1200 units of BYD YUAN Pro EVs (known locally as S1 PRO) are exported to Costa Rica this year. This batch of BEVs sets a new sales record in Latin America for BYD.
The YUAN Pro is designed with BYD’s latest Dragon Face 3.0 design, with large and thick tires. The smooth body lines outline the whole vehicle, giving it a dynamic and lively appearance. In terms of performance, the YUAN Pro is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery and a permanent magnet synchronous single motor, with a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum torque of 210N·m. It has a range of 401km (NEDC) and can accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in only 3.9 seconds.
As the leader in decarbonization in Latin America, Costa Rica has introduced a national decarbonization plan and is expected to have 70% of public transport running on electricity by 2035.
BYD provides a wide range of electric vehicle products in line with the demand of the local market. According to the official data, BYD has ranked first in Costa Rica’s EV for three consecutive years. In the first quarter of 2022, BYD accounted for about 50% of the local EV market, with a year-on-year sales growth of 220%.
