Discussion about alternative-fuel technologies for future vehicles is hot and also varied as the world's automakers pursued strategies for nearly everything from hydrogen fuel cells to ethanol, hybrid, battery and natural gas. In Detroit auto show 2009, green auto is still a focus. Almost every automaker at the show raced to unveil their strategies to create mass-produced electric cars within two or three years, making some wonder: after five years, who could be the ultimate winner in the electric auto industry?
Originally world's biggest mobile handset battery maker, Chinese BYD Auto became the focus of Detroit show and hit the headlines in US newspapers for its electric cars, the first mass-produced model in the world which came to the China market in December, priced at around $22,000. "We are confident of exporting our electric cars to the US market in 2011," said Li Zhuhang, general manager of BYD's auto export trade division. He also said the BYD electric car will hit the European market "a little bit earlier than entering US market". Li believes in the company's electric auto future, because "BYD is the first and only one who has 100 percent mastered the core technology of the battery".
