The upcoming Denza electric car – a product of the Daimler AG and BYD Chinese joint venture – will have its world premiere at the Auto China trade fair in Beijing, in April 2014.
Until its market introduction happens sometime in the second half of the year, Daimler AG and BYD have entered an agreement with ABB – one of the world's leading power and automation technology companies – to supply fast chargers for the car that are to be sold through Denza dealerships along with the vehicle.
“The DENZA represents a significant step in sustainable transportation for the Chinese automotive market. It was vital, that we have the right infrastructure partner to support this innovative concept,” saod Arno Röhringer, COO of BYD Daimler New Technology Co. “ABB is the ideal technology partner for us, as they have proven themselves worldwide including China with chargers and - equally important - the service to install it.”
Some sources say that the Denza is based on the Mercedes-Benz MFA (Modular Front Architecture) platform, as the concept previewing the production model was based on the old Mercedes-Benz B-Class W245. Despite this, its electric engine and batteries aren't shared with the upcoming B-Class Electric Drive.
