Two weeks ago, we brought you a sneak peak at VeChain and DNV GL’s Digital Low Carbon Ecosystem. The ecosystem encourages China’s citizens to take part in eco-friendly activities by rewarding them with tokens that will be used for discounts and services.

On September 21, BYD’s Official Cloud Service WeChat account launched instructions on how to join. Users can download the app in the BYD D++ store, while binding it to the WeChat Mini Program allowing them to conveniently check their accumulated Carbon Credits. This initiative should encourage drivers to utilize their electric features, reducing the amount of pollution coming from the streets of China. Let’s take a look at the vehicles currently available, according to the official instructions:

QIN PRO (Hybrid and Full Electric Model)

This hybrid sedan debuted at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show. Since then, more than 52,000 models have been sold in China.

TANG (Hybrid and Full Electric)

This full-size hybrid SUV sold more than 62,000 models in 2018, but only the latest version is currently supporting the Low Carbon Ecosystem.

Song (Hybrid and Full Electric)

This smaller version of the Tang sold more than 91,000 models in 2018. Only the latest version is compliant.

In the future, all remaining BYD models equipped with the rotating pad display will support the Low Carbon Ecosystem. For reference, BYD sold over half a million vehicles in China in 2018, showing that there is lots of room for growth. With more than 200,000 supported vehicles potentially already on the roads, it’s easy to see BYD’s customers bringing exceptional volume to the VeChain platform.
