BYD reduces fuel consumption of hybrid cars by 10% trough software update


BYD has reduced fuel consumption of its fifth-generation DM hybrid tech to just 2.6 liters per 100 km when the battery is depleted.

The measurement is based on the NEDC standard and has been certified by the National Motor Vehicle Quality Inspection and Testing Center (Guangdong). The fuel efficiency optimization will be provided to all BYD vehicles equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology through over-the-air (OTA) upgrades, the company said. BYD sold 344,296 NEVs in July, roughly on par with the same period last year, as PHEV sales declined sequentially for the fourth consecutive month.
