BYD showcases battery, charging technology in 15,000km journey from Rome to Hong Kong

BYD, the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, is promoting its advanced battery and fast-charging technologies through a 15,000km journey from Rome to Hong Kong. The trip involves a fleet of upgraded Z9GT models, part of BYD's premium Denza brand, traveling through multiple European and Asian countries over approximately 43 days. These vehicles are equipped with BYD's Blade Battery 2.0, which claims to offer the longest driving range for a mass-produced electric car—up to 1,036km on a single charge. The journey, starting on June 13, draws inspiration from Marco Polo's historic travels and coincides with increased global demand for EVs, particularly after geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran. BYD reported a significant rise in overseas deliveries, up 82.5% year-on-year, with 471,091 units sold internationally in the first half of 2024.
