Claim of suitability for Nepali roads
Maharjan claimed that Atto 1 is particularly suitable for Nepali roads. He stated that due to its small size, short wheelbase, and 175mm ground clearance, it will be comfortable even on normal gravel and some off-road tracks.
Maharjan mentioned that customer interest in electric vehicles is growing in Nepal. He stated that customers prefer them because the operating cost of electric vehicles is lower compared to those with internal combustion engines (ICE).

BYD has announced various facilities for customers on the occasion of the expo. According to the company, customers will receive one year of road tax, auto-plus insurance, free accessories, and one year of BYD app service.
