How safe are byd cars？
We can look at the specific safety performance of BYD cars in terms of their body structure, safety features, and battery safety:
1. Body structure
BYD models use a large number of high-strength steel, and the proportion of high-strength steel used in some models exceeds 70%. High-strength steel has high tensile strength and yield strength, and can effectively resist deformation in the event of a collision, absorbing and dispersing collision energy to provide solid protection for vehicle occupants. For example, BYD Tang uses high-strength steel and hot-formed steel, with high compressive strength and collision resistance.
2. Safety Configurations
BYD cars are equipped with more abundant airbags, like BYD Han all standard equipped with 11 airbags, can be in the vehicle in the event of a collision, for the front and rear occupants to provide effective collision protection.
BYD cars are equipped with driver assistance technology: equipped with intelligent driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking. Adaptive cruise control can automatically maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front within a certain speed range, reducing driver fatigue; lane departure warning system can remind the driver to correct the direction when the vehicle unconsciously deviates from the lane, avoiding accidents caused by lane departure; automatic emergency braking system can automatically intervene to implement emergency braking when a collision is about to occur, reducing the risk of collision.
BYD has basic active safety features such as ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic brake force distribution system and ESP electronic stability program.
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), which comes standard on BYD vehicles, is capable of monitoring the tire pressure of all four tires in real time. When the air pressure of any tire exceeds the set threshold, the system can alert the driver through sound, light and vision, avoiding accidents such as tire blowouts due to abnormal tire pressure and guaranteeing driving safety.
3. Battery safety
Blade batteries are an important BYD innovation with a high level of safety. The long strip structure design of the blade battery makes the heat spread faster when the battery is short-circuited, reducing the risk of thermal runaway. At the same time, the blade battery has passed the stringent pin-prick test, and has shown good safety in the test, even if it is punctured, it will not catch fire or explode.
BYD's new energy vehicles use multiple protective measures for the battery pack, including high-temperature insulation, overcharging protection, over-discharging protection, etc., to ensure that the batteries can operate safely under various circumstances. And in the event of vehicle collision and other accidents, the battery management system can respond in time to implement high-voltage power-off protection and other strategies to avoid secondary accidents in the battery.
4.Strict Testing and Verification
BYD vehicles undergo rigorous crash tests during the design and production process, including frontal collision, side collision, rollover test and tests under various extreme working conditions. These tests ensure the safety performance of the vehicles in various actual crash situations, and its models have achieved excellent results in a number of authoritative safety tests at home and abroad. For example, the BYD Seal received a five-star safety rating in the C-NCAP safety crash test and passed the “electric safety” evaluation; the BYD atto3 (Yuan PLUS) received a five-star rating in the European E-NCAP crash test.
