Zhang Zhuo, general manager of BYD Auto Ocean network sales Division, said in a recent interview that BYD is low-key in the field of intelligence, but its strength cannot be underestimated. At present, the company has thousands of intelligent driving team, and invested hundreds of millions of funds, committed to intelligent driving technology research and development and mass production. Zhang Zhuo stressed that BYD adheres to the principle of "release is mass production" and is not satisfied with PPT publicity, but will bring the actual product to the market.
In terms of intelligent driving technology, BYD not only follows up the mainstream "3+2" mode of the industry (that is, longitudinal car following and acceleration and deceleration, as well as lateral lane change, bypass, and evasion), but also further expands to the "5+2" mode, adding "valet parking" and "narrow lane passage" two functions, and is committed to improving the success rate of these functions.
At the same time, Zhang Zhuo said that BYD will continue to play the "low-cost" advantage, and strive to fully carry the self-developed and self-produced intelligent driving system in the next 2 to 3 years in the model of about 150,000 yuan, so that more people can enjoy the convenience of intelligent driving.
In terms of vehicle configuration, BYD also plans to popularize comfortable configuration such as "refrigerator color TV big sofa". Taking the Dolphin model as an example, the future will be equipped with BYD's independent self-developed compressor refrigerator, which supports -6 ° C refrigeration, and has intelligent dual-temperature control, object detection, sterilization and other intelligent functions.
In addition, Zhang Zhuo also revealed the reason why BYD chose the Thai factory as the location of the 8 millionth new energy vehicle. He said that this year is the first year of BYD going to sea, and the Thai factory is the first factory built by BYD overseas, which has important strategic significance. Dolphin model as BYD's stepping stone to the sea, has opened the market in the Asia-Pacific region, sales performance is excellent.
The new BYD Dolphin has been officially listed on July 8, with a price range of 998-129,800 yuan. The model has been upgraded in terms of endurance and power, and the range has been significantly improved, and the power performance is also better. At the same time, the new dolphin continues the style of the old model in terms of exterior and interior design, equipped with a rich intelligent configuration.
Since its listing in 2021, BYD Dolphin has performed well in the domestic A0 market and won the annual sales champion in the domestic A0 market in 2022 and 2023. In the international market, BYD Dolphin has also attracted attention, and has been exported to many countries and regions, and has achieved significant sales results.
