This year, BYD "goes overseas" and successively enters traditional automobile powers such as Europe and Japan. Recently, BYD has also successively entered markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and BYD has begun to enter the global market. At present, BYD has a small number of overseas factories, which means that a large part of its models will be exported domestically, which has also given rise to the demand for BYD's maritime transport ships. To this end, BYD will also build its own "fleet" to go to sea.
News on October 13, it is reported that BYD will order up to eight 7,700 CEU liquefied natural gas dual-fuel car carriers (PCTC) to cope with the transportation needs caused by rapid overseas expansion.
The price of the ships for this order has been agreed at US$84 million (approximately RMB 602.8 million) per ship. Some industry insiders said that the current quotation of a similar ship in the Chinese market is, About $100 million.
It is understood that on September 28, BYD announced its entry into the European market. Three models, Han EV, Tang EV and ATTO 3 (Yuan PLUS), have officially started pre-sales in Germany.
Prior to this, BYD had already deployed in Thailand, Japan, Latin America and other regions. German car rental company Sixt said it will order 100,000 electric vehicles from BYD in the next six years.
It is precisely because of the huge demand for vehicles overseas that BYD will order eight 7,700 CEU LNG dual-fuel car carriers (PCTC). However, BYD has not yet responded to this news.
