Under the motto "We're building the green mobility dream together," Chinese automaker BYD presented six e-limousines and e-SUV models at its press conference at IAA MOBILITY, which were also on display at the Shanghai Motor Show. The highlight was the European premiere of the SEAL U, an SUV offshoot of the Seal e-sedan. The other models are the Dolphin, Atto 3, Han and Tang. In addition, BYD introduced the Denza D9 at the PK, a large premium sedan with seven seats. The proprietary cell-to-body technology used by SEAL to integrate the batteries was also shown. The lid of the battery compartment also serves as the floor of the body.
