BYD Autos Sell Well in Maroc

SHANGHAI, Apr 11, 2008 (SinoCast China Transportation Watch via COMTEX) -- BYDDF | news | PowerRating | PR Charts -- BYD Company Ltd., a Hong Kong-listed automotive manufacturer, is selling well autos in Maroc since April 2.

It has sold 90 units of BYD F3 model autos in one week. The auto is sold between 125,000 and 139,000 UAE Dirham per unit, which is 20 percent to 40 percent lower than the counterparts. On the other hand, the F3 model boasts its low oil consumption of 4.71 liters per 100 kilometers, which is most attractive to local consumers because local fuel is expensive.

BYD auto ranks on the best-seller list in Marrakech, the third largest city of Maroc.

The F3 model targets ordinary families, auto leasing companies and government departments. BYD autos will for the first time take part in Casablanca International Automotive Exhibition to be held this May.

Other models will be launched in Maroc soon, said a local agent.

China-made autos started entering Maroc since the start of 2006 and have attracted local consumers because of low prices and good quality. They have seized a considerable market share in the country.
