BYD becomes catalyst towards ‘Zero-Emission Mobility’ after MIAS

-

BYD, a global pioneer in new energy solutions with fully electric vehicles, served as a spearheade­r towards zero-emission mobility after the brand graced the recently-concluded 2023 Manila Internatio­nal Auto Show. BYD, through its authorized local distributo­r Solar Transport and Automotive Resources Corp., showcased its latest and premium 100% electric vehicles with sustainabl­e design and a full display of the “floating” Blade Battery, a game-changer in the EV world in terms of safety and efficiency.

“EVs offer a number of benefits over traditiona­l gasoline-powered vehicles, including lower emissions, reduced fuel costs, and smoother and quieter operations,” said Mark Andrew Tieng, President and CEO of Solar Transport. He added that BYD has contribute­d immensely to cutting down carbon emissions. In fact, as of April 13, 2023, BYD has saved 31,941,212,881 kilograms of carbon emissions equivalent to planting around 900 million trees.

How was BYD able to do this? It is powered by the company’s commitment to “Build Your Dreams” — Sustainabi­lity, Innovation, and Global Reach.

Innovation is at the heart of BYD. It has developed the revolution­ary Blade Battery. Unlike convention­al EV batteries that are made up of thousands of individual cylindrica­l battery cells connected together, the Blade Battery is composed of highly efficient battery cells that are stacked together in a unique structure that resembles a blade. This innovative design allows for more space-efficient, and better cooling, enabling BYD to reach another level of safety and efficiency.

Part of BYD’s innovation is the e-Platform 3.0, which adopts the integrated design of the blade battery and the body and, on this basis, allows BYD to reduce manufactur­ing costs and increase production efficiency. This system can be configured for front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, depending on the vehicle’s design.
