yuan, and the second car with a higher hardware level than it can be found at the same price.
It can be seen that the new car with zero run has a lot of advantages in terms of cost performance, which makes people look forward to their next car, pure electric medium and large sedan zero run C01. According to the current news, its length will exceed 5 meters, which is larger than Xiaopeng P7 and BYD Han. Moreover, its zero hundred acceleration time can reach more than 3 seconds, and it will be equipped with a maximum 90kWh battery and a cruising range of up to 700km. Although it is not known under which endurance standard it was measured, it is also a very considerable data.
Judging from the official picture of the half-covered face of the pipa at present, the shape of the C01 is very plus. The whole vehicle is contoured into a streamlined type (wind resistance coefficient of 0.226Cd), a bit of a low coupe style, through the headlights and tail lights, but also a good integration into the front and rear lines. In addition, it may have a frameless door design.
In fact, the zero-run C01 is technically remarkable. It will be the first mass-produced model in China equipped with CTC (Cell To Chassis) battery technology. CTC is a technology path that has many different implementations, but on the same principle. Tesla and BYD are also developing CTC, but zero runs ahead of mass production. In addition, zero run official announcement, their CTC technology will be free and open sharing.
The battery pack of early electric vehicles usually consists of a module composed of cells first, and then a whole package of modules, which is convenient for battery unit management through layers of grading. However, this way occupies a lot of space, so the Ningde era launched CTP (Cell To Pack cells to the whole package) battery technology, BYD launched blade battery technology, etc., are to save the module level, directly from the battery cell to form a whole package, to improve the space utilization rate in the battery pack, put down more cells, and then improve the vehicle's endurance.
However, the battery pack of CTP technology is still a separate component, and the use of space has not yet reached the extreme. This requires CTC technology to achieve a breakthrough, directly integrating the battery cell and the vehicle chassis, which is equivalent to part of the chassis is the battery pack. According to the official introduction of zero running, after the use of CTC technology, the number of parts of the battery pack can be reduced by 20%, the cost of structural parts can be reduced by 15%, the battery layout space can be increased by 14.5%, the vertical space of the body can be increased by 10mm, and the endurance can be increased by 10%.
In addition, due to the high degree of integration, the torsional stiffness of the body can be increased by 25%, the weight is better, the handling is faster and more energy-efficient. However, this type of packaging may make repairs more expensive and more difficult to repair. CTP structure, you can directly remove the battery pack for repair or replacement, while CTC can only remove the chassis as a whole.
Referring to the price of the zero-run C11, the performance of the C01 is stronger and the configuration should be higher, so the price should be increased accordingly. It is expected that the starting price of C01 will be around 180,000, and the high match will be around 220,000. If you follow this price, compared with the starting price of Xiaopeng P7 239,900, the price of zero run C01 is still not small temptation.
