1. Focus on CTB Technology: further improve the structural compactness and chassis performance of electric vehicles Byd Company Limited(002594) ctb (cellto body) technology benchmarking Tesla CTC (cellto chasis) combines the upper cover of the battery with the floor of the vehicle body, and arranges the blade batteries in a honeycomb structure, which further realizes lightweight while ensuring the structural strength, and improves the space, safety, maneuverability and other aspects. 1) Safety: the structural strength of frontal collision / side collision of vehicles equipped with CTB technology is increased by 50% / 45% respectively; 2) 10mm space for the interior of the CTB: it not only frees up space for the chassis upgrade, but also provides space for the CTB technology. 3) Handling and comfort: CTB technology greatly improves the steering stiffness of the vehicle (the steering stiffness of the seal exceeds 40000 N.m / °), which makes the vehicle more stable during steering and reduces body shaking under bumpy conditions.
2. Seal benchmarking: compared with model 3, it has advantages in size and price. 1) Size: the length / wheelbase of seal is 4800mm / 2920mm respectively, significantly exceeding 4694mm / 2875mm of model 3; 2) Performance & Pricing: the price of the entry-level model of the seal (rear drive + 550km range) is 212800, and the price of the top model (4WD + 650km range) is 289800. The whole series of seals will form a misplaced competition against the entry-level model of Tesla Model3 (rear drive + 556km range, pricing 279900). The product positioning of the seal is relatively clear. According to the company’s plan, the second half of this year E3 0 platform is also expected to launch an A00 car “Seagull” and a B-class SUV “sea lion”. We are optimistic that Byd Company Limited(002594) will continue to realize its technical and brand advantages in the field of electric vehicles.
