It produces various vehicles, including battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and conventional petrol-powered ones. Additionally, the company also makes battery-electric transit buses, coaches, vans and trucks.
BYD is believed to be one of the largest electric and plug-in hybrid car makers in the world. Interestingly, BYD partnered up with Daimler AG in 2010, establishing a joint venture called Denza. Denza makes luxury electric vehicles. BYD has also joined hands with Toyota to jointly develop electric vehicles.
BYD recently entered the Indian market with its all-electric E6. However, the MPV is exclusively available for business and commercial usage. Also, the brand is likely to make its debut in the passenger car market.
