One day to create two major records in the electric car industry! 3.0 travel plan will also dock Thailand's national strategy 'EEC'. This is BYD's transcript in Thailand.
101 BYD e6 'driving to' Thailand
On August 16, BYD's 101 e6 was successfully delivered in Bangkok, refreshing Thailand's largest electric vehicle delivery record. On the same day, the Thai side also signed a contract with BYD to create the largest e6 cooperation agreement in overseas regions. This means that BYD is breaking the monopoly of international auto giants with electric vehicles, reshaping the industry structure and continuing to lead the global travel revolution.

BYD completes the largest electric vehicle delivery in Thailand's history
Ceremony venue organized by 'special'
Bangkok is Thailand's political, economic and cultural center with a total population of more than 20 million. It has rich tourism resources and a rich Buddhist culture. It is known as the 'City of Angels' and the 'Buddhist Capital'. The Thai government has always been committed to building Bangkok. Becoming a business card for the world. But in recent years, like many developing countries, Thailand has been mired in environmental pollution. In February of this year, the concentration of PM2.5 in downtown Bangkok soared, far exceeding the average concentration set by the World Health Organization. An orange 'danger' rating that poses a serious threat to human health.
The number of cars in Bangkok and surrounding areas is about 5 million, the number of taxis is more than 100,000, and the number of buses is 43,000. In terms of absolute total, the number of taxis and buses is not the most, but the daily mileage is running. Up to several hundred kilometers, it is considered to be the 'big household' of exhaust emissions. As one of the heavy measures to control air pollution in Bangkok, the e6 fleet delivered this time is operated as a VIP taxi and a network car.
In order to demonstrate Thailand's determination to develop electric vehicles, the venue of the ceremony was arranged 'specially' at the Land Transport Department of Thailand. This is the only time that the car company has been held here since the founding of the country. The launch ceremony, the Thai Land Transport Department Long Sanit Promwong pointed out: 'The electric vehicle has both environmental and economic benefits and is the global transportation development trend. Today's launching ceremony fulfilled our commitment to improve traffic pollution and is an important step for Thailand to move towards electric mobility.'
Delivery ceremony
Previously, the Thai government introduced relevant policies to encourage the application of new energy vehicles. The Thai government has stipulated that since March 31, 2017, pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles accounted for in the official vehicles purchased by the government and its subsidiaries. Must be more than 20%.
Introducing 1,000 e6 Thais, but saying so
The official operation of the 101 e6 in Bangkok means that BYD has a market share of 50% in the field of pure electric vehicles in Thailand, ranking first in the industry.
The Thai auto market has always been monopolized by Japanese cars. Japanese cars account for more than 80% of the market share, and other countries' auto brands have little place to stand. What prompted the Thai side to choose the best, and finally 'phase in the middle' BYD?
'Strong strength, let us be reassured', why choose BYD and sign a record 1000 e6 cooperation agreement, Apichat Leenutaphong, managing director of RIZEN ENERGY, Thailand partner. He added: 'BYD has a large scale The ability to mass-produce electric vehicles, in China, Singapore and even Europe and the United States and many other countries have high sales of electric vehicles. The most important technology of electric vehicles is batteries, different from other car companies, BYD own battery technology, with tens of thousands R & D patents, such companies deserve our trust. In addition, BYD's new energy models are numerous, which will help the two sides to expand new areas of cooperation.'
BYD e6 on the streets of Thailand
Like BYD's e6 in dozens of countries and regions around the world, the e6 delivered in Thailand is also a lithium iron phosphate battery independently developed by BYD. It has the characteristics of high safety, high stability, environmental protection and no pollution. The charging time is only two hours. , cruising range of up to 400 kilometers.
Dr. Puwei Ban Yasi, the vice president of the Thai Taxi Association, personally tried BYD's e6. In his view, the introduction of the BYD electric car is very far-sighted and can bring a lot of convenience and benefits to the people's life. Said: 'Electric vehicles can reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and increase the driver's income.'
It is not only RIZEN ENERGY and the Thai Taxi Association that are optimistic about BYD's electric vehicle technology.
As early as December 2012, the BYD e6 landed in Thailand and has been used as the working vehicle of Thailand's largest power company MEA. In 2015, Thailand's leading industrial and commercial giant Loxley Group introduced the BYD K9 electric bus and e6 electric car. 'Thailand electrification strategy'. Even the Thai Prime Minister, Ba Yu Zhan Ou, also personally experienced K9 in 2016 and affirmed it.
Liu Xueliang, general manager of BYD Asia Pacific Automotive Sales Division, said: 'BYD is driving the transformation of electric mobility around the world. I am very pleased that Thailand has joined this far-reaching transformation.'
Liu Xueliang pointed out that it will vigorously promote global green travel changes
3.0 Travel Plan Building the Thai version of 'Xiong New District' Travel Ecology
However, electric vehicles are not all that the Thai side cooperates with BYD.
In June of this year, BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu accepted the invitation of the Thai Prime Minister’s Office and held a series of talks with Thai Deputy Prime Minister Qi Qi, EEC Secretary General Kaniban Shangsuban and other politicians to dock the Thai EEC on the BYD 3.0 travel solution. Explore.
EEC is a national strategy of the Thai government to enhance Thailand's industrial structure, enhance the country's comprehensive competitiveness, and enable Thailand to break through the bottleneck of middle-income countries. It is hailed as the Thai version of the 'Xiong New District' strategy.
The Thai government plans to develop the EEC region into a low-carbon, intelligent, high-tech ecologically intelligent region. The EEC region is mainly connected by high-speed rail and Bangkok, but the EEC region spans three provinces (Beiliufu, Chonburi and Rayong). ), and currently there is no suitable connection line between the three government.
BYD 3.0 travel solutions include rail transit, new energy passenger vehicles, pure electric commercial vehicles and pure electric forklifts. Thailand believes that BYD's three-dimensional, electrified, intelligent 3.0 travel solution represents the future development of urban transport, especially The small and medium-sized rail transit has outstanding advantages in intelligent technology, traffic volume, terrain adaptability, economy and other aspects, which can well meet the needs of EEC traffic development and promote the upgrading of the transportation system in the region. Meanwhile, BYD A variety of new energy vehicles (taxis, buses, sanitation vehicles, logistics vehicles, etc., a total of 11 types of new energy vehicles), also meet the low-carbon traffic needs of the EEC region.
Helping the Thai version of 'Xiong New District' to create a green, intelligent and convenient travel ecology will become the top priority for BYD's next phase in the Thai market.
