MILAN/SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's leading EV maker BYD is overhauling its European operations after strategic missteps including failures to sign up enough dealers and hire executives with local-market knowledge and to offer hybrids in markets resistant to fully electric vehicles, six current and former BYD executives said. The Chinese EV leader announced in December that plug-in hybrids would be crucial to its European strategy. "He was very quick to get the message and give the input to BYD's engineers that every new model would have to come both in EV and hybrid" versions for Europe, Altavilla told Reuters.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's annual major auto shows have become a showcase for the rise of ever-cheaper, better-performing electric vehicles and more confident local brands in the world's biggest market for cars.

As competition heats up in the world’s largest EV market, the spotlight is on advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -More than 70 Chinese and international automotive brands will showcase more than 100 new or refreshed models at the Shanghai auto show this week, intensifying already cutthroat competition in the world's premier market for electric vehicles and hybrids. Top-selling Chinese brands such as BYD and Geely are expected to take centre stage at the show from April 23 to May 2, while foreign automakers such as Volkswagen, Nissan, Toyota and General Motors' Cadillac brand will also jostle for attention. As a years-long consumer price war in China drags on, next-generation automated-driving features have become the next front in the battle for vehicle sales and profits.
