Chinese BYD brings electric vehicles to Detroit Auto Show

2010-01-13 13:36 BJT

BYD is the only car-maker from China at the Detroit Auto Show. The manufacturer of batteries and automobiles took the chance to launch a new green car, which it's hoping to put on US markets by the end of the year. But there could be challenges, at least in the near term.

Although the Detroit Auto Show is one of the world's top five in size, an economic slowdown means fewer car makers have turned up. It's the third year that BYD is attending the show. The emphasis this time is electric vehicles, and the Chinese company hopes to launch its own line of clean energy vehicles on the American market.

BYD has presented an all-electric crossover vehicle at the Auto Show that it plans to sell in North America by the end of the year. Dubbed the e6, BYD says it comes at "very affordable" prices.
