Aside from traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles, electronic intelligence technology and powertrain technology, BYD is going to showcase the F3 Plus (the second-generation F3) and Chin models for the first time in a world exclusive at the auto show. In addition, three world-class technologies including Remote Control Driving technology, Dual Mode II system, and the Bi-directional Inverter Charging and Discharging technology will also be showcased.
BYD will have its press conference from 11:30 - 12:00 am on April 23 at the BYD booth.
Chin – Lead the EV Way
The Chin adopts BYD’s new Dual Mode II system, with improvements on the current dual mode electric model F3DM in efficiency, power and energy-saving. With a high voltage, high-speed motor and high-density batteries, the Chin requires just 16RMB of energy per 100km, which equates to 2 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
F3 Plus – Enjoy Remote Control Pleasure
Based on the current F3 model, the best-selling sedan in China for years since its launch in 2005, the second-generation BYD F3 is officially named the F3 Plus for the overseas market. The F3 Plus a classic model from BYD – with significant improvement in the exterior, equipment and interior workmanship. While many high-end configurations are available, the highlight of the F3 Plus is the world-leading Remote Control Driving technology, which makes the F3 Plus the first mass-produced model in the world to feature this cutting-edge technology. The Remote Control Driving technology allows many vehicle functions of the F3 Plus to be performed remotely only by a key. With the key in his or her hands, the driver can make the car start, move forward and back, turn left and right, and travel at a restricted speed all by itself, without the driver even being in the vehicle. It is a perfect solution when the parking space is not wide enough for the driver to exit the car once parked. In windy and rainy weather, drivers can even remotely move the car to his or her side without getting wet.
Bi-directional Inverter Charging and Discharging Technology
The Bi-directional Inverter Charging and Discharging Technology will be a world-class and subversive technology. It allows the electric vehicles independent of specialist charging stations, meanwhile turns the vehicles into mobile power storage stations, which will be very conductive to the electric vehicle promotion.
