A fleet of luxury electric vehicles (EV) from Chinese manufacturers were showcased for the first time this week at the 100th Brussels Motor Show, which opened its doors to industry professionals and media on Friday.
Boosted by the European Union's green transformation policy, sales of EVs in Europe have been increasing in recent years. And Chinese EVs have proved popular among European buyers due to their competitive prices and high quality.
Build Your Dreams (BYD), the Chinese electric car manufacturer and inventor of the 3.0 blade battery, revealed three new models at the show.
"With our design, technology, services and dealer partners, BYD will try to stand out and provide the best possible experience for European consumers," said Mike Belinfante, spokesperson for BYD Europe.
The new X55 from Beijing Automobile (BAIC) was also officially unveiled at the show, and will be launched in Europe in February. Belgian car dealer OneAutomotive has introduced multiple models from BAIC Motor and DFSK (Dongfeng Sokon) to the markets in Belgium and Luxembourg over the last two years.
A OneAutomotive employee said: "In the past two years, the import volume of these two brands of cars has grown steadily.
