China's largest auto show showcases all-electric future, local brands dominate

China's largest auto show opened in Beijing on Thursday with the biggest names showing off their latest electric vehicles (EVs), underlining how the world's largest auto market is already in an all-electric state of mind, and isn't looking back. Automakers are set to unveil 117 new models versus 93 at last year's show in Shanghai，while overall 278 new energy vehicles (NEVs) will go on display, seven more than last year, organisers said. The show, which runs through early next month, comes as NEV sales hit a milestone in early April, accounting for over 50% of cars sold in China, auto association data showed.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD is set to debut its upscale brand, Denza, at the Beijing auto show, indicating a bold foray into the luxury EV market. According to Reuters, the launch of the Denza Z9GT sedan challenges established players like Mercedes-Benz in an attempt to redefine luxury for the EV generation.

BYD has dropped a very tasting looking rear-drive hot hatch concept at its Beijing show presentation today. While the Shark dual cab ute was notable for its absence, the Ocean M certainly did a great job of creating a buzz instead.

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has added a fleet of ForwardX autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and autonomous forklifts to its battery production line. This is a news story by the Forkliftaction News team, a weekly independent publication about forklifts and the materials handling industry.

Chinese EV maker BYD will showcase its premium brand's first sedan at the Beijing auto show from Thursday, in a challenge to the likes of Germany's Mercedes-Benz which three years ago pulled out of the brand's development citing slow sales. The Denza Z9GT is the fruit of BYD founder Wang Chuanfu persisting with the brand after Mercedes-Benz effectively became a sleeping partner in their decade-old 50-50 premium EV venture by cutting its stake to 10%. The car will complement Denza's N7 and N8 SUVs and D9 multipurpose vehicle, whose surging sales have contributed to BYD's EV domination at the expense of legacy foreign automakers.

How the Chinese EV maker is shaping-up to be a formidable force in the world of electric mobility

The Ocean-M will be based on a new all-electric platform and is the industry's first rear-wheel drive all-electric performance hatchback, according to BYD.
