Electric vehicle maker BYD expands UK operations

Harmony Auto plans to expand BYD's sales network across the UK, with new stores expected to open by the end of the year in cities including Bristol and Cambridge, and in East London's Romford.

Founded in China in 1995 as a rechargeable battery maker, BYD has branched out during the past three decades into automobiles, rail transit, and electronics. To date, its new-energy vehicles have entered markets in more than 90 countries and regions.
