In a move that underscores New Zealand’s growing commitment to a sustainable automotive future, BYD, a global leader in New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), has solidified its partnership with Ateco Group by renewing their exclusive sales and distribution agreement. Announced on February 3, 2025, this renewed contract ensures that Kiwi drivers will continue to enjoy access to BYD’s cutting-edge electric vehicle lineup through Ateco’s expert network.
The steadfast collaboration between BYD and Ateco has been a game-changer for New Zealand’s EV market since its inception. Leveraging BYD’s reputation as the world’s foremost electric car manufacturer and Ateco’s strategic distribution expertise, the partnership has successfully accelerated the adoption of zero-emission vehicles across the country. The renewal of this agreement highlights the two companies’ shared vision for a cleaner, greener future and positions BYD as a steadfast player in the EV adoption race in New Zealand.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with BYD as we work toward achieving a more sustainable transport landscape in New Zealand,” said a representative from Ateco Group. “This renewal signifies both companies’ commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and environmentally conscious solutions to meet the needs of Kiwi drivers.”
Particularly exciting is the ongoing expansion of BYD’s model range, which has already proven to be a hit with environmentally savvy Kiwis. From sleek sedans to versatile SUVs featuring BYD’s innovative Blade Battery technology, the brand is bringing premium EV options to New Zealanders, backed by Ateco’s proven support infrastructure, sales expertise, and commitment to exceptional customer service.
The renewed agreement also aligns perfectly with New Zealand’s broader climate goals, including its push toward phasing out internal combustion engine vehicles and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As more drivers make the switch to EVs, the Ateco-BYD partnership looks set to remain at the forefront of the country’s electric revolution.
