China-based BYD Co., Ltd will stage the European premiere of two electric vehicles at the upcoming 2011 Geneva International Motor Show in March: the updated pure-electric vehicle 2012 e6-Eco and the independent 4WD dual-mode electric SUV S6DM. The company will also present its overall “Three Green Dreams” strategy for the European market as well as show the core technology of BYD e-Bus K9 and the dual-mode electric vehicle F3DM.
The 2012 e6-Eco 5-seat crossover is equipped with a BYD Li-ion battery pack and has an expected range of 300 km (186 miles) in urban roads condition. It takes 40 minutes to fully charge the e6 using a 100 kW quick charger.
The BYD S6DM SUV can travel more than 60 km (37 miles) purely on electric power and more than 495 km (308 miles) in extended range with the 2.0L gasoline engine. The hybrid system includes a 10 kW electric motor (M1) paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission propelling the front wheels while a 75 kW electric motor (M2) powers the rear wheels.
BYD’s “Three Green Dreams” are based on these three pillars of its R&D:
- Affordable solar power
- Environmentally-friendly energy storage
- Electrified transportation
