Can BYD Sell Cars in Collaboration with Toyota in Indonesia?

RiderTua.com – BYD has indeed developed and sold a number of electric cars. But they can collaborate with other car brands, such as Toyota which produces electric crossover sports cars. In fact, BYD could sell it in other countries such as Indonesia to add to its SUV line-up. But because it is a car produced in collaboration with another brand, of course there is a possibility that the model will not be sold here.

BYD and Toyota Develop Electric Cars

As previously known, BYD is one of the best-selling electric car brands worldwide, even surpassing Tesla last year. The products they offer are quite varied, but they are still willing to collaborate with other brands in developing BEV models. This is what he did with Toyota, where the two of them developed a BEV concept model in the form of a sports crossover.

The results of this collaboration between BYD and Toyota will later be sold in the Land of Bamboo Curtain, while achieving the electric vehicle sales target of 5.5 million units. This is also Toyota’s effort to expand its sales network there. Indeed, the model is quite promising, but it looks like this model can only be sold in the Land of Bamboo Curtain.
