Environmental pollution, petroleum safety is a worldwide problem, and it is also a serious challenge for China. Recently, members of the two CPPCC National Committees stated that China’s apparent oil consumption in 2017 was 590 million tons, and net imports reached 396 million tons. China’s oil is dependent on foreign countries. Achieved 67.4%. It is estimated that by 2018, China’s apparent oil demand will exceed 600 million tons for the first time, while the foreign dependence will approach 70%.
Petroleum resources are a matter of national energy security. As a pioneer in the overall new energy solution, BYD is not only committed to promoting energy conservation and emission reduction with new energy technologies, improving the ecological environment, but also devoting itself to human energy innovation, with new energy vehicles. The +4' strategy reduces the dependence of transportation on oil and eases the energy pressure of the country and the world.
According to statistics, China has more than 200 million cars, and the consumption of oil by cars accounts for one-third of China’s total oil consumption. Each year, China’s car ownership increases by more than 20 million vehicles. By 2020, the proportion of auto consumption of petroleum will be close to two-thirds. To solve the oil pressure, optimize the energy structure, develop new energy vehicles, and electrification of public transportation, the solution has been put on the national strategic agenda.
In 2010, BYD took the lead in launching the 'urban bus-electricity' solution to achieve large-scale operations in Shenzhen and made an important demonstration for China’s later bus electrification strategy. Up to now, Shenzhen has promoted the use of 16359 pure electric buses. , It has become the world’s first fully-mobilized electric vehicle for franchised buses with the largest scale and widest application in the world. According to calculations, a pure electric bus can save 40,000 liters of oil per year, and is fully electrified in franchised buses. Afterwards, the dependence of public transport on fossil fuels in Shenzhen has been greatly reduced, and the energy conservation and emission reduction benefits of urban transport have also rapidly become prominent.
Overseas, BYD's 'Bus Electrification Strategy' has also been recognized by more and more countries and regions. It has delivered a total of more than 35,000 pure electric passenger vehicles to global partners. In January of this year, Egypt purchased 15 BYD pure electric vehicles. The bus will open a new era of bus motorization. This is a historic step for Egypt to adapt to the global energy revolution and improve the traffic environment. In the UK, BYD has occupied more than 50% of the market share of pure electric bus market, including London market share. The rate is as high as more than 90%. Since its development, BYD's pure electric buses have been put into operation in a large number of cities in Shenzhen, Nanjing, Beijing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin, and Changsha, and successfully landed in Kyoto, Japan, California, United Kingdom and London, UK. , Amsterdam, Netherlands, Sydney, Australia and more than 50 countries and regions in the world, 200 cities, to achieve a strategic layout of six continents.
In addition, BYD's new energy vehicle products have been fully deployed in the fields of passenger cars, taxis, road passenger transport, urban logistics vehicles, sanitation vehicles, and transportation, warehousing, ports, airports, mining and other transportation markets. In the future, BYD will Continue to lead new energy technologies to help China and the world in environmental governance and energy optimization to help more cities achieve sustainable development!
