The three new models are BYD F8, BYD M6 and BYD S6. The BYD F8 is claimed to be China's first hard-top convertible sports coupe and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009; the BYD S6 is a large SUV model based on a mid-class car chassis; and the BYD M6 is a medium- to large-size MPV model also based on a mid-class car chassis. BYD said its M6 and S6 are all-new in-house developed models, not derived from its F6 model.
BYD has also announced its plan for the DM (Dual Mode) electric models. Based on its strength in ferrous battery and clean eco-friendly power-train technologies, BYD has recently attracted the investment from U.S. energy giant Buffett in exploring the electric vehicle market. BYD will apply it DM system to the production of all its vehicles. The BYD F3DM will be launched in December this year while the BYD F0DM and BYD F6DM will go on sale in 2009.
