Detroit 2008: BYD targets the hybrid market (video)

Chinese automaker BYD Auto plans on coming to market with a new electric-hybrid vehicle in the second half of 2008. This car would offer a range of about 60 miles at 60 mi/h in full electric mode. It will be a midsize car based on the same platform as the F6, an Accord-lookalike which is already sold in China. The official name will be F6 DM ("dual mode"), meaning that the vehicle could run solely on electricity or with a combination of gas/electric power.
