A senior project manager that can produce such a supercharged quality explanation without any single biased shows just how the quality the ends results of both the products and culture will be. Kudos. My full respects for the efforts.
However, the interview has 3rd grader questioning skills
@@alisurya: What do you mean with a 3rd grade questioning skill and how does a 1st grade looks like?
Steve Gao is an excellent BYD representative. His cordiality and sharing knowledge of the BYD bus business with Liu Xin are exemplary.
I wonder if Steven Gao is related to the other Mr Gao who founded the giant FOXCONN company
The US and China cooperation in EV and other advanced technology is a win-win for both countries. Peace and happiness to both countries.
Made in Lancaster, California.. as local as you can get. Kudos to BYD.. more people should know about BYD’s commitment to manufacturing in the USA.
…and we don’t hear or read about these great collaborations in the main stream media!😮. All we read ( especially from the Congress members and their political scientists, notably John Mearsheimer ) are “ we must contain the growth of China” “ China is our number one enemy “ China is our biggest threat! “
So pathetically building up their own fears.
Good reporting, to be honest, most Americans do not know about their local affairs, let alone foreign-operated businesses, that is how insulated they are.
These workers are paid handsomely in a small town that has limited job opportunity in a State that is hostile to manufacturers -not just against a new Chinese bus manufacturer. The history of establishing the BYD bus factory in Southern California is very colorful. BYD bus factory is a success story because BYD works with the politicians, material suppliers, and local residents to overcome their prejudice against Chinese business.
Sundown Towns and Sundown States are a no go for chinese businesses.
But BYD is subsidized by China, they can't earn any profit from making cars at all.
Let's see how long they can continue.
Liu Xin you have well captured to show and tell BYD's technology in America. Well done BYD.
Have no idea BYD has been operating in California since 2013.
I rode on these buses at Disneyland. They are used to shuttle guests from the off site parking lots to the park. They ride very smooth and look great.
I worked for a local municipal transit authority in Canada. Most of the business deals are built on "relationships" even if that means the new buses purchased cost 3-4X more while being inferior than competing products (like BYD). In addition, there are VERY EXPENSIVE software licenses that needs to be renewed on an annual basis to maintain these inferior buses that unnecessarily cost taxpayers millions of dollars. The corruption in Canada runs deep. 🍁🍁
*I.E. "FLYER"*
Sad to hear that Willchu but thanks for exposing the truth. Now i know why the bus fare keep increasing along with my tax.
I always suspect that but you confirmed it.
Very productive effort & rewarding results indeed.
TWo chinese speaking fluent English. I want to see two americans speaking fluent CHINESE? WHEN IS THIS POSSIBLE??? CHINA IS # 1 indeed
Most American think speaking other languages than English is not important! So until this pathetic mindset changes....we won't see two non Chinese conversing in Mandarin any time soon.
I read China is ahead on renewables, and solar panel production
China owns 80% of solar energy patents in the world, other countries contribute the other 20%.
I enjoyed this interview. Very calm and straight forward.
I wonder if BYD will consider opening such electric bus factories in Africa where most of the batteries minerals needed for these buses come from? That will be a huge market to consider!
African leaders are stupid lack of knowledge what know is loot and share the Chinese wants proper business men with good mindset
基础设施是一切的基础，充电、道路、治安等等
It just might do it someday.
Sooner than U would expect ... 😊.
Make sure top executives are in China. Remember Meng Wanzhou was held hostage in Canada.
Wow! Surprise to know and share all this stuff. 👍👍👍
More jobs created for the American people. I love it. Great news.
US have much to learn from China in respect of serving and spreading humanity instead of priority in capital greedy profit.
A win - win company in a zero sum country.
All men are one .Good luck to all
Fantastic job doing by BYD.
In a decade, built 700 buses in US since 2013, Meanwhile in China, 100k buses are professionally built every year.
There are many politics in US to prevent BYD from expanding.
Natural gas powered buses are popular in the U.S.
