BYD launched the Dolphin in Chile, the Han EV, Tang EV and Atto 3 in Morocco and the Atto 3 in Brunei.
BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) is bringing its electric vehicles (EVs) to more countries as the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) maker tries to expand its international presence.
The company launched EVs in Chile, Brunei, and Morocco in the past few days in its latest move in international markets.
BYD held a brand and new model launch event in Chile on July 12, where it launched the Dolphin with a starting price of 30,490,000 Chilean pesos ($37,430).
Known as the Yuan Plus in China, the Atto 3 is BYD's first global model and is already available in dozens of countries.
Last November, BYD announced a partnership with Auto Nejma, part of Moroccan dealer group Hakam Family Group.
In 2017 BYD and the Moroccan government signed a memorandum of understanding on electric public transportation systems, covering rail transportation, electric passenger cars, electric buses and trucks, and battery assembly.
BYD announced on July 14 that it held a brand launch in Brunei and launched the Atto 3 to local customers.
