  • BYD showcased a decade-long commitment to Belt & Road sustainability at COP28.

(BUSINESS WIRE)--BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer in new energy vehicles (NEVs) and power batteries, showcased its impactful contributions to sustainable development at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai, UAE, held from November 30 to December 12. This year’s conference, themed “Unite, Act, Deliver”, keeps focusing on fostering international collaboration to address urgent climate change challenges.

On December 8, Michael Shu, Managing Director of BYD Europe, attended the conference and delivered a compelling speech at the China Pavilion’s side event, shedding light on green practices under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Drawing on BYD’s extensive experience in actively contributing to the initiative, Michael Shu shared insights on fostering sustainable development for new energy technology companies along the Belt and Road.

Emphasizing BYD’s integral role in shaping a sustainable future, Michael Shu stated, “A decade ago, in response to the Initiative, BYD embraced an open and collaborative approach, gradually expanding its presence along the route. Our transformative journey, evolving from global product and technology outreach to leading the shift towards green energy, vividly illustrates our unwavering commitment to cultivating economic growth and employment in the Belt and Road regions.”

As a consistent champion of ecological innovation, BYD actively upholds climate commitments through green solutions and tangible actions. In a groundbreaking move last year, BYD became the world’s first automaker to cease combustion engine vehicle production, spearheading a revolutionary shift in the industry. BYD’s unique advantages in the new energy sector were further demonstrated by establishing the first Zero-Carbon Industrial Campus for a Chinese automotive brand at its global headquarters in Shenzhen. Recognition of BYD’s Zero-Carbon Industrial Campus, SkyRail, and SkyShuttle among Shenzhen’s top ten exemplary low-carbon initiatives at the China Pavilion’s Shenzhen Session on December 5 underscores the company’s leadership in sustainable practices.

During COP28, BYD also officially announced a collaboration with the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), targeting to jointly drive electric mobility and energy transformation processes across the 27 member countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. This strategic initiative reaffirmed BYD’s commitment to propelling global green transformation.

Additionally, BYD’s full electric products, including BYD HAN, BYD ATTO 3, and pure electric buses, provided carbon-free transportation services throughout the conference at Expo City Dubai, aligning with COP28’s zero-carbon transportation goals.

Looking ahead, BYD remains steadfast in its vision to Cool the Earth by 1°C, continuing to play a pivotal role as a global leader in new energy vehicles. The company will persist in employing forward-thinking strategies and innovative technologies to lead the global new energy vehicle industry, unwavering in its commitment to contributing even more to global sustainable economic development and environmental protection.
