Uber plans to use 100,000 electric BYD cars on its ride-hailing platform, starting in Europe and Latin America. This was announced as part of a multi-year strategic partnership between Uber and BYD. The partnership will see BYD provide pricing and financing deals for its electric vehicles to Uber drivers in Europe and Latin America. Uber and BYD will also collaborate to develop "autonomous-capable vehicles" for Uber's ride-hailing network. BYD is a major Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer that has seen significant growth in recent years.
