BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) entered into a partnership with Jamaican car dealer ATL Automotive on June 26 to jointly provide new energy passenger car products for the Caribbean markets.
ATL, which was founded in 1997 and has a dedicated workforce of up to 600 employees, has been the largest investor in Jamaica's automotive sector since 2010, according to a BYD press release today. The two held a signing ceremony in Jamaica's capital city of Kingston.
BYD and ATL will work together to provide passenger new energy vehicle (NEV) sales and after-sales services to consumers in the Caribbean, with operations in 10 countries.
ATL has been appointed as BYD's regional dealer for sales and after-sales operations in Jamaica. In addition, ATL will assume regional management responsibilities in nine additional countries, including Trinidad and Tobago, Cayman, Curaçao, Barbados, Aruba, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Guyana, and Suriname.
The two plan to open two BYD showrooms in Jamaica, in Kingston and Montego Bay, in order to provide local consumers with a one-stop experience of BYD technology and BYD products, according to the release.
"We will begin accepting pre-orders immediately, with car deliveries scheduled to commence in October. Then there will be a massive roll-out of showrooms across the Caribbean. The future is electric, and BYD will be Jamaica's and the Caribbean's number one EV brand," said Adam Stewart, executive chairman of ATL.
In the coming year, BYD will complete the construction of 10 stores with ATL, said Neva Zhang, country manager of the Caribbean and Central American Countries of BYD.
BYD's press release did not mention which models will first be available in the Caribbean.
This is the latest development for the Chinese NEV giant in the overseas passenger car market, where it launched the Dolphin model on June 22 with Australian partner EV Direct.
BYD sold 240,220 NEVs in May, up 108.99 percent from 114,943 units in the same month last year and up 14.23 percent from 210,295 units in April.
In May, BYD sold 10,203 NEVs in overseas markets, down 31.19 percent from 14,827 units in April.
The company stopped production and sales of vehicles powered entirely by internal combustion engines in March last year and switched to focus on producing plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles.

BYD’s Denza brand to officially launch N7 SUV on Jul 3

After months of warm-up, the launch date for the first SUV of BYD's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand Denza has been set.
The Denza N7 will officially launch on July 3, the brand announced today on Weibo.
The launch date is slightly delayed from previous plans, as Denza general manager of sales Zhao Changjiang said on May 30 that the Denza N7 will be officially launched in late June and deliveries will start in July.
Denza did not share any more information about the N7 today, although it has been warming up about the model for several months.
On March 6, Denza released the official images of the N7. A few days later, on March 9, the model appeared in a regulatory filing list.
The Denza N7 is a 5-seat SUV with a length, width and height of 4,860 mm, 1,935 mm and 1,602 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,940 mm, the regulatory filing shows.
The Denza N7 entering the list comes in four versions, including two single-motor versions and two dual-motor versions, the former with a peak motor power of 230 kW and the latter with an additional peak motor power of 160 kW.
Denza is a joint venture formed in February 2011 by BYD and Daimler, each holding a 50 percent stake at the time, and the Daimler brand was rebranded as Mercedes-Benz in February 2022. BYD increased its shareholding in Denza to 90 percent last year.
In August 2022, Denza let the D9 MPV go on sale, the brand's first model after the reorganization, and the Denza N7, the second model after Denza's shareholding change, was its first SUV.
On December 20 last year, Zhao said on Weibo that the Denza N7 was aimed at the market for traditional internal combustion engine vehicles priced around RMB 400,000 yuan ($55,440).
On March 26, Zhao said there were many customers who wanted to have the Denza N7 launched as soon as possible, and that the model was expected to receive 30,000 orders before its mid-year launch based on inquiry volume data.
On June 13, Zhao said the Denza N7 had more than 20,000 pre-orders before specifications and pricing were announced.
On June 20, Denza saw the first production vehicles of the N7 roll off the assembly line, setting the stage for the upcoming launch.
On June 25, Zhao said on Weibo that he experienced the latest version of the N7's self-parking system, and that the model will be the first to be able to handle a very extreme scenario.
Denza's only model currently in delivery, the Denza D9, sold 11,005 units in May, the third consecutive month with more than 10,000 units, according to data released earlier this month.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has launched another electric vehicle (EV) in Australia after the Atto 3.
BYD and Australian partner EV Direct officially launched the Dolphin locally at a launch event on June 22, according to a press release from the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) giant yesterday.
The car is available in 3 versions in Australia, with starting prices of A$38,890 ($26,000), A$44,890 and A$49,990 respectively.
For reference, BYD Dolphin is offered in three versions in China with starting prices of RMB 116,800 ($16,200), RMB 123,800 and RMB 136,800 respectively.
The BYD Dolphin is an A0-class pure electric vehicle with a length, width and height of 4,290 mm, 1,770 mm and 1,570 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,700 mm.
The model will enrich BYD's product matrix in the Australian market and help the country achieve a green future, BYD said.
BYD launched the Dolphin in China on August 29, 2021, the first product in its Ocean lineup and the first model based on its e-Platform 3.0.
BYD sold 240,220 NEVs in May, including 30,679 units of the Dolphin, according to figures released earlier this month.
The introduction of the Dolphin to Australia is BYD's latest move in the country.
BYD launched the Yuan Plus in China on February 19, 2022, and opened pre-orders for the model in Australia at the same time under the Atto 3 name, with an official guide price of A$44,990 to A$47,990 at the time.
In August 2022 BYD announced on Twitter that the company had shipped 1,000 Atto 3 vehicles to Australia, the first BYD passenger cars to be sent to the country.
The Atto 3, BYD's first global model, has already entered many other markets including Singapore, Europe, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates.
The Dolphin has also been introduced to a number of markets including Japan, Colombia, Europe, and Ecuador.

