As a leader in domestic new energy vehicles, BYD's every move has attracted the attention of both inside and outside the industry. BYD's original Huizhou factory's annual production capacity of power batteries has reached 2GWh. However, with the increasing sales of BYD's new energy vehicles, the demand for batteries has become larger and larger. BYD's pothole battery production base was officially settled in 2014. Shenzhen Kengzi Industrial Park, the base plan covers an area of ​​about 100,000 square meters, mainly used for research and development, production and sales of power batteries.
Visiting the global battery production base: BYD Kengzi Industrial Park
The interior of the base adopts a fully automated production line with high precision, high speed and high intelligence to ensure the precise control of intelligent automation in the battery production process and ensure the consistency of battery production. The key processes of the entire production line are equipped with the production equipment of the industry, and also equipped with the automatic assembly line independently developed by BYD, representing the level of BYD's current equipment technology. Recently, the project has reached the total production scale of 8Gwh of annual output of iron batteries (which can supply batteries for about 25,000 electric buses or over 600,000 new energy cars).
The development momentum of BYD's new energy vehicles has been very rapid in recent years. The products cover two types of technology: pure electric and plug-in hybrids, as well as cars, SUVs, etc., with BYD Qin, Tang, E5, E6, Qin EV, Song DM, etc. A variety of models. Today, BYD's new energy vehicles have spread across more than 200 different cities in the world, including Europe and the United States, such as Tokyo, New York, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Canada and other countries. In 2015, BYD's new energy vehicle sales volume was 58,000 units, and in 2016 it exceeded 100,000 units. Among them, commercial vehicles maintained a strong momentum of development. 13,278 passenger cars, 859 sanitation and logistics vehicles were sold throughout the year, and the cumulative sales exceeded 14,000. The vehicle has increased by 162% year-on-year.), it has won the title of “Global New Energy Vehicle Sales**†in 2016, and it is the leader of domestic new energy passenger vehicle leader. It is one of the few domestic new energy vehicles. Profitable business.
It is understood that BYD is expanding the pothole base to increase production capacity of 6GWh, forming a cumulative 16GWh/year production capacity, and providing batteries for 960,000 BYD hybrid vehicles. In 2017, BYD will also launch the Tang 100, Qin 100 and Song and Yuan DM hybrid models with a pure electric range of 100 kilometers. In addition, Song EV, Yuan EV, etc. will also be listed one after another, promoting the further growth of BYD's new energy vehicle business.
