China is the world's largest automotive consumer market, and if it chooses to move away from fuel-powered vehicles, it could potentially reshape the entire auto industry permanently. As China's strength grows, so does the global recognition of its new energy vehicle leaders, with BYD standing out as a prime example. Chinese electric vehicles are now drawing attention and showing great promise on the international stage.
Carlos Ghosn, chairman of the Mitsubishi Motors Alliance, once stated that in the next decade, the pursuit of advanced driving technology and the goal of a pollution-free society will bring unprecedented changes to the automotive industry—more significant than any seen in the past 50 years. While some have doubted his predictions, others remain hopeful. However, one Chinese company has already made a bold move: BYD, which has successfully deployed its electric buses to over 200 cities across 50 countries on six continents within just six years. This achievement highlights the growing influence of Chinese-made electric vehicles.
On December 1st, Okinawa, Japan, was enjoying a cool breeze and a pleasant climate. At Naha New Port, the arrival of BYD’s K9 pure electric bus marked a historic moment for Chinese high-end manufacturing entering the Japanese market. The event featured traditional Japanese ceremonies, with 10 sleek blue K9 buses lined up at the port, blending seamlessly with the blue skies and seas of Okinawa. The "BYD" logo on the front of each bus symbolized a major milestone: BYD became the first and only Chinese automaker to successfully enter the Japanese auto market.
Over 200 attendees, including officials from Japan’s Cabinet Office, Okinawa Prefectural Government, business leaders, and media representatives from both countries, witnessed this momentous occasion. The K9 model features cutting-edge lithium iron phosphate batteries, bidirectional inverter charging and discharging technology, wheel drive systems, keyless entry, and electronically controlled air suspension. Designed with Japan’s unique seismic conditions in mind, the K9 also includes a VTOL function, acting as a mobile power source capable of supplying energy to external devices like refrigerators or induction cookers.
This K9 fleet is the first all-electric bus group in Okinawa’s history. It will serve as a shuttle bus at the port, transporting large numbers of passengers to a nearby transfer station. Though the route is short, the zero-emission electric bus represents a significant step forward for visitors from around the world to experience Okinawa sustainably.
Recently, China announced that it has begun researching the timeline for phasing out traditional fuel vehicles. This announcement has sparked widespread interest and concern among global media and automotive industries. If China, the world's largest car market, moves away from fuel-powered vehicles, it could fundamentally change the future of the automobile industry.
While foreign automakers have focused on the Chinese market, BYD has taken a different approach, expanding its reach globally. Currently, BYD accounts for 13% of the world's electric vehicle production. According to Liu Xueliang, General Manager of BYD Asia Pacific Automotive Sales Division, the company has mastered core technologies such as batteries, motors, and electronic control systems. He believes that BYD’s entry into Okinawa is not an accident but a strategic move in its global expansion plan.
Industry analysts highlight four key advantages that Chinese companies have in developing electric vehicles. First, the government's green economic policies support the growth of eco-friendly vehicles. Over the years, China has promoted green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, actively driving economic transformation. Second, China has the world's largest new energy vehicle market. In 2016 alone, over 500,000 new energy vehicles were accumulated, with electric vehicles making up the majority. Today, one out of every two electric vehicles worldwide is being driven in China.
Third, China leads the world in clean energy investment, which supports the development and promotion of environmentally friendly vehicles. Additionally, China has abundant lithium reserves, making the development of lithium batteries highly promising. Professor Hiroshi Miyuki from Japan’s University of Science believes that in 10 or 20 years, Chinese-made electric vehicles may be seen on highways around the world.
