JAKARTA - After officially attending Indonesia at the beginning of the year and announcing the price at the IIMS event, Build Your Dreams (BYD) began to open the advantages of various technologies embedded in electric cars.

Tatsuya Mikami, Chief Advisor of BYD Auto Japan, said BYD's innovation in battery technology embodied in Blade Battery and the Cell-to-Body concept that forms a revolutionary foundation in the world of electric mobility.

"Blade battery presents an optimal balance between power, security, and efficiency, setting new standards for electric vehicle batteries. Meanwhile, the Cell-to-Body approach brings the battery cells directly to the body structure, maximizes space efficiency, improves security, and creates lighter and more environmentally friendly vehicles," he said, in an official statement received, Monday, February 26.

More details of Cell-to-body (CTB) and cell-to-pack (CTP) in e-platform 3.0 for sustainable mobility that includes three important things, namely Blade Battery, 8-in-1 powertrain, and thermal management control, which are used in BYD Dolphin, BYD Atto 3, and BYD Seal.

Meanwhile, there are two battery installation structures on e-platform 3.0, namely cell-to-pack (CTP) and cell-to-body (CTB). BYD adopts a way of installing CTP on BYD Dolphin and BYD Atto units while for CTB it is adopted for BYD Seal units.

Installation of CTP is collected into a pack (structure) with plates or panels added (covers) before being installed to e-platform 3.0, while CTB is directly fitted to e-platform 3.0 without any additional panels. In addition, CTB power is larger by using more batteries because the battery is directly integrated with the body of the car. As a result, this condition makes the availability 25 percent of space larger than CTP and produces a larger level of security. Meanwhile, the installation of CTP is able to support EV power with more powerful performance.

All types of CTP and CTB have passed the European standard safety test by achieving the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) of five stars. This proves that the EV BYD safety level using CTP and CTB is tested and proven safe, thus being able to increase public confidence in the use of EV BYD. Especially for BYD Seal, CTB serves to improve performance and balance in acceleration.

Furthermore, in terms of battery lies, it is claimed that they have gone through several years of study, research to development and the results provide new levels of security, durability, and performance, as well as increasing the use of battery space.

Another advantage of Blade Battery, which looks like a knife array, is the use of Lithium Iron-PHosphate (LFP) as cathode material, providing a much higher level of safety than conventional lithium-ion batteries.

One of the crucial aspects of electric vehicles is the battery system. After going through years of study, research, and development, BYD has produced Blade Battery which presents new levels of security, durability, and performance, as well as increased battery space utilization.

Another advantage of Blade Battery, which looks like a knife array, is the use of Lithium Iron-PHosphate (LFP) as cathode material, providing a much higher level of security than conventional lithium-ion batteries. LFP naturally has excellent thermal stability and is substantially cobalt-free.
