As a world-leading conglomerate, Marubeni Corporation has significant experience and resources in a variety of fields such as renewable energy and automobile sales. We will jointly explore the international market and provide users with future-oriented smart electric vehicles and mobility services.”

We are very excited at creating a new mobility world with BYTON's state-of-the-art technologies.”

BYTON's Series C financing has now entered the final stage, with investors including the FAW Group and the Nanjing Municipal Government's industrial investment fund. BYTON has concurrently been actively sourcing overseas capital. This cooperation with Marubeni is the second time BYTON has brought in an overseas strategic investor, after signing an agreement in September 2019 with South Korean auto parts maker Myoung Shin Co.

Recently, BYTON's intelligent manufacturing base has also entered trial production, actively positioning for mass production. BYTON expects to start series production of its first model, the M-Byte, in 2020 and deliver it to the Chinese market before launching it in Europe and North America in 2021.
