As an oil and gas producing country, Brunei Darussalam has a high potential to become renowned and a great example in the world stage if the country can one day fully embrace electric vehicles (EV), a senior official from BYD (‘Build Your Dreams’), a leading Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, said.
“In my opinion, I believe that Brunei can push to popularise EVs. The pace can even be faster than Singapore. This is because from the aspects of overall economy, environmental conservation as well as energy, EVs are essential for the Brunei market,” General Manager of Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division from BYD Auto Industry Company Limited Liu Xueliang said.
As a country that produces oil and gas, he added, “If one day, cars on Brunei roads are 100 per cent EVs, every country will see Brunei differently.”
