BYD, China's leading new-energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, will deliver 1,500 NEVs to Norway by the end of this year.
The first batch of 100 BYD Tang electric SUVs will be shipped to Norway, the first European country in which BYD has expanded its passenger car market, at the end of May.
The company made the announcement on Wednesday at a ceremony marking the production of its millionth NEV. It is the first Chinese carmaker to have produced one million NEVs.
BYD's revenues soared 108.3 percent year on year to 40.99 billion yuan (about 6.37 billion U.S. dollars) in the first quarter. In the January-April period, BYD sold 80,413 all-electric vehicles, up 128.5 percent year on year.
