BYD Company

China's BYD said on Thursday it is entering the Greek passenger car market with the launch of two models, the latest move from the electric vehicle giant to expand in Europe.

Data from a Japanese auto industry association show that China overtook Japan as the world's largest vehicle exporter last year.

The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association reported Japan exported 4.42 million vehicles in 2023, up 16 percent from a year earlier, while domestic auto sales totaled nearly 4.78 million vehicles.

A tender for the purchase of another 100 electric buses (12 meters long with an autonomy of 135 kilometers) has been declared void after the offer by the sole bidder, China's BYD, was deemed not to meet requirements, according to a decision signed by Transport Minister Christos Staikouras.

You are definitely living under a rock if you haven't heard that many cities in China are suffering from record-breaking pollution levels. If you're a hardcore regular of CleanTechnica, you also know that electric buses have been selling like hotcakes in China. The EV-loving city Shenzhen is taking it one step further.
