BYD Ecuador and the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) announced that an Interinstitutional Cooperation Agreement was formalized recently, with the aim of advancing the cause of electric mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean.
OLADE, under the leadership of its Executive Secretary, Andrés Rebolledo Smitmans, and BYD, represented by Jorge Burbano, Country Manager of BYD Ecuador, have signed this agreement, solidifying their joint commitment to promoting electric vehicles and accelerating energy transitions in the region.
The collaboration outlined in this agreement will encompass crucial elements such as promoting sustainable mobility, conducting workshops, and providing specialized training in electromobility. These initiatives will target both the public and private sectors, academia, specialized guilds, and civil society in Latin America and the Caribbean. Moreover, the partnership will involve site visits and technical demonstrations at OLADE facilities, specifically focusing on electromobility, for universities, technology centers, educational institutions, guilds, and related organizations. Additionally, BYD’s vehicles will be utilized in OLADE’s electromobility studies, aligning with OLADE’s work plans.
BYD will significantly contribute to this collaboration by providing a TANG EV electric vehicle model along with a charging station. This equipment will be used to demonstrate the electric infrastructure and the vehicle's autonomy, emphasizing the advantages of electric vehicles.
