TOKYO -- Chinese EV makers are going on the offensive in the commercial truck and bus market in Japan, led by a state-owned carmaker DFSK as well as private manufacturer BYD.
DFSK, a subsidiary of state-owned Dongfeng Motor, will supply 5,000 small trucks to Japan's SBS, which will buy another 5,000 from other Chinese automakers. BYD, another Chinese electric carmaker, aims to offer buses at a 40% discount to its current price of 40 million yen ($354,120) in Japan.
