BYD started serving Japanese customers with rechargeable batteries in 1999. Later, BYD provided the local market with new energy storage products, solar energy products, pure electric buses, pure electric forklifts and other products to help Japan achieve green and sustainable development. Since the delivery of the first batch of zero-emission buses to Kyoto in 2015, the excellent performance of BYD’s pure electric buses have won the approval and support of Japanese customers.
