Coming
to the Norway export, the consignment marks the company’s entry into the
competitive European passenger car market, with a product which combines BYD’s
very latest battery and NEV technology with European design and specification
appeal.
The
BYD brand is already firmly established in Scandinavia, and across Europe, as
the market-leading manufacturer of electric buses for the public transport
sector.
BYD’s
first consignment of passenger cars for Norway also signals the ‘start of the
European dream’ for BYD at a strategically important time when sales of NEVs begin
to surge in key markets right across Europe. BYD is also confident that its
unique selling-point – the commitment to designing and manufacturing only
pure-electric, zero-emissions cars– demonstrates an important distinction from
conventional European car makers, underlining the company’s unwavering focus on
environmental sustainability for customers. BYD has built a world-renowned
reputation as a pioneer in the development of batteries and battery technology,
with a 26-year history of delivering safe, reliable products.
The
first shipment of 100 pure-electric BYD Tang all-wheel-drive SUVs set sail on June
7, 2021, from the Port of Shanghai, scheduled to arrive at dealerships in Norway
towards the end of summer. BYD has partnered the foremost Scandinavian car
distributor, RSA, to deliver sales, service back-up and parts distribution,
drawing on its world-class expertise and proven track record in supporting many
leading automotive brands in Norway via its extensive dealer network.
In a further demonstration of BYD’s commitment
to Norway, and to wider European markets, BYD has confirmed it will supply a
total of 1500 Tang SUVs to the BYD / RSA supply chain in Norway before the end
of 2021.
