Advanced Technology:

The BYD eMAX 7 carries BYD’s global legacy of advanced technology, embodying Blade Battery and the 8-in-1 electric powertrain from the globally acclaimed e-platform 3.0 of BYD. The company’s Blade Battery is one of the most advanced technologies developed globally for electric vehicles. The distinctive feature of the BYD Blade Battery is the arrangement of battery cells in a blade-like formation, which increases the contact area between cells and electrical pathways, resulting in efficient heat transfer. Additionally, this unique design helps reduce the risk in the event of a vehicle collision.

On the other hand, BYD’s 8-in-1 electric powertrain is a system that integrates eight critical components into one, consisting of the motor, motor controller, reducer, on-board charger, DC converter, high-voltage distribution box, vehicle controller, and BMS (Battery Management System). This system is designed to optimise space utilisation and energy efficiency.

Additionally, the BYD eMAX 7 offers customers a range of convenience, and driver assistance features that make it a safe and convenient family car. The vehicle packs a range of safety features, including 6 airbags as standard, ABS, EPF, EBD and ADAS to name a few.

The BYD eMAX 7 also takes care of the New Energy needs of its customers with advanced technologies like VTOL and Regenerative braking. Powering a family camping outdoors or using it to power other electric equipment, the VTOL (Vehicle to Load) technology ensures maximum usability of the vehicle.
