BYD’s production prowess.
A recent teardown of the BYD Atto 3 in Japan has highlighted the impressive cost-saving strategies employed by BYD, leaving many industry experts in awe.
One of the most significant factors contributing to BYD’s cost-effective production is vertical integration. BYD manufactures most of its components in-house, including batteries, motors, and other critical parts. This strategy reduces dependency on external suppliers and cuts costs significantly
Another standout feature of BYD’s cost-effective production is the use of integrated components, particularly the 8-in-1 E-Axle. This innovative system integrates eight key components into a single unit: the motor, inverter, reducer, onboard AC charger, DC-to-DC converter, battery monitoring system, drive motor, and transmission.
BYD’s approach to design also contributes to its cost-effective production. The company focuses on using fewer parts and standardizing components across different models. This strategy reduces the complexity of assembly and minimizes the need for specialized tools and equipment.
