China announced on Tuesday an electric car for ride hailing service, which is an adorable green hatchback called the D1 developed by Didi Chuxing and BYD firm, the top ride-hailing company in China that defeated Uber in 2016.
The D1 will have a range of 418 km as judged by NEDC "New European Driving Cycle". Also, there is a medium-sized screen on the dashboard as well as two more touchscreens on the back of both headrests for passengers to access navigation and other information.
Meanwhile, the driver's seat is extra comfy for extended use, and there's added legroom in the back seat. D1 will come with a Level 2 driver assistance system that includes lane-departure warning, automatic braking, and pedestrian collision warning.
In addition, a driver monitoring system to ensure that drivers keep their hands on the wheel and stay focused on the road. The five-seater D1 will feature a 136bhp (100kW) electric motor and lithium-ion battery from BYD’s Fudi factories in Chongqing.
According to DiDi, China has been building a deeper automotive ecosystem for its core mobility service by establishing an extensive alliance with manufacturers, energy providers and other industry players in the value chain.
