BYD to supply 110MW of solar modules to South Africa
BYD Company Limited, a manufacturer of automobiles and rechargeable batteries, has announced that it will supply 110MW of solar modules-a total of around 458,000 solar modules to South Africa for the two projects.
By contributing 75MW to solar station in South Africa and also a project of BYD, BYD has supplied continually solar modules to Africa since November 2012. The total 110MW solar projects are under the South Africa's first Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Program (REIPPP). BYD also will continue to support the project developers development South Africa phase II and phase III projects.
Tom Zhao, general manager of BYD's PV Department, stated: "South Africa is heading down the road of becoming one of the leading countries in the solar energy realm, and we're glad to have joined this journey. Our latest important project with partner is the REIPP (Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program) in South Africa, and that project will help satisfy the demand for energy safety there. The large-scale solar energy PV power plant is the key to achieve economies of scale and lower the costs of mass solar energy power."
According to BYD, it will further increase its efforts to open up emerging markets including Africa and get more cooperation with the project developer and the local government.

BYD向深圳交付500台e6电动警务车
12月27日,“深圳市公安局新能源警用车辆启动仪”在市公安局大楼广场举行。凭借300台e6在深圳出租车市场2年多、累计超过3000万公里的稳定营运和安全可靠的综合表现,比亚迪成功中标深圳电动警务用车采购大单,向深圳市公安局交付500台e6纯电动警务用车。深圳市委常委、公安局局长李铭出席启动仪式,并为市交警支队交付首批e6纯电动警务用车钥匙。市公安局、发改委、财政委、采购中心、比亚迪汽车等相关单位出席,共同见证新能源汽车在深圳公务员系统率先普及。据悉,除警务用车,深圳市还计划在出租市场追加投放500台e6纯电动出租车、超过500台K9纯电动大巴,深圳已成为全球新能源车推广力度最大的城市之一。
市领导交付e6钥匙
深圳公务员带头使用比亚迪电动车
为贯彻《深圳市节能与新能源汽车示范推广实施方案》,深圳市公务员带头使用新能源汽车,为推进节约型机关建设起良好的示范作用。500辆纯电动警务用车的率先投放深圳公安系统,极大地促进了深圳新能源汽车的推广,加快深圳产业结构转型升级,是功在当代、利在千秋的惠民工程。比亚迪e6纯电动警务用车拥有零污染、零排放、低使用成本的特点,不仅仅节约能源,更可以有效减少城市二氧化碳排放和污染,改善城市环境,使深圳的空气更清新、更干净。比亚迪e6纯电动警务用车最高车速可以达到140KM/H,综合工况续航里程可以达到300公里,完全满足警务用车日常巡逻、行政执法等需求。深圳市公安局率先采用e6纯电动警务用车,是全国公安系统首次大规模普及电动警车,不仅仅在全国范围内起到利于新能源汽车推广的示范作用,更彰显了作为改革开放桥头堡和排头兵的深圳精神。
除了警务用车,深圳市在公交系统也大量引入新能源车,全力推进新能源车发展。目前深圳已有300台e6纯电动出租车投入市场,总运营里程已超过3000万公里,单车最长行驶里程超过25万公里,相当于普通私家车超过10年的行驶里程,年内还将追加投放500台。同样在深圳,200台K9纯电动大巴总运营里程超过1000万公里,并有超过500台新车将陆续投放市场。深圳在新能源车推广方面已走在全国前列,开创了公交电动化的“深圳模式”。
启动仪式现场
比亚迪新能源汽车推广取得重大进展
伴随着500辆纯电动警务用车在深圳的大规模投放,比亚迪新能源汽车在公共交通、私人用车以及公务用车市场都已推广并取得重大进展。在公共交通领域,比亚迪针对出租车及公交大巴市场推出“零元购车、零成本、零排放”解决方案,真正解决了出租车公司及公交公司一次性购买电动车的资金压力,真正实现使用者的“零风险”。在私人用车领域,比亚迪推出了e6先行者和F3DM双模电动车,率先在深圳面向个人销售,明年还将推出搭载全新DMⅡ代技术的双模电动车——秦,进一步加快私人用车市场的普及。在公务用车领域,比亚迪e6成功入选“中央国家机关新能源电动公务用车示范项目”,12辆e6先行者将服务于中央机关各部委,而本次500辆e6纯电动警务用车的投放,将具有历史性的意义,标志着比亚迪新能源汽车推广再次取得重大进展。
此外,比亚迪率先推出的“深圳模式”在多地成功复制,在西安、宝鸡、韶关、荷兰、新加坡、美国、丹麦、德国、英国伦敦等地成功实现电动车的规模化和商业化。并在天津、云南、武汉与当地企业合作,生产和推广公交电动化,加速电动车的普及。 在全球新能源汽车推广上,以比亚迪汽车为代表的中国力量正在领跑世界。
