BYTON is actively pushing forward with its product R&D and preparing for mass production. Its trial production workshop was officially put into use on April 1 this year. The stamping, painting, welding, assembly, and battery workshops will be roofed by the end of this year, laying a solid foundation to begin official production. In August 2018, BYTON rolled off its first drivable engineering prototype for various tests. BYTON’s first volume production model, based on its premium smart SUV concept, the BYTON M-Byte Concept, will be officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2019. It will be manufactured at the factory in Nanjing, Jiangsu and sold worldwide.
