In December 2008, BYD launched the world's first mass-produced plug-in dual-mode electric vehicle.
In 2010, BYD released the "Electrification of Urban Public Transport" solution.
In April 2014, BYD released the "542" technology ("5" stands for 0-100 km/h acceleration within 5 seconds; "4" stands for full-time electric four-wheel drive, instant response, precise power distribution, good control and high energy efficiency, Improve the safety of handling; "2" means the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is less than 2 liters); redefine the standard of high-performance vehicles from three aspects: super acceleration, full-time electric four-wheel drive, and ultra-low fuel consumption, helping China's auto industry to truly realize "lane change" overtake".
In April 2015, BYD released the "7+4" whole market strategy.
In terms of strategy, BYD first is the urban public transportation electrification strategy, that is, by promoting the comprehensive electrification of buses, taxis, and online car-hailing, it will take the lead in reducing vehicle exhaust emissions in the public sector and help achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions. The second is the "7+4" whole-market strategy, which is to comprehensively promote the electrification process of seven conventional fields including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, private cars, commercial vehicles, and logistics vehicles, and four special fields such as airports, warehousing, ports, and mines. , and finally entered the era of full electrification of automobiles. The third is the "pollution control + congestion control" strategy, that is, "use electric vehicles to control air pollution and Yunba to control traffic congestion", develop a zero-emission ecosystem, and use secondary energy to drive the development of urban green transportation systems. The fourth is a package of green solutions to help carbon peak carbon neutrality, that is, to implement the "whole industry chain + whole market" strategy to provide a package of overall solutions for urban green development.
In 2020, BYD launched the blade battery, adhering to the lithium iron phosphate strategy. The blade battery has solved the problems of product safety and social resource tolerance, and single-handedly brought lithium iron phosphate back to the right path of the industry. [100] In December 2021, the output of lithium iron phosphate batteries increased by 207.7% year-on-year.
In 2021, BYD will launch the DM-i super hybrid, insisting on the parallel development of plug-in hybrid and pure electric.
