BYD India Launches T3 MPV and T3 Minivan

BYD (Build Your Dreams) India, a subsidiary of BYD Group, China, has announced its foray into India’s pure electric van segment with the introduction of two new pure EVs – T3 pure electric passenger MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) and T3 pure electric commercial logistics minivan. 

“In the past few years, with the great support of Indian Government and our local partners, BYD has realized the local design, R&D, manufacturing of electric buses in India, and established battery manufacturing facilities here. We are also the first OEM in the country to export e-buses to overseas markets from India. Our pure electric buses have cemented their position as a market leader in the Indian e-bus segment,” said Mr. Liu Xueliang, Managing Director of BYD India.  

The T3 MPV and T3 minivan models adopt BYD’s proprietary battery technology. The vehicle offers keyless entry, push-button start, a music system with Bluetooth connectivity, reverse parking camera and sensors, and well-designed spaces for cargo storage or passengers. The vehicles are equipped with automatic transmission, which makes them among the most easily operable vehicles.

Both models also come with advanced safety features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electric Parking System (EPB), Brake Override System (BOS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and more. The regenerative braking system helps to improve range and save energy, while the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication system provides smart management and maintenance.

The T3 MPV and T3 minivan can effectively reduce the cost of urban logistics distribution. Adopting BYD’s cutting-edge technology, one single T3 MPV or T3 minivan can save fuel consumption and emissions equivalent to 5 passengers cars. Both models require only 1.5 hours to fully charge using DC charging equipment, and both also support standard AC chargers. Once fully charged, both models can travel up to 300km.
