In order to provide comprehensive services to Thai consumers, our sales and after-sales network has already covered the majority of provinces in Thailand, and we expect the number of BYD stores throughout Thailand to reach 60 this month."

The extended range version of the BYD DOLPHIN is equipped with a larger capacity battery pack and features BYD's industry-leading Blade Battery, offering an NEDC range of 490 kilometers. Prathanwong Pornprapha, CEO of RêVER Automotive, mentioned, "The BYD DOLPHIN extended range variant launched this time has an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds and a torque of 310 N·m, making it suitable for Thailand's diverse terrain and enabling more consumers to enjoy and own new energy vehicles."
