BYD

Li Auto had 11,600 insurance registrations last week, Xpeng 7,200, Zeekr 6,200, Leapmotor 9,100 and Aito 7,500.

BYD has launched the Sealion 07 EV in Norway -- rebranded locally as the Sealion 7 -- after launching the electric SUV in other European markets earlier this month.

BYD's next-generation blade battery will improve the range of vehicles and extend the life cycle of the battery itself, an executive said.

A Nio executive has denied a rumor that the company will be acquired by BYD, after the fake information circulated widely on social media.

Currently 90 percent of China's power batteries are transported by road, and rail transportation is expected to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

BYD is developing a smart driving chip with a computing power of 80 TOPS that will be used in the company's models priced between RMB 80,000 ($11,060) and RMB 300,000, according to local media.

Li Auto had 12,300 insurance registrations last week, Xpeng 6,300, Zeekr 6,000, Leapmotor 8,500 and Aito 7,200.

In the January-October period, sales of the Dynasty lineup exceeded 1.58 million units, contributing about half of the BYD brand's sales in the same period.

BYD was founded in February 1995 with an initial workforce of around 20 employees. Now it has become one of China's largest automakers, with a total workforce of more than 900,000.

The Denza Z9 is available in PHEV and BEV variants, and its tri-motor powertrain allows the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
