Today, on February 25th, BYD Fudi Battery officials announced that they have decided to apply the research and development achievements of passenger vehicles to the field of two-wheelers. They will increase investment in the development of two-wheelers and collaborate with various parties to develop safe batteries that can be used for upstairs access.
As the mainstream mode of transportation for daily commuting, electric two-wheelers have facilitated people's travel but also pose risks of fire accidents.
On February 23rd, a fire accident caused by an electric two-wheeler parked on an overhead floor occurred in Nanjing. Although the specific cause of the accident is still under investigation, this incident once again reminds us to pay attention to fire safety issues related to electric two-wheelers.
According to statistics from the National Fire and Rescue Bureau, there were 21,000 reported cases of fire accidents involving electric two-wheelers nationwide in 2023, an increase of 17.4% compared to 2022. In 2022, there were 18,000 reported cases, representing a 23.4% increase from 2021.
In order to comprehensively address the safety concerns of electric two-wheelers, BYD Fudi Battery actively responds to national policies and market demands by increasing research and development investment in the field of electric two-wheelers and transferring passenger vehicle battery technology achievements to two-wheelers.
At the same time, BYD Fudi Battery will collaborate with various stakeholders to participate in industry policy and regulatory improvement, aiming to prevent the occurrence of such social issues and truly implement the concept of "allowing people to use batteries without worries."
