BAW EV Model Families

List of BAW EV model families - only all-electric (BEV) models are listed:

BAW EV Technology

Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof

E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute

OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable

Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.

Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots

About BAW

BAW, short for Beijing Automobile Works, is a Chinese vehicle manufacturer with a long history in both civilian and military vehicle production. Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Beijing, BAW was one of China's earliest automotive companies, originally producing utility and off road vehicles for government and commercial use. Today, BAW has repositioned itself as a modern new energy vehicle brand, focusing on rugged electric utility models and compact EVs designed for both urban and off road environments.

After undergoing ownership restructuring in the 2020s, BAW now operates independently from BAIC Group, allowing greater flexibility in design, technology sourcing, and market strategy. The company has since introduced a new generation of electric vehicles under the "Yueye" and "Calorie" names, which combine compact dimensions with distinctive styling and practical range for urban commuting. These models appeal to consumers seeking affordable, characterful electric transport with functional capability.

BAW leverages partnerships with Chinese battery suppliers and drivetrain specialists to integrate modern lithium ion systems, intelligent control modules, and fast charging support into its platforms. The brand's new electric vehicles are developed with modular chassis designs that can accommodate both passenger and light commercial applications, giving BAW the flexibility to serve diverse market segments while maintaining cost efficiency.

With production facilities in Shandong and other regions, BAW is rebuilding its presence in China's competitive EV landscape through a focus on design differentiation and functional electrification. Its blend of heritage, practical engineering, and new energy innovation positions BAW as a niche but growing player in China's evolving electric mobility market.
