According to multiple sources, BYD expects to shortly begin producing at least 300,000 EVs each month at its numerous sites in China and other countries. As a result of this increase in manufacturing, BYD is speeding up its plan for international expansion.
These statements from BYD that it is introducing one of its new EVs in a different new market seem to come every week lately. This is fantastic since, at this rate, electric automobiles will soon be widely accessible in more regions of the world.
The Atto 3, one of the standout models in BYD’s new array of electric vehicles, was introduced in more regions this week. India, Nepal, and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic all saw the release of the lauded Atto 3.
Here are some details on the Atto 3. A tiny, reasonably priced SUV, the ATTO 3 is also known as the BYD Yuan Plus in China and the Atto 3 abroad. It has:
310 N.m of torque and 150 kW Maximum speed of 160 km/h; range of 320 km; 50.12 kWh (LFP) BYD Blade battery (WLTP) The ATTO 3 also comes in a long range variant. A 60.48 kWh battery powers it.
One of the first “retail” or direct-to-consumer” EVs to be sold in India is the Atto 3. Currently, fleet operators in India are buying the BYD E6. The nation’s capital’s first BYD Han EV was delivered to the Prime Minister’s Office of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic in Vientiane was last year. It was delivered by MOK, a regional dealer for BYD. Both MOK CEO Mango Wan and Minister and Head of the Prime Minister’s Office Khamjane Vongphosy were present at the delivery ceremony.
BYD is now shipping the Atto 3 to Laos. In an effort to limit the import of fossil fuels and the nation’s emissions, the Lao PDR government issued a new policy to promote the adoption of electric vehicles last year. The EV industry in Nepal is also growing thanks to encouraging government legislation. Electric vehicle dealers are quoted by The Kathmandu Post as saying that, in addition to zero excise and reduced customs charges, auto loans from banks and financial organizations covering up to 80% of the cost of the automobile have increased purchasers’ confidence.
The Atto 3 has already been introduced in a number of nations, including Israel, Cambodia, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and many others.
It’s fantastic to see one of the industry leaders introduce one of its latest models to more regions of the world. People can only purchase what is readily available to them, thus BYD’s efforts should be applauded. BYD has demonstrated that it is eager and ready to sell its reasonably priced EVs in developing countries and other locations where other EV brands are currently unable or unable to go. We eagerly anticipate learning which market BYD will enter next!
