Today, BYD is a world leader in the production and sales of vehicles powered by new energy sources – electric vehicles and hybrids. Has one of the best technological bases and quality control systems.

In order to meet the needs of the population for passenger vehicles and expand their range, agreements have been reached with Chinese partners on the production of cars in the B, C and budget segments. Their first samples were transferred by Chinese partners to laboratories to test the modern standardization system.

Also relevant is the issue of introducing modern technologies and standards not only in production, but also in trade, service and warranty service. This will prevent the release of low-quality products and ensure high quality service and warranty service for manufactured vehicles.

Cooperation with BYD also includes training and advanced training of local personnel.
