Uber to start using BYD cars in Europe, Latin America and develop ‘autonomous-capable vehicles’
Uber plans to use 100,000 electric BYD cars on its ride-hailing platform, starting in Europe and Latin America, the two companies announced Wednesday.
The companies will also develop “autonomous-capable vehicles” for Uber’s ride-hailing platform, the press release said.
The multi-year strategic partnership comes despite the EU following the U.S. this year in raising tariffs on imports of Chinese-made electric cars.
