First images of the BYD Yuan and BYD Song for the Shanghai Auto Show
PUBLISHED ON APRIL 7, 2015 BY JOEY WANG
BYD has released the first official images of the BYD Yuan and BYD Song, two SUV’s scheduled for debut on the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show that starts on April 20. They are called ‘concept cars’ but they are really very close to reality. The blue car is the BYD Yuan, it is the hybrid variant of the petrol-powered BYD S1 sub-compact SUV.
The BYD S1 will be launched on the Chinese car market in the second half of the year, and the Yuan will follow just before year’s end. The hybrid drivetrain will consist of a 1.1 liter four-cylinder petrol engine mated to an electric motor. Total output will be somewhere in the region of 150 horses.
This shiny vehicle is the BYD Song, the hybrid version of the upcoming BYD S3 SUV. The S3 is ready to roll and the production version is expected for debut on the Shanghai show as well, although BYD hasn’t confirmed that yet. The production version of the Song will then debut later in the year, likely on the Chengdu Auto Show in September.
The hybrid drivetrain will consist of a 1.5 liter four-cylinder petrol engine mated to an electric motor. Total output will be somewhere in the region of 200 horses, and we are hearing rumors about an extra racy version with 250 hp, similar in style to the manic BYD Tang Ultimate Edition.

Because BYD is good, so warren buffet choose it, not he choosing it, so BYD is good.
I am very optimistic to BYD, The price of Oil can't be always low, and the pollution abatement also require new energy car, the trend is good to BYD, just time matter, and whether BYD have that patience?!

China could pass US in electric-car market, expert says
Updated: 2015-03-04 11:14
By Lia Zhu in San Francisco (China Daily USA)
China, the world's largest new-car market, is expected to surpass the United States to become the world's largest market for electric vehicles with its dramatically increased sales since the second half of 2014, according to an expert at the University of California-Davis.
China's sales of electric vehicles, including pure battery electric and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), grew fourfold, from 19,713 in 2013 to 84,900 in 2014, thanks to the new and strengthened policies in the country, said Yunshi Wang, co-director of the U.S.-China Zero Emission Vehicle Policy Lab at UC-Davis.
"From the data of last December and January this year, the sales of PEVs in China have surpassed that of the US," he said. "I expect the annual sales in China are likely to leapfrog the US this year."
Wang's lab was established last September between UC-Davis and the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, the administrative body that oversees China's auto industry, to enhance collaboration on clean-vehicle adoption.
Under the five-year memorandum signed between the two sides, the lab is tasked to advise the Chinese local and national governments on the PEV policies of California as well as study the policies' incentive effectiveness and customer demand on car-charging infrastructure.
"California is a leader in promoting new-energy vehicles in the US, and China is very interested in its PEV strategies and zero-emissions policies," Wang said.
Some partnerships have been started between California and major Chinese cities such as Beijing and Guangdong, where California has ongoing collaborations on environmental and carbon cap-and-trade programs, Wang said.
Since last year, some big cities in China have beefed up efforts to encourage people to buy clean-energy vehicles in an effort to reduce carbon emissions, like Beijing's preferential treatment for PEV buyers in an auto-license lottery, and Shanghai's waiver of the license-plate auction fee. China also set a goal that by 2016, 30 percent of all government fleet-vehicle purchased will be electric.
Wang, however, pointed that China's PEV market faces some challenges and barriers, such as local protectionism and a lack of car-charging infrastructure.
"There are more than 100 traditional automobile manufacturers in China, and cities and provinces have been creating a variety of barriers to protect their local PEV manufacturers while disfavoring car makers from other cities and regions," he said.
The removal of regional protectionism will help increase sales of electric vehicles in China, said Wang, who used the example of BYD Co Ltd, a Chinese manufacturer of automobiles and rechargeable batteries based in Shenzhen.
"When Shanghai allowed BYD to enter its market, we saw a dramatic increase in sales of electric vehicles," Wang said.
"So far, imported electric vehicles do not enjoy the government's preferential policies, so domestic auto manufacturers can be protected," he said. "From our perspective, we believe such 'national protectionism' would be phased out in the future, and only two to three national automobile manufacturers will remain."
Another challenge is a lack of charging facilities. Wang said his lab and a Shanghai automobile research center collaborated last year. According to their initial findings, 95 percent of the survey respondents expressed a desire for electric vehicles, as the electricity bill is only a quarter to half of the gas expense.
"But because there were no charging facilities in the neighborhood, they had to recharge the vehicles with wires hanging from the windows of their homes, usually in high-rise buildings," he said.
His lab now is studying the demand for charging stations and the consumer market in California and China in order to provide intellectual support for the design of PEV policies.
In 2013, China's vehicle sales approached 22 million, topping US light-duty vehicle sales of 15.6 million. China's vehicle total is expected to exceed 280 million by 2020.

In my eyes, these state run companies suck, they ruin China indigenous brand, excluded CCAG, they just OEM of foreign brand.
Now I pay more attention on BYD, Geely, Great Wall, and CCAG, their indigenous brand develop faster and better than those state run companies, FAW is so corrupted, many officials are under investigation, they put huge money into their pocket, these b!tch.
Today, Geely new car will enter market, it is so beautiful, if it success, it is meaningful for Geely, also for China indigenous brand.

With a few exception, most low to middle end Chinese cars lack horse power. I guess the market is different in China where people want gadgets in the car instead of the power from the engine.

The clean-vehicle divisions of these stated-owned automakers are totally independent from their foreign partners。
It is the clean-vehicle businesses of the Big-5 that are entering into all sorts of co-development agreements with the internet and telecom players。

BYD wins biggest order for electric bus in US
Xinhua, April 29, 2015
China's leading battery maker and electric vehicle producer BYD Motors Inc has won an order for 60 pure electric transit buses from a US mass-transit operator, which is the biggest order for a pure electric bus in the United States, the company said on Monday.
"Positive energy will always win! Finally we won Long Beach Transit award again - the only difference is that now is 60 instead of 20! Cheers!" Stella Li, president of BYD Motors and senior vice president of BYD Company Limited, posted on Moments feature of Tencent's WeChat.
The Long Beach Transit Board of Directors on Monday awarded an $11.7 million contract to Los Angeles-based BYD Motors Inc to manufacture 10 battery-powered electric buses and charging systems.
The transit authority, which serves portions of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, will order 10 battery-powered buses with options for its partner agencies to buy as many as 50 more.
"The Long Beach Transit Board made a historic decision today that will not only benefit our customers, but will also be a win for the community," Long Beach Transit CEO Kenneth McDonad said in a statement.
The buses will be zero-emission, McDonald said, adding that they will be "the cleanest bus we have offered to date" and on the "leading edge of technology in the industry."
According to BYD Motors, over the next 5 years, the implementation of 60 BYD electric buses could save Southern California from 124,757,730 lbs of carbon emissions. To manage these equivalent emissions, it would take the planting of 525,691.48 trees, or foresting an area the size of 365 football fields.
Additionally, 60 electric buses operating 150 miles each day, 365 days a year could save operators and Southern California municipalities more than $15 million in diesel fuel over the next five years.
Over the next 10 years, Long Beach Transit expects to be at least 90 percent alternatively fueled, Kevin Lee, a spokesman for Long Beach Transit told media.

I think they need to work over and consolidate the logo of the brand. Not terrible, but can be improved, in my view.
