Recent regulatory filings with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reveal that BYD will use its new TZ200XYAT 240 kW (322 hp) motor in a wide range of mainstream vehicles. While we do not have too many details yet, this motor is being used for RWD 800 V architecture vehicles, signifying an architecture upgrade for some models and a shift in primary drive axle for others. As the vehicles are also losing weight while adding power, some on Chinese social media predict that this motor will be a scaled down version of the surprisingly compact, high-speed motor in the Han L. If that is the case, performance will depend largely on gearing and tuning.

The Qin Max measures 4,866 mm in length and features a single motor with 120 kW and 240 kW options.

Over the weekend BYD introduced a refreshed Han, increasing the battery range of the DM-I (PHEV) to 245 km (152 mi), almost doubling the battery range. More than many early BEV’s and enough range to cover typical weekly usage with a couple of charges. In addition, fuel efficiency once the battery is depleted increased to 3.44 l/100 km (68 mpg). On the BEV Han, range increased to 635 km (394 mi) on mainstream models and 705 km (438 mi) on the top spec, up from 605 km and 701 km on previous models.While new product was being launched, China announced significant regulatory changes: in order to qualify for the purchase tax  exemption, PHEVs would need to have a range of at least 100 km (62 mi) and BEVs would have to meet stricter efficiency targets. Several other regulatory announcements, particularly around pricing, and product announcements were also made over the weekend, with more anticipated. Looking at product and regulation together helps to illustrate BYD's overall position in the changing Chinese market, with implications that extend beyond their borders.

BYD's new Yangwang U7 pushes total output to 1,341 hp with other specifications remain largely unchanged.

The refreshed BYD Yuan Plus (aka, Atto 3) appeared in recent regulatory filings with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Overall, the styling shows only minor tweaks to the exterior. However, there is one seemingly minor visual difference with significant implications, as pointed out by qq.com: the charging port has been moved from the front fender, below the A pillar (see below), to the rear fender (see top image).

China will boost consumption and improve regulations to ensure steady and high-quality growth of the automobile industry as it faces challenges such as disorderly competition during rapid development, officials noted at an industry forum recently.

①BerkshireHathaway has reportedly fully divested its holdings in BYD. ②Southbound capital has recorded net inflows for 18 consecutive weeks. ③The market is betting that interest rate cuts may exceed the Federal Reserve's expectations. ④Li Auto and CATL have reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement.

Manufacturers have to to reveal their projects to the Chinese government, and these are all cars of the future in China, including the Toyota bZ7 and GMW ORA 5

Hot on the heels of the Fang Cheng Bao Ti7 PHEV SUV, BYD has started rolling out significant upgrades across its DM-i PHEV models.
