Attention is being drawn to BYD's off-road brand Fangchengbao, as its large SUV, the "Bao 8" (known overseas as the Denza B8), was captured driving on three wheels while a wheel clamp (wheel lock device) remained attached. The incident has been spreading primarily through Chinese social media.
According to the released video, the Bao 8 continued driving with its front passenger-side wheel lifted into the air on a two-lane commercial road in Xianshan Town, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. In particular, the raised front wheel was fitted with a metal parking enforcement wheel clamp featuring a red and yellow color scheme, drawing significant attention from surrounding parked vehicles and pedestrians.
The video is being evaluated as a scene that evokes the capabilities of BYD's hydraulic body control system, "DiSus-P Ultra," which the company previously demonstrated at its proving ground (test track) in May. At the time, during a demonstration for the unveiling of the Bao 8 Flash Charge Edition, BYD showcased technology that allows individual wheels to be lifted independently, tires to be replaced without a standard jack, and low-speed driving on three wheels (with a maximum speed limit of 15 km/h). DiSus-P Ultra supports a suspension adjustment stroke of up to 200 mm, an individual wheel lift height of up to 300 mm, and a maximum lifting capacity of 9 tons.
However, with such driving footage captured in a general public road environment rather than a test track, concerns regarding safety have also been raised, including potential violations of safety regulations and China's Road Traffic Safety Law. It has not yet been confirmed whether the vehicle's operation led to official enforcement action or specific legal violations.
