BYD started in 1995 as a battery R&D and manufacturing company. It masters core EV technologies including battery, IGBT, electric motor and electronic controls, and has become a company that provides comprehensive new energy solutions such as new energy passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, forklifts, and power battery products.

BYD Commercial Vehicle is a world-leading brand with an extensive product lineup ranging from pure electric coach and bus to pure electric truck. Since the first commercial operation of the BYD K9 pure electric bus in Shenzhen in 2011, BYD's footprint can be found in more than 300 cities across over 50 countries and regions around the world. BYD has sold over 50,000 units of pure electric bus and coach, ranking first on the global pure electric bus and coach sales.

Hino was founded in 1942 and has since grown alongside customers and societal development through its business of providing trucks and buses. In 1991, Hino released the world's first commercially available hybrid vehicle as a heavy-duty urban transit bus. For nearly thirty years since, it has constantly strived to innovate electrified vehicle technology, putting light-duty electric vehicle buses and medium-duty plug-in hybrid buses in operation.

Hino's heavy-duty truck with the newest 6th Generation Hybrid system offers the convenience of a diesel truck while improving fuel efficiency by about 15%. Hino contributes to customer businesses with products that balance environmental friendliness and practicality at a superior level.

BYD and Hino will work together to develop and spread the best-fit commercial BEVs for customers to achieve low-carbon societies.
