Ebbett Pukekohe welcomes BYD - the world's biggest new-energy vehicle brand

Ebbett Pukekohe has announced it will represent BYD, the world's largest manufacturer of new-energy vehicles and one of New Zealand's fastest-growing automotive brands. BYD joins the dealership's existing sales line-up of Kia, MG, GWM and Nissan, and will move into the existing Ebbett Pukekohe main showroom.

The appointment brings the full BYD range to South Auckland buyers through a dealership that has served the Pukekohe community for decades, from the all-electric Atto 1 to the Shark Super Hybrid ute, alongside BYD’s wider line-up of electric and plug-in-hybrid vehicles.

BYD has risen from relative obscurity to become a household name in New Zealand in a remarkably short time, on the strength of its blade-battery technology, strong value and a rapidly expanding model range. Adding the brand gives Ebbett Pukekohe customers access to one of the most talked-about names in motoring, backed by local sales, service and aftercare.

“BYD has quickly become an important player in our market, and we’re pleased to bring the brand to Pukekohe,” said Ross Sheppard, Managing Director of Ebbett Pukekohe. "Our customers have been asking about these vehicles, and now they can see them, drive them and own them right here, with a local team they already know and trust. From the all-electric Atto 1 to the Shark Super Hybrid ute, there's a BYD for almost every South Auckland household and business."

"Adding BYD at Ebbett Pukekohe is a natural step for the group," said Walter van den Engel, Managing Director of Ebbett Automotive. "Pukekohe is an established part of our network, selling Kia, MG, GWM and Nissan and servicing Holden, Volkswagen and Skoda. Bringing one of the world’s leading new-energy brands to an established local team is exactly the kind of customer-focused, trust-based growth we want for our network.

The BYD range is available now at Ebbett Pukekohe, with test drives available.
