According to BYD Auto News, on April 10th, BYD released a new energy-specific intelligent body control system — — Cloud chariot. The intelligent body control system of Yunqi is developed by BYD, which also indicates that BYD has become a China automobile enterprise that can independently master the intelligent body control system.The product matrix of Yunqi includes Yunqi -C, Yunqi -A, Yunqi -P and other products.
According to Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD, Yunqi is the first exclusive intelligent body control system for new energy in the industry, which not only fills the technical gap in this field in China, but also achieves a breakthrough from 0 to 1, surpassing the technical level of foreign countries and achieving an improvement from 1 to 2.
It is reported that,Yunqi will be carried on the flagship model of BYD Dynasty Ocean, Tengshi, Wangwang and BYD professional personalized brand models.

Nowadays, with the technological upgrading of automobile enterprises in China, many China brands have successively launched their own body control systems, and the Yunqi body control system built by BYD this time is specially designed for new energy vehicles. It is reported that "Yun Che" comes from the Book of Wei, and its name was inspired by the ancient imperial car "Che" in China.
Wang Chuanfu said,Yunqi is the first body system to systematically solve the body control problem in the vertical direction. The system can sense the status of people, vehicles and roads in real time, and can keep the vehicle comfortable under complex road conditions.
It is reported that the architecture of the cloud system covers the perception layer, the decision-making layer and the execution layer, and has the characteristics of intelligent perception, accurate decision-making and efficient execution, which can realize the integration of people, vehicles, roads, clouds and systems, ensure the timeliness and accuracy of vehicle signal acquisition, and make the posture of the car body more stable and the drivers in the car more calm.

In terms of safety, thanks to the application of cloud technology, the overall safety of vehicles will be further improved.In the most extreme case, even if one wheel is lost, the vehicle can still keep running smoothly. Wang Chuanfu revealed.
At the event site, Lian Yubo, executive vice president of BYD Group and president of Automotive Engineering Research Institute, further introduced the characteristics of Yunqi body control system.
It is reported that Yunqi system is divided into Yunqi -A intelligent air body control system, Yunqi -C intelligent damping body control system, Yunqi -P intelligent hydraulic body control system and other system architectures. According to the characteristics of each version, BYD will gradually apply the cloud technology to the ocean models of Dynasty, Tengshi, Wangwang and professional personalized brands.
Not only that, at the end of the event,BYD also specially released an "egg", announced the Yunqi -X system, and conducted a live demonstration through BYD’s million-class luxury models.

Lian Yubo said that the wave of intelligence has brought new technology of vertical direction control, safety is the bottom line and comfort is the high order. The cloud-based system has multiple modules such as cloud-based intelligent detection, cloud-based preview, cloud-based intelligent calculation center and cloud-based intelligent control, which can pass multiple safety certifications and redundant backups in both hardware and software at the same time to ensure the safety of vehicles.
In fact, Yunqi system is not the first core technology independently developed by BYD. Wang Chuanfu revealed that in the 20 years since it entered the new energy vehicle track, BYD has invested 100 billion yuan in research and development, with a team of 69,000 people and 28,000 authorized patents.
In March 2023, BYD sold 207,080 new energy vehicles, compared with 104,878 vehicles in the same period last year. In the first three months, the cumulative sales volume was 552,076 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 92.81%.
It is worth noting that the sales of BYD’s high-end models Tengshi ushered in a breakthrough. In March, Tengshi’s monthly sales exceeded 10,000, reaching 10,398 vehicles, an increase of 42% from the previous month. Tengshi released the first high-end MPV product, Tengshi D9, in May last year, with a pre-sale price of 335,000-460,000 yuan.
BYD also disclosed that in March 2023, 13,312 new energy passenger cars were sold overseas. In March, the total installed capacity of power batteries and energy storage batteries of new energy vehicles was about 9.891GWh, and the total installed capacity in 2023 was about 26.991GWh.
Recently, many senior executives of BYD, including Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu, attended a performance briefing for investors in Hong Kong. During the period, some investors asked whether BYD could replace Volkswagen’s peak position in the era of oil vehicles in the era of electric vehicles becoming mainstream. BYD responded that in 2022, the new energy vehicle market was in short supply, but in 2023, the situation of insufficient production capacity and material shortage was greatly improved, and the industry would enter the knockout stage. In January and February this year, the total market plate decreased year-on-year, but the new energy increased year-on-year, and the company contributed the main increase, and the market share further increased. From the perspective of subsequent development, the company has pricing power at the price of 100,000-200,000 yuan.
In terms of performance, BYD’s recent 2022 performance shows that the company achieved operating income of 424.061 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.2%; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 16.622 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 445.86%; Non-net profit was 15.638 billion yuan, up by 1,146.42% year-on-year, and all core operating data reached record highs.
"Going out to sea" is another highlight of BYD in 2022, and its new energy passenger cars have entered 43 countries and regions such as Japan, Germany, Australia and Brazil.
The person in charge of BYD said that despite the intensified competition in the automobile market this year, the company will continue to maintain a strong growth momentum as Tengshi and Wangwang accelerate the capture of the high-end market, drive BYD’s brand image to continue to rise and further expand its overseas territory.
