BYD secured 5 Second Prizes for National Science and Technology Progress at the 2025 National Science and Technology Awards, becoming the most awarded single automaker in a single session. The awards span five core technology fields: welding, motors, chassis, batteries, and robotics.
Record Breaker: BYD Sweeps 5 National Science and Technology Awards
The results of the 2025 National Science and Technology Awards were recently announced, with BYD winning 5 Second Prizes for National Science and Technology Progress — making it the most awarded automaker at this year's event and setting a new industry record for the number of awards won by a single automaker in a single session.
The five winning achievements span core manufacturing and intelligent technology sectors, specifically covering:
- Intelligent resistance welding control
- High-efficiency motor systems
- Intelligent electric chassis
- Power battery measurement and control
- High-precision collaborative robots
From body welding to motor and chassis architecture, extending to battery management and production robots, these innovations form a complete chain covering the vehicle's "skeleton" and "heart" — demonstrating BYD's deep technological layout across the entire NEV industry chain.
Technical Depth: Five Fields Building a Complete Innovation Chain
BYD's five award-winning achievements demonstrate its comprehensive layout and systematic innovation capabilities in core NEV technologies:
| Technology Field | Award Achievement | Application Value | Industry Chain Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body Manufacturing | Intelligent resistance welding control | Improves welding precision and efficiency, ensuring body strength | Vehicle manufacturing |
| Power System | High-efficiency motor systems | Enhances power output and energy efficiency, reducing consumption | Core tri-electric systems |
| Chassis Architecture | Intelligent electric chassis | Optimizes handling stability and ride comfort | Vehicle integration |
| Battery Management | Power battery measurement and control | Improves safety and consistency, extending lifespan | Core tri-electric systems |
| Smart Manufacturing | High-precision collaborative robots | Increases production line automation and assembly precision | Manufacturing production |
BYD Executive Vice President He Zhiqi stated that the honor reflects the company's profound technical expertise and the persistent efforts of over 120,000 engineers. It also fully demonstrates that the domestic NEV industry is achieving a systematic leap from single-point breakthroughs to comprehensive progress through independent innovation.
- Body welding precision directly affects vehicle safety performance and NVH characteristics
- Every 1% improvement in motor efficiency can increase vehicle range by 3-5%
- Chassis intelligence is a core experience differentiator in the electrification era
- Battery measurement and control technology is directly tied to users' top safety concerns
- Collaborative robots represent the future direction of intelligent automotive manufacturing
Industry Significance: From Single-Point Breakthroughs to Systematic Innovation
BYD's batch breakthrough at national-level science and technology awards marks the Chinese NEV industry's transition from early single-point technology catch-up to a new stage of systematic independent innovation. In the past, China's auto industry relied heavily on foreign technology for core areas like engines and transmissions. Today, on the electrification and intelligence tracks, Chinese brands are building full-chain autonomous capabilities from底层 technology to manufacturing.
This transformation carries profound implications for the global NEV market:
- China's NEV technology autonomy has significantly improved, reducing reliance on external supply chains
- Industry chain innovation has shifted from "follow and imitate" to "compete and lead"
- The foundation for technology export and overseas cooperation has become more solid, providing technical support for global expansion
Market Outlook: Technology Barriers Building Long-Term Competitive Moats
For overseas buyers and dealers, BYD's batch of national science and technology awards is a signal worth serious attention: Chinese NEV companies' competitiveness comes not only from scale and cost advantages but also from continuous accumulation of底层 technology and strength沉淀 of R&D systems.
As the global NEV market shifts from "specification competition" to "reliability competition" and "user experience competition," companies with solid technical foundations and complete innovation chains will gain more sustainable competitive advantages in the global market.
