BYD is introducing battery-electric vehicles based on its new e-Plaltform 3.0, as well as CTB (Cell-to-Body) technology that allows a higher integration level of the blade battery and the vehicle body. The cell-to-body integrated design makes the vehicle’s torsional rigidity exceed 40,000 N·m/° and contributes to upgrading the safety standard for the whole vehicle further, so that the upper limit for the fuel-engined vehicles becomes the lower limit of the electric vehicles.

According to the data provided by CPCA, these DM-i models represented more than 50% of the market share in the fields of Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles in the first half of 2022.
