BYD Launches Electric Trucks and Van in Europe

BYD has released in Spain three zero-emission commercial vehicle production lines specially designed for fleet customers in Europe. BYD E-trucks and e-van are already sold in China, but not yet available to European customers. The first trucks BYD is bring to Europe consisted of BYD T6 light truck,the Q1M Yard Tractor specially designed for airport, port and distribution center and electric van T3. They are the beginning of the full range of 100 percent electric light and heavy-duty commercail vehicles to be rolled out in coming years.

Isbrand Ho, Managing Director, of BYD Europe, said:

“This is a highly significant step for BYD – the introduction of a whole range of proven and competitive zero emission vehicles spanning key sectors of the commercial vehicle sector. Our previous pure electric products have cemented their position in their respective categories – taxis, city buses (we are now the market leader in Europe and have recently produced our 50,000th ebus worldwide) and forklifts (this year we expect to have completed deliveries of 3,000 units to European customers). We are confident that this fourth product range – etrucks – will also win sales success even though the European CV sector is intensely competitive.”
