During the AVATR Spring Conference on March 29, 2024, AVATR and CATL, in strategic partnership with Changan and Huawei, jointly announced the adoption of CATL's Panshi high-safety skateboard chassis (commonly known as “Panshi chassis”) by AVATR, making AVATR the world's first new energy brand to embrace this cutting-edge technology. The Panshi chassis sets a new safety standard for Chinese new energy vehicles, boasting the remarkable ability to withstand a frontal collision at a speed of 120 km/h without causing any fire or explosion.

Distinguished as the world's first pure electric chassis technology solution with ultra-high safety standards, the Panshi chassis leverages Integrated Intelligent Chassis and CTC technical innovations to absorb over 80% of vehicle collision energy. It has demonstrated the remarkable ability to withstand a frontal collision at a speed of 120 km/h without causing any fire or explosion, surpassing the five-star rating for frontal collision at a speed of 56 km/h in the Global NCAP crash test.

As the recipient of the major scientific research project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China on “High-safety All-weather Integrated Intelligent Chassis”, the Panshi chassis achieves enhanced chassis group efficiency through CTC technology, significantly elevating safety performance from architectural design. It fully supports 5C supercharging from the battery system to vehicle high-voltage system to thermal management system, and integrates the latest battery technologies from CATL, including multi-level active and passive safety protection, high-voltage safety technology, and NP2.0 non-thermal diffusion technology, thereby ensuring the safe application of batteries from the source.

Chen Zhuo, President of AVATR, expressed, “The Panshi chassis will achieve an epoch-making technological breakthrough through this cooperation. We will accelerate the process of bringing the ultimate safety + ultimate intelligence experience to AVATR customers.”

Yang Hanbing, General Manager of CATL Intelligent Tech, emphasized, “Top safety is the key to luxury. We will provide AVATR with a solid safety foundation, helping AVATR build a world-class luxury brand based on ultimate safety, and allowing Chinese vehicles to truly define a new luxury standard in the new energy era.”

Looking ahead, CATL, Changan, and AVATR are committed to continuously deepening their strategic cooperation, further propelling the new energy vehicle industry towards a safer, smarter, and more environment-friendly future.
