On April 5, 2024, the National Peony Promotion Ambassador Launch and BYD Dolphin Honor Edition Mass Delivery Ceremony took place in Luoyang. Proud owners collectively received their BYD Dolphin Honor Edition vehicles, which, through recruitment by OceanNet, have transformed into "National Peony Promotion Ambassadors." Adorned with "Floral Festival Service" stickers, these vehicles will offer "hail and ride" services to visitors throughout the Luoyang Peony Cultural Festival.
Luoyang, renowned as a capital of thirteen dynasties, boasts the epithet of a "thousand-year imperial capital and the city of peonies." As a blockbuster cultural and tourism IP, the Luoyang Peony Culture Festival, with its origins in the Peony Fair of the Sui Dynasty, carries a history spanning over 1,600 years and has been recognized as part of the national intangible cultural heritage. Each April, this festival showcases the elegant and fragrant peonies, symbols of beauty and happiness, drawing over ten million tourists to the city.
During this cultural festival, BYD Ocean Network's Dolphin owners aren't just offering free transportation services to visitors from all over the country. They're also stepping up as ambassadors of the city, spreading the word about peony culture, showcasing the urban image, and enriching travelers' journeys with their warmth and smiles.
The Dolphin model, involved in this service, marks the first product of BYD Ocean Network's Ocean series. It clinched the title of the domestic A0-class car sales champion in both 2022 and 2023, becoming the highest annual selling A0-class model in the country's history. Just this past March, the model hit a monthly sales figure of 21,048 units, with its cumulative sales surpassing 650,000 units by the end of March.
On February 23 this year, the Dolphin model welcomed a significant upgrade, introducing the all-new Dolphin Honor Edition. This edition is notably equipped with a rare-for-its-class rear multi-link independent suspension system, along with a steering wheel that adjusts in four directions, a 60W Type-C charging port in the front, and a tiered cover for the trunk. Additional enhancements include privacy glass for the rear seats, a 50W wireless phone charging capability, and a ventilation system for the front seats—a rarity in its class. Moreover, it offers six solid colors and two dual-tone options for the body, significantly elevating the user experience.
As a flagship model synonymous with cutting-edge marine internet energy, innovative design, advanced technology, and new products, the Dolphin has become a distinctive emblem of refined urban mobility. Joining the ranks of public welfare ambassadors for the Luoyang Peony Cultural Festival, the Dolphin pledges to offer tourists high-quality travel services with its champion quality, injecting fresh vitality into this blockbuster cultural and tourism IP.
