In addition to supplying EcoContact 6 Q tyres for factory fitment on the BYD Seal, Continental tyres are original equipment on the BYD Seal U. The electric SUV is available with Continental PremiumContact C – the ‘C’ standing for ‘Comfort’ – in size 235/50 R19 99V. According to Continental, this OE supply arrangement applies in “numerous countries” where the Seal U is sold.
Export models of the new BYD Seal are leaving the factory on Continental EcoContact 6 Q tyres. BYD has approved the Continental tyre in 235/45 R19 99V XL as original equipment for numerous markets, including the UK and Ireland.
For Hankook Tire, original equipment tyre supply to the BYD T4K one-tonne electric truck is an opportunity to “further enhance its strategic relationship with BYD and solidify its presence in the Chinese market, one of the world’s largest EV markets.” BYD has jointly developed the T4K with GS Global specifically for the South Korean market, where it will wear Hankook RA08 tyres.
Chinese car maker BYD debuted its new EA1 electric hatchback at the 2021 Shanghai Motor Show, and ZC Rubber is proud to share that the car was unveiled with Chaoyang tyres as original equipment. The EA1 wears Chaoyang RP76 tyres in size 195/60 R16.
