CATL has revolutionized the automotive safety landscape with the unveiling of its Bedrock Chassis, the world’s first ultra-safe skateboard chassis. Designed with an innovative battery-centered approach, this chassis is capable of withstanding a 120 km/h frontal impact without catching fire or exploding. This remarkable achievement surpasses existing industry safety benchmarks, with traditional safety tests capped at speeds of 56 km/h. Through groundbreaking integration and material technology, CATL’s Bedrock Chassis absorbs 85% of collision energy, redefining safety standards and offering comprehensive protection in all scenarios.
The Bedrock Chassis incorporates three technological breakthroughs to enhance safety and durability. Its three-dimensional biomimetic tortoise shell structure and aircraft carrier-grade arresting system effectively distribute and absorb impact forces, reducing damage to passengers and the vehicle. The use of submarine-grade steel and aerospace-grade aluminum alloys ensures exceptional strength and rigidity. Advanced battery safety measures, including high-voltage disconnection within 0.01 seconds and stringent impact and bending tests, further fortify the chassis, setting a new standard for electric vehicle safety.
Beyond safety, the Bedrock Chassis paves the way for a new era in vehicle design and production efficiency. It allows for modularity, customization, and intelligent features, significantly reducing development cycles and costs. Its scalable architecture supports multiple vehicle models and intelligent driving capabilities. The partnership with AVATR highlights the practical implementation of this technology, promising safer and more efficient travel. CATL’s innovation underscores its commitment to enhancing safety and advancing the electric vehicle market.
