Global auto markets were rocked by a recent agreement between Uber, the global ride-sharing app, and BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle brand that is now the world's largest EV manufacturer and exporter.

While BYD will surely benefit through its partnership with Uber, the extra 100,000 vehicles in the first phase of the agreement with Uber represents only a modest percentage increase in BYD"s global sales.

Far more important is how this agreement will transform Uber. BYD is the most vertically integrated motor vehicle company today, and earns very high marks for vehicle quality and reliability, which will keep its cars on the road instead of in costly repair shops. The cars are fast-charging, with long-lasting battery life. And BYD can produce at far lower costs than non-Chinese carmakers.

This all adds up to Uber now able to create new markets as fast as BYD delivers cars to put on the road.

全球乘車共享應用程式優步(Uber) 與中國電動車品牌比亞迪(BYD) 最近達成的一項協議震動了全球汽車市場。商。

雖然比亞迪肯定會透過與Uber的合作而受益，但與Uber第一階段協議中額外增加的10萬輛汽車僅代表比亞迪全球銷量的小幅成長。

更重要的是該協議將如何改變 Uber。 比亞迪是當今垂直整合程度最高的汽車公司，在車輛品質和可靠性方面獲得了很高的評價，這將使其汽車繼續在路上行駛，而不是在昂貴的維修店裡。 這些汽車充電速度快，電池壽命長。 比亞迪的生產成本遠低於非中國汽車製造商。

這一切使得 Uber 現在能夠像比亞迪交付汽車上路一樣快速地創造新市場.
