BYD India, a subsidiary of one the world's leading New Energy Vehicles (NEV) manufacturer BYD, revealed the name of its soon-to-be-launched electric MPV - 'BYD eMAX 7'. The BYD eMAX 7 will be the successor of India's first electric MPV and the company's first-ever product in the Indian car segment - BYD e6. The new eMAX 7 is set to replace the BYD e6.
