Earlier this year, BYD announced a major company decision to stop production of vehicles with internal combustion engines and focus exclusively on new energy vehicles. The company has technologies such as Blade Battery, DM-i Super Hybrid and e-Platform 3.0.
“We are very pleased to reach a strategic cooperation with Louwman Group. Louwman is an experienced and well-established dealership group with strong recognition in the Dutch passenger car market, and its large local resources and quality platform will help BYD vehicles quickly enter the local market and build brand awareness. We look forward to working with Louwman Group to provide consumers with high-quality EVs.” said Michael Shu, General Manager of BYD Europe and International Cooperation Division
Meanwhile, the Louwman Group, founded in 1923, is one of the largest car dealer networks in Europe.
“BYD is a leading manufacturer of NEVs with a global reputation for its leading battery technology and outstanding product performance. We are very pleased to partner with BYD to provide the Dutch market with green and high quality NEVs. This fits well with the Louwman Group’s brand vision. It is worth mentioning that many of our major customers are already interested in many of BYD’s NEVs.” says Eric Louwman, President of the Louwman Group
