BYD is a Chinese manufacturer, which carried out one of the most unusual durability tests in recent years, repeatedly dropping a multi-ton real palm tree on the roof of its electric SUV, in three successive falls, from progressively greater heights, the objective was simple and direct to measure the structural capacity of the vehicle to absorb extreme energy without compromising the safety of the cabin.

The maximum impact recorded reached 50.4 4 kjoules, equivalent, according to technical comparisons, to the fall of an air conditioning unit from the top of a 40-story building. Now, after the test, the engineers verified that the interior remained intact, no critical deformation, no column collapse, no failure at the load points.

For a new energy SUV, the result matters not only as a demonstration, but as engineering validation, the model in question is the YangWang that incorporates Blade batteries integrated into the chassis using CGC technology, increasing structural resistance.

It is this architecture that helps explain why the roof did not collapse even under such unusual loads. In addition to strength, the vehicle features complementary capabilities that expand its safety and autonomy profile. Barillantes offer around 1,000 km under the CLTC cycle, while functions such as emergency flotation for up to 30 minutes and control, even after tire blowout, reinforce its high-level all-terrain proposal.

The VTL system with 6 kW allows you to power external equipment for up to 25 hours, transforming the SUV into a mobile energy source. The video intended to impress ends up revealing something more solid. BYG transitions engineering that combines electrification, structural safety and advanced body control.
