In the meantime, SAIC said to make an investment worth 293 millions USD for developping hybrid technology. As well as for Brilliance, green cars is in China becoming a hot topic. China didn't master completely the traditional car technology, and it now forced to dive into hybrid and electric cars. One reason maybe taht in the developped countries, they are pushing forward to develop clean cars in order to fight against the economic recession.

Specification of the BYD F3DM

The vehicle can have an range of 100 km if it runs exclusively in electric mode. It is equipped with a 1 L engine. It will be sold in 14 cities including the major cities of China. But until now no date has been given.

Can BYD make its way to green car?

That's not the opinion of Honda CEO about BYD's capabilities to develop a decent electric car. Coming from the mouth of one of world's carmaker from a country very advanced in electronic, this declaration has some weight. However, although the F3DM is internally made, BYD may in the future build partnership with some more skilled company to build a better product. The government of China is encouraging it companies to innovate and develop the green cars, so expect in the future progress in this field in China.
