Shanghai (Gasgoo)- BYD Company Limited announced on February 1 that its board of directors agreed a proposal that allows BYD Auto Industry Company Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary, to inject an additional RMB 200 million as registered capital into Shenzhen DENZA New Energy Automotive Co., Ltd. (DENZA), a joint venture in partnership with Daimler.

BYD Auto Industry Company Limited's equity in DENZA will remain at 50% after the capital increase completes.

The BYD's subsidiary had added RMB500 million in DENZA as early as May, 2017, which was mainly used as operational capital for the joint venture in order to alleviated the pressure of extended cycle to receive subsidy over the DENZA's business operation caused by the adjustment of national new energy vehicle (NEV) subsidy policy. The latest capital increase signals BYD's confidence in the NEV joint venture promising development.
