Fleets trial Chinese electric vehicles from BYD

Date: 03 July 2013   |   Author: Rachel Burgess

Chinese car manufacturer BYD is trialling its e6 electric vehicles with a number of fleet operators in the coming months. The right-hand drive cars have the longest range of any new electric car in the UK at 186 miles, claimed the brand.

The 50-strong fleet will be run by a range of businesses including private hire operations, which will allow passengers to experience them, said BYD.

Isbrand Ho, managing director of BYD Europe, added: "We are very excited with the arrival of our e6 pure electric cars in the UK. The e6 has zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution, and also benefits from significantly lower running costs than conventional petrol or diesel cars.

"The model is well-proven, having driven over 14 million miles in key global markets."

BYD, which specialises in green energy technologies in the IT, automotive and new energy industries, started producing cars in 2003.
