Chinese carmaker BYD has certainly garnered its fair share of media attention since it received backing from Warren Buffet – and now it is finally bringing its e6 vehicles to Europe.
The company has reached an agreement with Rotterdam city to deliver BYD’s all-electric e6 vehicles as part of the Netherlands’ green transportation project 75-EV-RO.
The Rotterdam government is planning to buy 75 new energy vehicles of different types to create a new energy fleet in the city. It is hoped the projects will not only popularise electric transport, but that they will also help resolve concerns about safety, charging technology and impact on the environment.
As for the e6 itself, it comes with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, can travel up to 186 miles per charge and has most notably been used as taxis in Shenzhen.
