At last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Zero Run released intelligent power technology and its intelligent electric drive, showing the latest products of the technology strategy of Zero Run 2.0 era. At that time, when "Wei Xiaoli" became famous. Zhu Jiangming clearly knows that if he wants to become the "helmsman" of the new era, he must be at the forefront.
On April 25, Zero Run Technology officially released intelligent power CTC technology, becoming the first car company in China and mass-produced after Tesla. The last piece of the puzzle of zero-run intelligent power is completed - the smart battery. The leap from CTP 2.0 to CTC 3.0 was achieved.
CTC technology advantages demonstrated
With the delivery of new cars breaking through the 10,000 mark in March this year, beginning to rank among the first camp of new forces, and the application for listing in Hong Kong was officially submitted, I still think that zero run is only a initial success in strategy, until I saw the zero run CTC battery chassis integration technology conference, found that zero run is not only "cost-effective" so simple, in the fiercely competitive environment, zero run once again justified its own name, showing its stronger "bottom card".
The so-called CTC is the abbreviation of Cell To Chassis technology. Refers to the technology that integrates the design of batteries, chassis and underbody to further simplify product design and production processes. By redesigning the battery bearing tray and merging it with the body skeleton structure, the redundant structural design is greatly reduced, which effectively reduces the number of parts while also improving the space utilization rate and system efficiency.
In terms of space, as mentioned above, the integrated battery structure of CTC has increased the vertical space in the car by 10mm, and the overall battery layout space according to the zero-run algorithm has increased by 14.5% (doubtful).
Why put a question mark, this understanding is mainly calculated according to the thickness of the battery pack:
The thickness of the Xiaopeng P7 and Tesla battery packs is 125mm (excluding the raised part), and the thickness of the battery packs of most previous designs is 140mm.
From the perspective of industrial design, the Ningde era has a particularly thin design, the target is 110mm, so the benefit brought by 10mm is expected to be between 7.1% and 9%, and the 14.5% data given by zero run is still different.
In terms of endurance, higher battery space utilization rate also increases the mileage to a certain extent, due to the reduction of the battery structure, zero running between the cockpit and the battery to increase the insulation layer, in the winter can be better for the battery insulation. Based on this, after equipped with CTC technology, the vehicle's comprehensive mileage can be increased by 10%.
In terms of body stiffness, CTC technology will increase the body stiffness to more than 25%, further improving the chassis response speed and handling performance. After zero running and China Automobile Center cooperated on the C01 body test, the data yielded 33897Nm/deg, which exceeded the torsional stiffness of the traditional body-in-white design scheme.
Whether C01 can stand out in the Red Sea
C01, which is equipped with zero-run intelligent power CTC technology, is the world's first electric vehicle without a separate battery pack. After undergoing a number of safety tests (more than 30 tests such as 5-meter drop test, thermal runaway test, squeeze test, seawater immersion test, fire test, external short circuit protection test, etc.), Zero Run was originally scheduled to debut in April, pre-sale in June, and officially launch in August.
Zero-run car adheres to the global self-research, three electric (except the battery cell), intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, core sensors, etc. all self-research, zero-run C01 will be the set of its self-research results.
Judging from the preview map released, the new car adopts a large number of arc design in appearance, the headlights adopt a through-type design, the three-stage daytime running lights, and the vehicle contour is streamlined (wind resistance coefficient 0.226Cd). The whole is more low lying, with a coupe model. The side of the car adopts a slip-on design, which adds a lot of trendy atmosphere to a five-meter-long medium and large car.
The tail light is also a penetrating design, the same is also a partition type, echoing the headlights, and the English LOGO "LEAPMOTOR" that lights up the zero run shows the 3D effect.
It is reported that the new car will be equipped with a 90kWh battery pack, and the comprehensive working mileage will reach 700km. In terms of specific performance, the new dual-motor four-wheel drive version can accelerate up to 3 seconds per 100 kilometers. 5 meters long: the new car is 5050mm long, the wheelbase is 2930mm, and the standard medium and large sedan size is standard.
Auto network review: medium and large pure electric car is a booming market, in addition to BYD, Weilai ET7, Zhiji L7, WM M7 and other models have successively joined this competition, in the face of other lidar and high AI operation of several competitors, C01 equipped with CTC technology undoubtedly has an innate technical advantage, people without my core strength, or will break through the siege in this market segment.
Zero-run technology self-development, from 0 to 1, the inevitable result is that the product completion in the initial stage is not high, such as assisted driving with lack of functions, high power consumption that is often complained about, and so on. But as long as you persist, all problems will be overcome. CTC technology will also continue to improve.
Finally look forward to running C01 under zero.
I also hope that Zhu Jiangming will surpass Tesla in the field of intelligence in the next three years, and sell 800,000 Flags in 2025, do not renege on his word.
