Domestic new energy vehicles not only increase in sales, technological breakthroughs and innovation are also thriving, major manufacturers show a hundred flowers blooming, in recent days, zero-run cars have another flower.
Zero-run CTC technology
On April 25, Zero-Run Auto released intelligent power CTC technology in the form of cloud live broadcast.
In Guangzhou in 2021, zero-run cars released intelligent power technology and its intelligent electric drive, and also proposed the concept of "intelligent car complete body", that is, intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, intelligent power trinity. Zero-run cars said that only in this way can the intelligent control of the whole car be realized, and the release of the CTC smart battery marks its perfection in the intelligent power sector.
The so-called CTC refers to the integrated design of the battery, chassis and car body, by redesigning the battery bearing tray to make the chassis structure of the car body coupled, so as to reduce the redundant structural design and the number of parts, improve the space utilization and system specific energy, the body's anti-torsional stiffness and battery resistance to impact can be improved.
Compared with the principle of technology, consumers are undoubtedly more concerned about how the new technology can bring to the use of cars. As zero-run cars say: "Every breakthrough is to meet higher user needs", at the same time, zero-running cars regard CTC as the latest important breakthrough under the zero-run intelligent power system, so what kind of breakthrough is it?
First, CTC technology applies the body structure as the external structure of the battery pack, cancels the structure on the battery pack, which increases the vertical space of the vehicle by 10mm, and the space of the battery layout increases by 14.5%, which can be used to increase the battery capacity or layout otherwise, that is to say, the convenience of the space layout is improved.
Second, CTC technology can also bring better sealing, then in low temperature areas, the battery insulation performance will be better, with the use of AI BMS big data battery management system, can achieve cruising range improvement. The official data provided is to increase the cruising range by 10%, and with the continuous advancement of technology, CTC technology will also advance in charging technology in the future.
The third is to increase the torsional stiffness by 25% and the weight reduction by 20%. Regarding the role of high torsional stiffness of the body, most people should have a certain understanding, first of all, it can improve the control of the vehicle, and secondly, the anti-resonance ability is higher, and the NVH of the vehicle will be improved to a certain extent.
For batteries, safety is the pain point of most consumers, in order to verify the safety of CTC technology, zero-running cars have conducted many rigorous experiments, including nearly 30 tests such as bottom ball hitting, squeezing, thermal diffusion, etc., of which 8 experimental results exceed national standards. In addition to high physical strength, intelligent active protection is also important, in the zero-run AI BMS big data intelligent battery management system, battery safety is guaranteed is not a problem.
Sales and vitality of good zero-run cars
According to the planning of zero-run cars, CTC technology will first be installed on the zero-run C01 model. On April 26, zero-run cars officially released more news about C01. The news shows that the new car is positioned as a medium and large pure electric car, the length of more than 5 meters, up to 5050mm, CLTC endurance of 717km, equipped with a dual oil-cooled electric drive assembly, the maximum output power of up to 400kW, it is reported that the 100 km acceleration can enter the 3-second club, in addition to the powerful power system, and the wind resistance coefficient of 0.226Cd should also be related.
Zero-run cars currently have three models on sale, of which zero-run T03 is the main sales force, relevant data show that zero-run cars in 2021 sales reached 43121 units, of which zero-run T03 sales reached 38463 units; in December 2021, zero-run C11 was listed, as a new SUV product with zero-run high-end, zero-run C11 achieved good market performance after listing, and data pointed out that its cumulative sales in the first quarter of this year reached 7791 vehicles. The performance of the 200,000-level new energy SUVs is remarkable.
In March, the sales of zero-run cars reached 10,059 units, an increase of 193% month-on-month, and the cumulative sales of 1-3 months reached 21,579 vehicles, a cumulative increase of 410% year-on-year, which has a place in the new forces of car manufacturing, and the sales growth rate is good, representing the vitality of the brand.
Auto Network Review: The trend is good, the challenge is the same
With the release of CTC technology and the new flagship sedan C01 that will be released later, the vitality of zero-run cars should be higher and sales will rise super high. But at the same time, zero-run cars are also facing many challenges, whether it is a traditional main engine factory or a new car-making force in the field of new energy, Changan Deep Blue's C385, BYD seals, Nezha S, etc. are competitors, so whether it can grasp the initiative is crucial.
