The Chinese Byd stands out in the automotive industry for having the whole chain inside the same company, manufacturing the complete system of electric motors, batteries, electrified transmissions, control units and semiconductors. The company has recently presented the two models with which it enters the Italian market. It is BYD Atto 3, a compact SUV powered by a motor featuring 150 kW/204 HP and 310 Nm of torque, able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds and with a 60.5 kWh battery and autonomy up to 565 km in the urban cycle. BYD HAN is instead a sedan with two motors that develop a combined power of 380 kW/517 HP. The maximum autonomy is 662 km in the urban cycle. A distinguishing element of BYD is the Blade Battery, made of lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP), which gives up cobalt.
