BYD pure electric bus C6
On October 23, local time, BYD delivered the first pure electric bus C6 in Nepal to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation in Kathmandu, Nepal. The buses will operate in the Lumbini area, the birthplace of the air-contaminated Shakyamuni Buddha. This means that the revolutionary motorization revolution in Nepal officially kicked off.
Nepal, the country closest to heaven in the world, the 'holy land' of global mountaineering enthusiasts, and one of the least developed countries approved by the United Nations (44 in total). In 2017, the total GDP of Nepal was only 26.388 billion US dollars. In order to protect the 'clean land' under the roof of the world and protect tourism resources, Nepal, which is not rich, firmly chooses to develop electric vehicles. This may be the most vivid footnote in the world for the electrification revolution.
Prime Minister Ollie delivered a speech at the delivery ceremony of the first pure electric bus C6 in Nepal. Zhang Fan, the temporary representative of the Chinese Embassy in Nepal, attended the ceremony.

Prime Minister Ollie meets with BYD team
It’s too late, Prime Minister Oliv still knows the performance of the BYD electric car e6.
As early as December 2015, Prime Minister Ollie instructed the Prime Minister's team to write to BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu, hoping that BYD would bring the electric car to Nepal. The letter wrote, 'Developing alternative energy is the direction of future public transportation. In this field, BYD New Energy Automotive Technology and its worldwide recognition and achievements have left a deep impression on the Prime Minister. Mr. Prime Minister and the Nepalese government are full of enthusiasm for the development of pollution-free cities across Nepal. Mr. Prime is very grateful to BYD for the electric vehicle solution. China's current development of electric vehicles has made him confident in developing electric vehicles in Nepal. We want to know more about the possibility of reforming the public transportation system and study the public in cities such as Kathmandu. The transportation system implements an alternative fuel technology (pure electric vehicle) program. '
In 2015, Prime Minister Ollie invited Liu Xueliang to discuss the development of electric vehicles in the Prime Minister's Office and personally met Liu Xueliang and his party.
In December 2015, the letter from the Prime Minister’s team to BYD Wang Chuanfu
A letter to build a bridge for the development of electric vehicles in Nepal
Nepal has developed electric vehicles with many considerations.
As the Nepalese Prime Minister’s letter to Wang Chuanfu said, 'Nepal has been over-reliant on fossil energy in public transport and private cars, which not only imposes a financial burden on the government, but also environmental problems caused by vehicle emissions. The public has brought bad influence. '
According to the 2017 mid-term pollution index report released by the world-famous data website Numbeo, the Kathmandu pollution index of Nepal's capital ranks fifth in the world. Exhaust emissions from older vehicles have become one of the main causes of increased air pollution.

Air pollution may have a strong impact on the local cultural landscape, threatening the preservation of Lumbini's world cultural heritage. Data show that tourism is a pillar industry in Nepal, accounting for about 29% of GDP.
The letter from Nepal is like a potent agent, which speeds up the development of BYD's electric vehicles in Nepal. In August 2016, the Nepalese company Cimex and BYD formally confirmed the cooperation and opened the first e6 orders in the Nepal market in the same month. 2018 In January, BYD and the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation officially signed Nepal's largest electric vehicle project to date. With the technical support of BYD, Cimex also built a charging station in Kathmandu.
In the country that sang the national anthem of "The Only Country in Full Bloom", the place that seems to be the least likely to develop electric cars, the zero-emission C6 bus fleet is also about to operate. In this regard, Liu Xueliang said: 'Looking at Nepal This difficult and firm historical step, we hope that in the near future, through the efforts of both sides, Nepal’s desire to develop green transportation will be 100% realized.
