Singapore, 12 July 2019 – E-Auto, a division of Vantage Automotive Limited (VAL), is pleased to announce its collaboration with BYD Singapore to retail BYD passenger cars in Singapore. This appointment represents a significant milestone for both VAL and BYD in paving the way to a growing market trend for electric vehicles (EV) in Singapore. E-Auto will start with retailing the e6 model and there will be other exciting models in the near future.
Mr Christopher Chin, Managing Director of VAL, said: “We thank BYD for this valuable opportunity to represent them in Singapore and we look forward to elevate BYD EV the definitive choice for the EV market segment. As always, VAL is committed to exceeding our customers’ expectations and providing the best customer experience to all existing and potential BYD car owners.”
The BYD e6 is a zero emission vehicle, which fully charges in one and a half hours, allowing it to travel up to 400 km on a single charge, with its regenerative braking system. It is also highly reliable and requires minimal maintenance, making it appealing to many. The electric charging network infrastructure continues to grow steadily in Singapore with SP Group driving the initiative, and this is a timely evolution which makes the BYD EV a practical and convenient proposition for car buyers in Singapore.
Mr James Ng, Managing Director of BYD Singapore, said: "We are very pleased to collaborate with VAL, an industry expert, to offer Singaporeans the green and dynamic BYD e6. Customers will find it a delight to own one, as it is an eco-friendly and comfortable car that will meet most transport needs. We hope to offer other BYD models in Singapore in time to come. We are most excited as EVs are the future for Singapore as well as the rest of the world."
The BYD e6 will be priced at S$133,888* with Certificate of Entitlement (COE). Come 19 July 2019, all interested customers can visit the BYD Showroom at 305 Alexandra Road to experience the dynamic BYD e6.
