Chinese Auto Maker BYD Locating its North American Headquarters Downtown on Figueroa

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Chinese alternative-energy auto maker BYD may not be a household name in the United States, but Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa hope that it soon will be.

The pair of elected officials were among those at City Hall this morning as BYD Chairman Chuanfu Wang announced that the company is located its North American headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles and will be starting field trials of its electric vehicle here in the fall.

"This is a nightmare for the Texan oil companies," Schwarzenegger told those gathered.

Approximately 150 jobs will be created at the headquarters, which will be located at 1800 S. Figueroa, just south of the 10 freeway.

The site will be focused on marketing, sales, technical support and local product design for the company's green vehicles, solar panels and battery storage stations, Wang said through an interpreter.

"These jobs are high-paying, green collar jobs," Villaraigosa said. "BYD will be the core of L.A.'s green tech hub."

The company currently has two models of electric vehicle on sale in China, and produces its own battery technology. It intends to enter the U.S. market first through fleet contracts, then later by sales to the public.

As part of the deal to bring the company to Los Angeles, the city committed that those who buy vehicles from the firm will be able to get charging stations installed at their home or work within seven days. The city will be leasing several dozen of the vehicles itself.

"It's fabulous! What's not to like?" said Central City Association head Carol Schatz when asked her thoughts about the news. She praised the work of Deputy Mayor Austin Beutner in getting the deal done. "He is making a huge difference."

Wang founded BYD, which stands for "Build Your Dreams," in 1995. The company's auto division was launched in 2003. Its F3DM dual-mode electric vehicle was introduced in China in December of 2008, and the new e6 electric vehicle will start sales shortly.

BYD has a capitalization of approximately $35 billion. Billionaire investor Warren Buffet recently purchased a 9.9 percent stake in the firm and the firm's line of vehicles is on display at Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Shareholders Meeting, which is going on now.

Shanghai, May 19 (Gasgoo.com) China's electric car maker BYD Auto is set to starting selling its electric car e6 in the United States later this year, and the BYD e6 is likely to be priced at about $40,000, People's Daily reported today.

Meanwhile, preparations for the BYD e6's entry into the U.S. market are well under way, said Xia Zhibing, general manager of BYD Auto. The newly established BYD North American sales headquarters in Los Angeles will sell the alternative-energy cars. The BYD e6 has passed all necessary tests in the U.S.

Slowly but surely something is being done to revive the local assembly industry (CKD assembly).

With a new administration ( Aquino presidency) Im very optimistic because one of the programs included in the platform of government of Noynoy is to revive the manufacturing industry.

So, eventually, if things will get better for local assemblers (via the MVDP), then maybe the tsikot.ph PHUV prototype program can be activated again.

Yeah yeah yeah......

kailangan daw meron "overwhelming evidence" para maconsider na delusion. pag wala itong isang component na ito, hindi pwede gamitin yung word na delusion.