And America is lying to the world that China is the only country that's polluting the world!
She is Ms Liu Xin, from China. APEC.
Ms Liu is bilingual and fluent in both Mandarin and American English.
Interesting tour of the factory, it looks like these guys work as 30 years ago, it is more manufacture than automation, but I suppose Chinese company has to be very patient and go easy on Americans because they would not be able to breathe
True. American workers would go on strike if they don’t like the salary and benefits and have work overtime. They like to work slow and more coffee breaks .
@@haniahannslew4108 In my previous comment I also and mostly meant automation and new skills which would be difficult to introduce to the labour force who got used to work certain way in US car industry. It will take a lot of time to introduce high automation to this type of working culture, in my opinion.
Byd in Cali since 2013? Wow...
Nice! Proudly Made in America!
With Chinese technology and investment. Hope more of such factories opening in the US.
Wow! I would like to work in such a huge factory dealing with the latest battery and electric bus technology and in a comfortable 7 am to 3 pm working schedule. It would be a perfect job for me.
Even Tesla and Spacex are also chinese rebranded technology which the US dont want you to know. BYD supply all the part for Tesla....
Due to political reasons US local government are still NOT fully open to BYD EV Bus yet. otherwise they will be reached full manufacture capacity by now.
BYD had been here more than a decade ago prior to Trump starting his trade war and Biden had ramped it up further. It's a shame that CATL battery & BYD cars had to be pulled out when all these political circus of hate started to get worse.
BYD is famous company. It has many customers worldwide not just America.
BYD 比亚迪!
Build Your Dream!
simply wonderful, BYD provision of jobs for locals , USA keep on improving the technologies in the buses for the passengers & safety too
BYD is a Chinese company. They are using Chinese technology and Americans workers to build the buses for the US market.
This definitely an eye opener for America!
"Antelope Valley, the area where Lancaster is now located, was originally home to the Paiute tribe. The Antelope Valley's central geography initially served as the hub of a trade route for tribes trading between the California coast, the Central Valley, the Great Basin, and the pueblos of Arizona.[9] "
Great job, hope for better future of byd.
Byd is good,I hope Canadian market also will open soon.😄
it's not worth it, Canada is such a small little market besides it could be risky, Canada is known for kidnapping chinese CEOs and CFOs.
You gotta seek permission from the sleepy old man first....
Canada is just a waste of time. The city of Montreal had an electric bus trial with BYD, Volvo and a local company called Nova Bus. In the end the both the buses from BYD and Volvo were better and less expensive and they still went with the local company Nova Bus which costed over three times more on top of not having any A/C !
That would be too much for that potato brain.
@@etow8034 Agreed! I worked for a local municipal transit authority in Canada. Most of the business deals are built on "relationships" even if that means the new buses purchased cost 3-4X more to purchase while being inferior than competing products (like BYD).

Steve is good👏👏
Why not show some videos of the finalised buses working in the streets and to have some passenger comments before the end? Without those, this clip felt, indeed, very dry and not lively and did not reflect the prowess and contribution of the company to green energy push locally.
good Investment by China. Bravo
La montée en puissance de la Chine
Thacker Pass is the traditional homeland of several related Indigenous nations, including the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation, the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe, Lovelock Paiute Tribe, Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony.[25] Local Indigenous communities harvest traditional foods, medicines and supplies for sacred ceremonies in the region.[3] Members of the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe have stated that their tribe "descends from essentially two families who, hiding in Thacker Pass, managed to avoid being sent to reservations farther away from our ancestral lands" and hence that this tribe owes its existence to the shelter provided by the Pass.[26]
Thacker Pass is called Peehee mu'huh in the Paiute language, meaning 'rotten moon'. This name derives from an 1865 massacre that Native tribes contend occurred at Thacker Pass (though the BLM contends that the site is 15 miles away), where a band of Paiute families were killed.[27][4]: 1 [3]: 1
such a gerat example of corporation between the two countries, hope I have chance work there.😂
Jobs created, for America. Goodness. EV.❤❤❤
American workers which are actually from Mexico, Hondorus, Guatamala...😮
🤗👏👏👏👍💪🙏 regards from 🇲🇾 with ❤️
Yes, China, progress in cooperation, mutual benefits and peace. Well done!
