With the booming development of the new energy vehicle industry, safety has always been the focus of consumers, manufacturers and regulators. With the continuous progress of technology and the intensification of market competition, how to improve the safety of vehicles while ensuring performance has become a key problem that major car companies and parts suppliers urgently need to solve. Recently, CATL released the Bedrock chassis technology, which has set a new safety benchmark for the new energy vehicle industry with its excellent safety performance. China Exportsemi will deeply discuss the technical highlights, experimental verification, market impact and industry significance of CATL's rock chassis.
Technological breakthrough: Superior safety performance of the Rock chassis
The biggest highlight of CATL's Bedrock chassis is its excellent safety performance. According to CATL's official and third-party authoritative CAERI test data, the Bedrock chassis can ensure that the vehicle does not catch fire or explode in the frontal crash test of 120km/h, which far exceeds the current safety standards in the industry.

The reason why the Bedrock chassis can achieve such a high level of safety performance is mainly due to its unique design concept and advanced material application. First of all, the Bedrock chassis adopts the "three-dimensional bionic tortoiseshell structure", which is inspired by the design of the tortoiseshell in nature, and by simulating the mechanical characteristics of the tortoiseshell, the body and the energy cabin structure are integrated to form a strong protection system. At the same time, the Bedrock chassis also introduces the "aircraft carrier-type blocking structure", which can decelerate step by step in the event of a collision, effectively absorb and disperse the collision energy, thereby reducing the intrusion speed and protecting the safety of the occupants.
In addition, the Bedrock chassis has also put a lot of effort into the selection of materials. It uses high-strength materials such as "submarine-grade hot-stamping steel and aerospace-grade aluminum alloy", which not only have excellent mechanical properties, but also can maintain stable performance in extreme environments, further improving the support strength and impact resistance of the chassis.
Experimental verification: Crash tests that far exceed industry standards
In order to verify the safety performance of the Bedrock chassis, CATL cooperated with CAERI to conduct a number of rigorous crash tests. The test results show that at a speed of 120km/h, the test car equipped with the Bedrock chassis successfully achieved no fire and no explosion in the 100% frontal crash test, which not only demonstrates the excellent safety of the Bedrock chassis, but also far exceeds the global NCAP five-star safety speed standard of 56km/h.
It is important to note that the industry standard C-NCAP crash test speed is only 56 km/h, and the collision energy generated when a frontal crash test is performed at this speed is already considerable. The 120 km/h frontal crash test produced 4.6 times more collision energy than the 56 km/h test. This means that the Bedrock chassis is still able to maintain excellent safety performance in the face of tougher crash conditions.
In addition, CATL also conducted a center pillar impact test on the Bedrock chassis, which simulated the collision of the vehicle with non-standard objects such as power poles, trees, and animals. Since the bearing area of the central column impact test is only 1/6 of that of a frontal collision, the collision pressure increases exponentially. However, even under these extreme conditions, the Bedrock chassis still exhibits excellent safety performance.
Strategic cooperation: AVATR became the first brand
The release of CATL's Bedrock chassis has not only attracted wide attention from the industry, but also attracted the favor of many car companies. Among them, AVATR Technology, as an important partner of CATL, took the lead in adopting Bedrock chassis technology. This cooperation not only deepens the strategic relationship between the two parties, but also brings higher safety and quality assurance to AVATAR's products.

Chen Zhuo, President of AVATR Technology, said in an interview that the cooperation with CATL will accelerate the experience of bringing users the ultimate security + extreme intelligence. He emphasized that AVATR will rely on CATL's rock-rock chassis technology to continuously improve the safety performance and intelligence level of its products, and bring users a safer, more comfortable and more convenient travel experience.
Yang Hanbing, managing director of CATL (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., also said that CATL's Bedrock chassis has achieved world-leading ultra-high safety performance through the decoupling design of the upper and lower car bodies and the innovation of multi-level safety technology. He believes that the Bedrock chassis is highly compatible with the brand tonality of AVATR Technology's high-value, high-tech and high-value brand, and the two sides will work closely on the new model to jointly bring users a safer, more comfortable and futuristic travel experience.
