BYD's new sub-brand Fang Cheng Bao continues to warm up with the announcement of the official name of its first model.
Fang Cheng Bao's first model is named Leopard 5 ("豹5" in Chinese), the brand said today on Weibo.
BYD officially announced the name of its Fang Cheng Bao brand on June 9, the fifth in its brand matrix after the Dynasty series, Ocean series, Denza and Yangwang.
The Fang Cheng Bao brand name literally translates to "Formula" and "Leopard," symbolizing the pursuit of a transformative rise and exploration of the digital realm, BYD said.
BYD has previously used the code SF to refer to the first model of the new brand, saying it is a hardcore SUV expected to launch this year.
BYD has not provided pricing information on Fang Cheng Bao's first model in its previews over the past few months, though CnEVPost previously learned that the model will target a market priced between RMB 400,000 ($55,410) and RMB 600,000.
Xiong Tianbo, former head of BYD auto's sales research institute, will be the general manager of the brand's sales division, leading the brand's product planning, channel sales and brand building, a company insider previously told CnEVPost.
Rumors have recently surfaced that Fang Cheng Bao's first model will be equipped with BYD's DM-o powertrain, which will be the third BYD hybrid system in addition to DM-i and DM-p.
Currently about half of BYD's monthly sales are battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and the other half are plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).
Among the PHEVs, the DM-i focuses more on fuel economy, while the DM-p focuses more on performance.
The DM-o is expected to combine the technical advantages of the DM-i and DM-p, and can provide the vehicle with a total sum range of up to 1,200 km and a total powertrain power of up to 500 kW, according to recent reports in several local media.

The prestige luxury brand Rolls-Royce announced in 2021 that it would be going fully electric by 2030. That seemed a particularly bold assertion for a brand that up until then hadn’t ever offered an EV. But now the first of the fully electric Rolls-Royce, the Spectre coupe, is headed for first deliveries late this year, and the brand’s...

Permalink | Email this | CommentsIn the first half of the year, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China are expected to be 3.53 million units, up 44 percent year-on-year.
China's wholesale sales of passenger new energy vehicles (NEVs) are expected to be 740,000 units in June, up 10 percent from May and up 30 percent year-on-year, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said in a report today.
In May, the 12 manufacturers with more than 10,000 NEVs sold at wholesale contributed 82.8 percent of all wholesale sales, the CPCA said.
These companies are expected to sell 611,000 units in June, and the normal structure would put China's June wholesale sales of passenger NEVs at around 740,000 units, the CPCA said.
In the January-June period, China's wholesale sales of passenger NEVs are expected to be 3.53 million units, up 44 percent from a year earlier, according to the report.
In China, NEVs include battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles.
China's passenger NEV market maintained strong growth in June, continuing May's trend with sales reaching an all-time high, the CPCA said.
With the launch of a large number of competitive new products and increased promotions in the second quarter, consumers' enthusiasm for buying was gradually released, the report said.
Manufacturers and dealers are actively carrying out various promotional activities to achieve their semi-annual targets, and coupled with local government subsidies, NEV retail sales continue to improve, the CPCA said.
Passenger vehicle sales in China are expected to be 23.5 million units in 2023, with 8.5 million units of NEVs sold and penetration expected to reach 36 percent, the CPCA said, repeating its previous forecast.
For the full year 2022, China's wholesale sales of passenger NEVs are expected to be 6.5 million units, up 96.3 percent year-on-year.
Here are the CPCA's June NEV wholesale sales figures for major automakers.
