Part 4/7:
What sets the Bedrock chassis apart is its sophisticated construction that integrates various materials and advanced engineering techniques. Using submarine-grade, hot-formed steel and aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, CATL has designed a robust structure that absorbs 85% of collision energy, compared to an average of just 60% for traditional chassis designs.
In terms of potential risks, the battery's thermal runaway protection is crucial. Within 0.2 seconds of impact, the high voltage circuit can disconnect, forestalling any chances of fire from spreading through the battery system. This safety innovation positions the Bedrock chassis as a game changer in emergency situations.
