BYD Drives EV Innovation at SMMT Test Day 2024
BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles, brings a stellar all-electric line-up to this year’s SMMT Test Day on 23rd May 2024 at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.
The eye-catching BYD electric car range showcases diverse product choices within a variety of market segments, and leading-edge EV technologies developed by BYD that are setting a precedent for EV safety, performance and energy efficiency on a global scale.
The SMMT Test Day 2024 presents the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a selection of BYD cars available in the UK market. They include the stunning and dynamic BYD SEAL (D-segment sedan); the compact and agile BYD DOLPHIN (C-segment hatchback) and the charismatic BYD ATTO 3 (C-segment SUV) with modern design aesthetics and exceptional intelligence.
Available for test drives on Millbrook’s Hill Route, experience first-hand BYD’s pioneering EV technologies including the advanced e-Platform 3.0, BYD’s 8-in-1 electric powertrain which brings a new level of safety, efficiency and intelligence, with cabin space optimisation benefits and a high-efficiency heat pump as standard.
All the electric cars at the SMMT Test Day utilise BYD’s globally acclaimed LFP Blade Battery, a gamechanger for battery safety and durability. Cobalt-free, LFP batteries are also more resistant to extreme temperatures. They have better thermal stability and are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations, while they can withstand more charge and discharge cycles with hardly any loss of capacity.
Suiting modern lifestyles and outdoor adventures, all BYD cars at the SMMT Test Day offer the convenience of BYD V2L technology. There will be the opportunity to see this handy feature for powering electrical appliances in action, with all guests at the Test Day invited to join the team at BYD UK for a cup of coffee powered by BYD’s V2L technology!