No security concerns that these buses "can be used to spy" ??????😂😂😂
But but TTC buses were all BYDs...since..since at least 8yrs ago😥😥😥
🤣🤣
We guess BYD are working on American work pace .
Greetings and regards, Liu from former ambassador Patricia Rodríguez Hölkemyer and this server.
Building buses is more meaningful than building military weapons😅😅😅
What about the discrimination treatment of the Federal law against Chinese EV?
I wonder how BYD get along with the American Auto Workers Union..? They will kill any success story coming from Chinese Management/Technology. It's the American way of life..
If you read about this topic on mainstream media, they have a good relationship.
I didn't know that BYD was here in Cslifornia! When are the cars available?
CO2 emissions from the mine would amount to over 152,000 tons annually, (equal to a small city).[12]
The mine would consume 1.7 billion gallons of water annually (500,000 gallons per ton of lithium produced).[12] The mine's water use prompted a lawsuit from a local rancher who claimed that the hydrologist hired by the BLM to prepare reports assessing the mine's impact had a conflict of interest with Lithium Nevada.[28]
The mine overlaps with 2,866 acres (1,160 ha) of big sagebrush habitat and known golden eagle breeding sites.[29] The project may be disruptive to the habitat of Endangered Species Act-listed animals. A coalition of environmental groups filing a lawsuit against the mine stated that Thacker Pass is "critically important to wildlife because it connects the Double H Mountains to the Montana Mountains. The pass also provides lower-elevation habitat that wildlife need to survive the winter." The group also stated that the area constituted "one of the last big blocks of the sagebrush sea free of development."[30]
Additional environmental concerns include contamination from groundwater pollutants such as arsenic, air pollution from sulfuric acid leaching of lithium from clay sediments, and changes in the connectivity of groundwater and surface water systems. This could harm the habitat of the endangered Lahontan cutthroat trout and the Kings River pyrg (Pyrgulopsis imperialis), a rare springsnail not known to live anywhere else in the world.[30][31]
There are concerns about the mine's potential impacts on the safety of local communities: projects that bring a large predominately male workforce from outside the local area can generate local increases in drug use and violent crime,[4]: 1 and are associated with violence against Indigenous women.[4][32]
Hope the US government officials will allow BYD Cars 🚗 to come next 🙏🏾
well, that's so suspire BYD being here in 2016 !
😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The media in the USA doesn’t consider the job creation power of Chinese companies here in the US .
❤
Now electric buses, next maglev trains, bridges and roads. But only if those US neocons don't spoil the cooperation.
The big daddies that run America will never allow high speed rail in our cities!
One question. How does it feel working for a Chinese?
Should American feel low??
18 months is a looooong time for just one bus! come on
The manager has explained that it would start from customization discussion to final delivery. Customisation is not only about changing colour of the bus only but also the various details to suit local customer demands. As such, the outcome affects not only layout, routing of wiring, placement of important components, and fabrication/implementation of customer specific parts etc. I think it is one of the main reasons that we did not see much automatic assembly manufacturing/process being used, much similar to building of a Rolls Royce to a Toyoda.
want byd car in US
I've been waiting for BYD cars, but it seems like our politicians won't let it happen soon.
Once they finish the bus production line they will start EV car, public transport was the number one concern.
Won't happen!
11:58 "I don't know about safety" ha ha..the anchor trolling BYD safety standards :).
WHERE DO THEY GET THE LITHIUM FROM????????????????????????????
你好刘新
劉欣, her correct name.
How can it be ‘green’ when the giant battery can’t be recycle or disposal of in an environmentally friendly way???
Hi. 😮any job opening now 😮
You can find out on their NA website.
You should apply for it. This is great, owns by a Chinese owner. More jobs for American people. Be optimistic my friend.
