Chinese EV maker BYD has appeared in the 403rd product catalog released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) with a new sub-brand, “Linghui” (领汇, our translation). The filing showcases a distinct new logo for the marque, which market observers speculate may specifically target the ride-hailing sector to differentiate fleet sales from consumer products.
The application includes four vehicles—the Linghui e5, e7, e9, and M9—covering both sedan and MPV styles with plug-in hybrid and pure electric options. Most of the designs appear to be rebadged versions of the company’s current lineup. [TechNode reporting]
