SIXT charges toward electric future
SIXT Australia will add hundreds of new electric cars to its Australian rental fleet over the next 12 months.
A new deal with manufacturer BYD will see at least 500 of its electric vehicles (EVs) added to the SIXT fleet.
SIXT aims to develop the largest and most wide-ranging EV fleet for hire in Australia and the new BYD cars are expected to be available from the middle of this year.
SIXT Australia CEO Matthew Beattie said the BYD partnership was an example of the company’s commitment to leading the mobility market towards an EV future.
“Whether heading on a family road trip, a weekend away or a business trip, the BYDs we will have in our fleet will make choosing an EV even more attractive for customers and corporates looking to save on fuel costs and minimise their footprint,” Mr Beattie said.
“The BYD ATTO 3 is an exclusive offering with SIXT for anyone looking to rent one in Australia. They offer an uncompromising EV experience with a 400km manufacturer advertised charge range.”
BYD has evolved from being the world’s largest battery manufacturer to a leader in EV sales worldwide, launching the ATTO 3 model in Australia last year.
SIXT launched in 2021 with the largest fleet of electric cars in Australia and the new BYD partnership will accelerate plans to convert half of its 16,000 nationwide rental fleet to electric in the coming years.
