AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/08 Report--

Recently, according to the latest figures released by BYD, BYD sold 56975 passenger cars in July, up 89.4% from a year earlier, of which BYD sold 50057 new energy vehicles, up 262.7% from the same period last year, while fuel vehicle sales were 6918, down 5.96% from a year earlier.

While BYD's new energy vehicles have repeatedly reached new highs, BYD's new energy vehicle accidents are also constantly exposed. According to a video circulating online about BYD's fire, it was raining late that night, and a BYD Han was burning by the side of the road, illuminating the light-colored body and emitting a lot of smoke.

Earlier, the incident in which BYD EV collided with polar fox Alpha S for 48 hours on a car platform sparked a heated debate, so BYD Han was reported to have caught fire again. However, at that time, some netizens thought that they could only wait for the follow-up and did not know whether the car would burn the battery or the battery, so don't jump to conclusions without figuring out the cause of the incident. Some netizens also think that it may be caused by man-made, because the fire broke out in the case of rain.

As for the cause of the fire? According to an online "communication withdrawal letter", it has been verified that there were no casualties in the accident. The traffic police certificate shows that when the owner was driving the vehicle, the car fell into a sewer and caught fire, causing partial damage to the vehicle. The owner of the car fails to drive safely in accordance with the operating regulations and bears full responsibility for the accident. To sum up, the accident was caused by improper driving, not by the quality of the vehicle itself.

In addition to the accident, there was also a BYD fire yesterday. On the afternoon of August 7, a BYD D1 caught fire in Suzhou. The video showed that the fire was in the front cabin, and no one was in the car after the fire, the fire spread rapidly, and the front hatch seemed to be burned through. After the fire engine rushed to put out the fire with double high-pressure water guns, the fire was brought under control, and the scene was covered with smoke and covered up the scene of the accident. Then there was an explosion, and flames and jets burst out of the smoke.

It is understood that BYD D1, a model jointly built by BYD and Didi, was officially launched on March 19 this year, with a total price of 151800 yuan after subsidy. At present, it plans to open sales only to Didi registered ride-hailing drivers. The side of the body is the biggest feature of the car, which adopts an asymmetric door opening mode, with a single door on the left side and a side sliding door on the right side of the car body. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4390, 1850 and 1650mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2800 mm.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) of TZ180XSA, independently developed by BYD, with a maximum power of 100kW (136hp). At the same time, the new car will be equipped with lithium iron phosphate blade batteries with a range of 418km under NEDC conditions.

According to the multi-view video posted by netizens, the battery compartment of the car chassis did not catch fire, and it is almost certain that many batteries caused the vehicle fire. As to whether the vehicle fire is caused by the vehicle or external reasons, we still need to wait for the official announcement.