BYD expands presence in Middle East with launch of Atto 3 in UAE
The Atto 3 is priced significantly lower than other EVs in the UAE, making it by far the most accessible electric model available in the UAE through official dealers.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has entered the UAE passenger car market to expand its presence in the Middle East further after having previously entered Israel and Jordan.
On June 21, BYD launched the Atto 3 in the UAE with its local partner Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company. The model, known as the Yuan Plus in China, is the first global model from the new energy vehicle (NEV) maker.
This revolutionary vehicle marks a significant milestone in the UAE's journey towards sustainable mobility and reinforces both BYD and Al-Futtaim's commitment to contributing towards the UAE's Net-Zero 2050 strategic goals, BYD said in a press release.
The Atto 3 is priced at Dh149,900 ($40,810) in the UAE, below the Dh150,000 mark.
The pricing makes it by far the most accessible EV model available in the UAE through an official dealership, said Gulf News, an English-language UAE media outlet.
Other EVs are priced closer to Dh200,000 and higher, leaving a fairly open field for BYD to build scale in this market, Gulf News said.
BYD officially launched the Yuan Plus in China on February 19, 2022, and opens pre-orders for the model in Australia on the same day under the Atto 3 name.
The model is currently offered in five versions in China with a price range of RMB 139,800 ($19,470) to RMB 167,800.
Prior to the official launch of the Atto 3 in the UAE, more than 95,000 online visitors viewed the model, with more than 3,000 registered leads and 153 bookings, said Al-Futtaim managing director Hasan Nergiz, according to Gulf News.
"What people don't understand that much is that BYD is already the No. 1 EV manufacturer in the world and outsells Tesla. Atto 3 is the model that we will deploy to build a presence in the UAE and then will come the other models," Nergiz said.
The Atto 3 is BYD's first A-class SUV based on e-Platform 3.0, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.3 seconds and a maximum range of 420 km WLTP.
BYD considered the needs and preferences of its UAE customers, and the model passed product localization and high-temperature testing, it said.
"We understand the importance of product localization for the UAE market with its unique climate and hot weather," said AD Huang, general manager of BYD Middle East & Africa.
"Last year, we conducted extensive hot weather testing to ensure the BYD Atto 3 performs optimally even in the region's challenging climate and hot summers. Over the course of several months, we drove more than 100,000 kilometers across the UAE in order to optimize the vehicle's performance and ensure that our customers receive the best driving experience possible with the BYD Atto 3," he said.
Currently, EV sales account for less than 5 percent of new car sales in the UAE, and that number is skewed toward fleet sales rather than retail buyers, the Gulf News report said, adding that that could change as people in their 20s or 30s become early adopters of EVs.
BYD will next launch its flagship Han sedan in the UAE, for which pre-orders are open on the BYD UAE website and will actually launch in October.
The UAE is the latest Middle East market BYD has entered, with the NEV maker announcing its entry into the Israeli passenger car market last August and launching four models -- Dolphin, Tang EV, Atto 3 and Han EV -- in Jordan on March 9.
BYD sold 240,220 NEVs in May, up 108.99 percent from 114,943 units in the same month last year and up 14.23 percent from 210,295 units in April, according to data released earlier this month.
In May, BYD sold 10,203 NEVs in overseas markets, down 31.19 percent from 14,827 units in April.
