BYD is holding its first ever test drive event, "BYD Technology Green Future Week".

"BYD Technology Green Future Week" - The first-ever 5-day test drive event, targeting a diverse range of guests.

As one of the few test drive events held over 5 days in Vietnam, the “BYD - Technology Green Future Week” attracted a diverse range of guests nationwide, from news agencies and automotive websites to investors, partners, dealers, and potential customers. Attendees had the opportunity to see, test drive, and experience firsthand three BYD models: the SEAL (sedan), BYD DOLPHIN (hatchback), and BYD ATTO 3 (urban SUV); visit the technology exhibition; and listen to presentations from BYD representatives about new energy products and solutions. BYD also plans to continue organizing test drive events in Northern Vietnam in June 2024.

The arrival of the BYD SEAL, BYD DOLPHIN, and BYD ATTO 3 trio promises to open up more options for customers, enriching the new energy vehicle market and contributing to promoting a green lifestyle. In particular, the first customers who register and place a deposit for the BYD SEAL, BYD DOLPHIN, and BYD ATTO 3 from June 15th to July 18th, 2024, will receive a gift package including: one portable charger, one 7 kW wall charger with free installation support, and one power converter (all genuine BYD products). Furthermore, customers who place a deposit will also receive a range of additional benefits such as: 6 years of free 24/7 roadside assistance and standard maintenance, one year of comprehensive insurance, preferential loan support up to 85%, and a cash gift of VND 10,000,000.

Mr. Vo Minh Luc, CEO of BYD Vietnam, shared: “The BYD - Technology Green Future Week is BYD's next event in our journey to familiarize ourselves with the Vietnamese market. BYD may have launched a little late in Vietnam, but we always consider this an important market with great potential for BYD outside of China. BYD's new energy vehicles will contribute to providing green transportation and clean energy solutions, thereby contributing to a sustainable future. We don't just aim to bring in a few models; we also hope to build an entire product ecosystem with a diverse range of vehicles and segments.”

The world's number one new energy vehicle brand impressed with its trio of products: BYD SEAL, BYD DOLPHIN, and BYD ATTO 3.

BYD not only masters the technology but also possesses the groundbreaking "keys" on the three fundamental components of any new energy vehicle: chassis, battery pack, and powertrain. Equipped with these technologies, the BYD SEAL, BYD DOLPHIN, and BYD ATTO 3 have proven their appeal and earned the trust of customers in many countries. BYD expects these three flagship products to replicate their successes in numerous international markets.

Blade batteries – 29 years of experience in creating the world's safest batteries: The strength of blade batteries lies not only in their superior power delivery but also in their resistance to fire, explosion, deformation, and heat. Therefore, blade batteries have passed a series of rigorous tests and are among the safest batteries in the world, helping BYD become a leading brand in safe new energy vehicles today.

BYD's vehicle lineup offers a driving range of over 400 km on a single full charge, allowing customers to comfortably travel for a week in urban areas without worrying about charging stations. In the near future, BYD is actively collaborating with partners to find suitable charging station development options. Currently, many domestic and international businesses are planning to invest in this sector to jointly build an ecosystem for new energy vehicles.

e-Platform 3.0 - An exclusive chassis for all-electric vehicles: This structure is built to maximize advantages such as efficiency, safety, and aesthetics. e-Platform 3.0 not only enhances the performance of BYD models but also delivers powerful operation, impressive acceleration, while ensuring smoothness and energy efficiency.

The world's first mass-produced 8-in-1 drivetrain: BYD is the first brand in the world to integrate eight key components—VCU controller, BMS, MCU, PDU, DC-DC controller, integrated charger, motor, and drivetrain—into an 8-in-1 drivetrain system. This innovation optimizes space, performance, reduces battery drain, and increases energy efficiency.

All three models featured at the event are equipped with safe blade-type battery technology, the latest e-Platform 3.0, a high-efficiency thermal compressor system, and interior highlights including a 15.6-inch rotating central touchscreen. The most outstanding of the three is the BYD SEAL – one of BYD's best-selling models globally, featuring an 8-in-1 electric motor; a striking exterior design with unique layered U-shaped DRLs; and Cell-To-Body technology integrating the battery into the floor, making the car lighter and optimizing aerodynamics for faster movement. Meanwhile, the BYD DOLPHIN boasts a spacious luggage compartment, with flexible folding rear seats allowing for a maximum luggage capacity of 1,310 liters.

Pioneering the creation of a green footprint through new energy solutions.

According to data from the German market research company Statista, BYD is the world's leading brand in terms of new energy vehicle sales globally in 2023, with over 3 million vehicles sold, a growth of 61.9% compared to 2022. BYD's success stems from its strength in battery technology and a research and design engineering team of 102,800 people. In particular, BYD also focuses on clean energy solutions, including electric urban transport and renewable energy storage, aiming to electrify public transport and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions with the goal of "Cooling the Earth by 1°C". With its efforts to increase the use of zero-emission vehicles, BYD expects to create positive changes for the community and the environment, thereby contributing to sustainable development in line with Vietnam's and the world's development goals.
