BYD Fielding Electric Vehicles in Hong Kong
29 March 2013
www.chinabuses.org: BYD Company Ltd. is participating in an initiative that could bring down Hong Kong's vehicle emissions by nearly 56 percent.
By introducing e6 pure electric taxis in the region starting this May, BYD will help Hong Kong electrify their public transport system which mostly consists of diesel buses and LPG taxis.
"Hong Kong has been dedicated to promoting green transport for quite some time – electrifying public transportation will not only significantly save costs, but it will dramatically lower the city vehicle emissions and improve air quality, creating a tremendous social impact," said Chuan-fu Wang, chairman and president of BYD Company Limited.
BYD is also collaborating with local industry partners to pursue further developments in electrified public transport in Hong Kong, including electric buses.
BYD is leading manufacturer of advanced, environmentally-friendly battery technologies that has branched into the electric vehicle manufacturing field. The company has developed an industry-leading iron-phosphate battery for use in its electric vehicles and buses.
BYD electric buses are either being tested or on the roads in China, the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Canada, Uruguay and the United States. As of January, BYD received approval from the European Commission for sale of these electric buses in all European Union member states.
