Oct 09, 2022

The export of my country's own brands has entered a new stage, which is also an opportunity period for the development of my country's new energy vehicles. The export of independent brands mainly based on new energy and the export of fuel vehicles have undergone great changes.


In the near future, 100,000 BYD electric vehicles will be driving on the streets of Europe, which has touched the nerves of the European automobile manufacturing industry.


German car rental company Sixt said it has signed a new cooperation agreement with Chinese automaker BYD, committing to buy about 100,000 electric vehicles from BYD over the next few years.


According to public information, as one of the largest car rental companies in Europe, Sixt has branches in more than 100 countries around the world, with more than 2,100 business outlets, mainly providing a series of high-end car rental services for business, corporate and private users.


According to the agreement between the two parties, in the first phase of cooperation, Sixt will order thousands of pure electric vehicles from BYD. The first vehicles are expected to be delivered to Sixt's customers in the fourth quarter of this year, covering Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and other markets. In the next six years, Sixt will purchase at least 100,000 new energy vehicles from BYD.


Sixt said that its first BYD model to be launched is ATTO 3, the "overseas version" of the Dynasty series Zhongyuan Plus, and it will explore cooperation opportunities with BYD in different regions of the world in the future. According to Sixt's plan, by 2030, 70% to 90% of the models it offers in Europe will be electric vehicles.
