Started to manufacture mobile phone batteries in China BYD (BYD) company, plans to launch next year, the first pure electric vehicles. It produces the world’s first dual-mode electric vehicle will be officially launched in China this year.
Last year, the United States Warren Buffett stake in the Hong Kong-listed BYD, to 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, or 200 million 30 million U.S. dollars (about 300 million 49.22 million dollars) bought 10% stake in BYD. Buffett’s BYD shares the name of one night to become the world’s financial news focus. Buffett’s shares to the company’s development of electric vehicles has injected new impetus.
LIU Zhen-yu, general manager of BYD Auto has an exclusive interview, pointed out that electric cars only in the price of oil rose to 140 U.S. dollars a barrel when the only market in less than 30 U.S. dollars would be no market.
Liu Zhenyu, said: “But we can not wait until the oil rose to 140 U.S. dollars a barrel began to develop, so the market would not yours.”
He said the first batch of dual-mode electric vehicle BYD object was sold to government agencies, government agencies because the parking concentrated, BYD can be installed in the garage charging electric pile. He believed that use of electric vehicles to consumers now there are many facilities, limitations , because China’s housing, public car parks are not charging the electric pile. This requires the support of national policy, but also takes time.
The Chinese government has put the development of electric cars as a national strategy to promote the hope that through the development of electric vehicles, accounting for a place in the world automobile industry. Last year, China approved by the Shenzhen Science and Technology as an experimental city of electric vehicles, and the inclusion of “Eleventh Five-Year” (2006-2010) energy-saving and new energy plan. BYD headquarters in Shenzhen, its development and production of electric vehicles are also in Shenzhen.
BYD was founded in 1995, is a private enterprise. Listed in Hong Kong in 2002, is now the world’s second-largest battery manufacturers. In 2003, BYD bought in Xian Qin Chuan Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., later renamed BYD Auto Co., Ltd. Since then, entered the automotive industry.
Has introduced dual-mode electric vehicles can use electricity, you can also use petrol-driven, electric charge as long as the pile 10 minutes, the average family plug-in to seven hours.
Liu Zhenyu, said: “Any new products, market acceptance out there is a process, it is now felt that this car is very strange, but the real money or not to buy more. There are many reasons, first of all maintenance is a new field, now be able to maintain dual-mode electric vehicles point of almost no maintenance; followed by the charge, and now there is no parking charge pile, you can not pull wires out of charge from their homes, so unrealistic. ”
In his view, to popularize electric vehicles, in addition to policy support, but also need to establish a series of infrastructure. For example, in the building to the electric vehicle charging station electric pile, residential area parking lot, public parking lot should have such facilities.
“Right now the reality is that more government agencies, companies, because they have their own parking lot, construction, electric pile easier.” LIU Zhen-yu said that this year will be government agencies to provide thousands of BYD dual-mode vehicles, electric vehicles.
Turning to the prospects for electric vehicles, he said: “Now there are significant limitations to the promotion, which have a direct relationship with the international oil prices. If oil prices rose again to 140 U.S. dollars a barrel, then the promotion of electric vehicles will soon. because we can not afford to burn gas, and only go to cheaper electricity. If oil prices below 30 dollars, consumers will definitely burning oil. For users, security, the price is the most important factor for consideration. We have to follow the market direction. ”
Looking to the future market for electric vehicles, he said the next five to ten years in China, and even the world’s auto industry will be placed in what position, it will depend on oil prices. As a BYD, “First, we did not give up the production of traditional cars, this is a very important one. The second vehicle when the user from the traditional dual-mode electric vehicles into the process of using acer zatravelmate 250 series battery ,acer zatravelmate 260 battery,acer zatravelmate 280 battery technology reserve to do well. Only the time is ripe , we have a product to market. “