Why don't they make the bus look more futuristic? Right now, it's just a regular 1970-style bus with no exhaust.
Haha ..too funny. The technology inside the buses are already the future! Without these components, buses designs mean very little.
It’s unfortunate BYD have not been able to bring in passenger EVs cars and SUVs into the US.
We know why!!
Only happen in California!
American craftsmanship + Chinese entrepreneurship. Why would this not be as good as (or better than) Chinese craftsmanship + American entrepreneuship? Tell me.
If everything is made in the U.S., what’s in it for BYD to set up an EV shop in California from scratch, an exit strategy?
Just like every other company - to establish a foothold in an important market.
Data
U high
The profits go back to China. The same is true of US manufactures selling goods in China. If they make a profit, the share of the company owned by a US corporation goes back to the US.
They should employ some ex-convicts to give them a second and last chance. Mahindra and Mahindra does that.
♥️♥️♥️🕊️🤝🕊️♥️♥️♥️ 👍👏👏👏
No battery from China.
why not make cars?
The exploding car manufacturer
I loved American labor laws. I'm not sure if China has labor laws or if they have different ones. But I heard in China it's 996, which means employees work from 9 am to 9pm and 6 days per week. That is too brutal!! How do you have time for family and recreations? Employees are humans and not mules who can work nonstop. Our families come first before the companies we work for. The whole point of working is so we have money to support our families. We don't have families to support the companies we work for. This is one of the few things I don't like about China. So when Chinese companies come to America, they have to follow American labor laws, which might be a challenge for them.
What makes you think they don't follow US labor laws? Also, the 996 is not the norm in China.
996 only applies to some hi-tech companies in Shenzhen, China
Thanks for clarifying!@@louishui1176
Cringes name ever “build your dreams”…
I’m so confused…most Americans don’t like Chinese so why they let China open manufacturing here in USA 😂😂😂
Only pariah American politicians don't like Chinese. Not the business men
because they don't have choices, electric public transportation rely on China.
The thugs in DC will do anything to brainwash American to believe anything!
the reporter/director is clueless about cars/buses, and manufacturing in general. asked zero insightful question about EV vs diesel, the charging, range, fire safety issues, etc. and interviewed zero local worker. a squandered opportunity. i learned very little from the 20 mins video. please assign better reporter for the task, and not do "parachute journalism"
I kind of agreed with your comment. The whole interview is dry and uninteresting doing deservice to BYD. Emphasing repeatedly hiring of hundreds of local people appeared to be too intentional. Should also show the bus' impact to operational bottomlines to local bus companies and convenience/comfort to the riding public, not to mention its great positive impact to the environment.
Every US companies owned by chinese narrow eye investors
You just being racist!
Looks like this round eyes are jealous!!!
As long as they are not made in China. All of BYD electric cars randomly catch fire all the time in China. In China there are no quality controls or standards. If these buses are being built in the U.S. there will be high standards that BYD is forced to meet. Regardless, the U.S. should throw BYD out and just make copies of these buses. That's exactly what China has done to a lot of U.S. companies. BYD was caught stealing Tesla tech a few years back. They stole their self driving tech and were caught.
u r so "smart"! ha......................................................................
When you get your world view from captain apartheid you end up a misinformed simpleton.
What you said is totally not true. Shame to you that lie like this because you hate china.
Source: just trust me bro
Just look it up. You can find videos of BYD electric cars catching fire randomly. Some while just parked. It's not news that China makes poor quality products... Even their buildings and bridges randomly collapse all the time. You can find videos on youtube of people breaking off chunks of cement from buildings and bridges with their hands. I don't even know why I'm explaining myself. I thought this was common knowledge...@@IbrahimNgeno
Steven Gao speaks very well and good english . Should be in BYD PR Department . At end of show , when ask what he personally learned working in California , I almost thought his answer would be , 'we at plant compare our .357 's and ammo a lot ! '😄🧐🤓😎🥸
