LOS ANGELES---BYD is a rapidly developing car-maker in China. It makes green cars and other
green products, and the company said on Friday it would open a North American branch in Los Angeles, with plans to begin selling cars in the U.S. by the end of 2010.
BYD was started in 1995 and moved into the car business in 2003. The company now employs
150,000 people.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, says the arrival of BYD Inc, of Shenzhen, China, will create about 150 high-paying jobs, since the company has to employ managers and engineers. Once
it begins to sell cars in the United States, several hundred more jobs will be created in service and sales.
He also praised it as part of green-energy programs in U.S. The city is attracting high-tech, clean-energy
companies that will help reduce pollution. “As I’ve always said, what is good for the environment is also
good for development,” he adds.

one, and we also wish to make your green dream come true. We have been working for a greener
environment. We hope that we will lead to a cleaner and nicer future.” The company introduced its latest
