CATL unveils Bedrock skateboard chassis | Cell to Chassis | Claims 120km/hr beforehand rod interaction safety
CATL has unveiled a skateboard chassis called the Bedrock Chassis, which emphasizes information and envisions a aboriginal successful which exterior plan is highly customizable by customers.
The Chinese powerfulness artillery elephantine introduced the Bedrock Chassis astatine an successful Shanghai today, calling it the world's archetypal ultra-safe skateboard chassis.
Key quality is that this tin grip a 120km/hr beforehand rod impact, this is 4.6 times higher interaction vigor compared to the a GNCAP 56km/hr frontal interaction test.
The chassis is susceptible of absorbing 85 percent of the vehicle's collision energy, overmuch higher than the accepted chassis absorbing astir 60 percent of the energy, according to the company.
CATL presented a video astatine today's lawsuit showing a prototype built connected the Bedrock Chassis that did not drawback fire, explode, oregon endure thermal runaway successful a 120 km/h frontal cardinal rod interaction test.
The Bedrock Chassis utilizes a three-dimensional bionic tortoise ammunition operation with the assemblage integrated into the vigor portion framework to supply extortion for the vigor unit.
It uses submarine-grade hot-formed alloy with a spot of 2,000 MPa, aerospace-grade aluminum alloys with a spot of 600 MPa, and aggregate obstruction structures to further heighten chassis rigidity, according to CATL.
In presumption of high-voltage disconnection, it achieves instantaneous disconnection of high-voltage circuits wrong 0.01 seconds aft impact, and completes the residual high-voltage vigor merchandise from the conveyance wrong 0.2 seconds, mounting a caller manufacture record, according to the company.
Beyond precocious safety, the Bedrock Chassis, similar the accepted skateboard chassis, tin importantly amended the ratio of caller exemplary development.
The Bedrock Chassis allows conveyance manufacturers to physique aggregate models based connected a azygous chassis architecture, thereby reducing the clip to mass-produce a conveyance from the accepted 36 months oregon longer to 12-18 months, according to CATL.
Moreover, the chassis breaks done information and styling constraints, expanding plan flexibility done a plan that decouples the chassis from the precocious body.
With the enactment of the chassis, the epoch of uniquely designed vehicles for everyone volition soon come, said CATL.
The Bedrock Chassis besides supports mechanical decoupling and bundle decoupling to recognize L3~L4 intelligent driving capabilities.
