Exciting News: Inchcape+ Unveils BYD Electric Vehicle Showroom in Singapore, Partners with ComfortDelGro!

SINGAPORE - A significant milestone for the electric vehicle (EV) industry was reached as Inchcape+, a prominent subsidiary of automotive distributor Inchcape, launched a state-of-the-art BYD Commercial Mobility Hub on January 21. This new showroom is located at 1 Corporation Drive in Jurong and represents a $300,000 investment aimed at accelerating the adoption of electric commercial vehicles in Singapore.

Spanning 2,000 square feet, the showroom is not just a space to display vehicles; it is an innovative environment where businesses can explore BYD's cutting-edge electric truck technologies. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to test drive the vehicles and discover how tailored charging solutions can cater specifically to their operational needs.

Mr. James Ng, Managing Director of BYD for Singapore and the Philippines, emphasized the rarity of such dedicated commercial vehicle showrooms, underscoring BYD's commitment to educating clients about the latest in EV technology and enhancing overall buying experience. This strategic initiative comes at a time when businesses are increasingly seeking sustainable solutions for their transport needs.

Moreover, Inchcape+ has solidified its role in the commercial EV market by becoming the authorized distributor for BYD’s T9R heavy electric truck, which was appointed in December 2023. The T9R launched at the showroom features an impressive range of 320 kilometers and remarkable fast-charging capabilities, allowing it to recharge from 20% to 80% in as little as one hour.

Expanding its influence in the electric mobility space, Inchcape+ has also partnered with ComfortDelGro (CDG), a move aimed at transforming commercial fleets through electrification. This partnership promises to offer tailored solutions, integrating BYD's electric trucks into various sectors while addressing the essential infrastructure and charging needs critical to different industries.

Mr. Li Zhengxi, Director of Commercial Vehicles at Inchcape, highlighted the importance of robust charging infrastructure in enabling the widespread adoption of electric commercial vehicles. With CDG’s established network, businesses can rely on comprehensive support, including project financing and leasing schemes for BYD's electric trucks.

Inchcape has established itself in Singapore as a premier dealer, representing trusted brands such as Toyota, Lexus, Suzuki, and Hino. The recent unveiling signifies not only an expansion of their portfolio but also a concerted effort to lead the charge toward a greener transportation future.

In a prominent event at the Singapore International Transportation and Commercial Expo in 2024, Inchcape proudly announced its inaugural order of 100 BYD T9R trucks, marking a monumental step in the journey toward electrifying commercial fleets across the nation.
