Use of toxic chemical prompts Hino Motors to cancel sales of BYD’s e-bus in Japan

It's logical to question if Tesla's rival BYD used similar toxic chemicals on the EV.

On another report, BYD received complaint that it's PHEV didn't meet emissions standard.

Quote:

BYD’s plan to supply a small electric bus (Poncho Z EV) to Hino Motors, a Toyota unit, has been cancelled after it was revealed that the bus was built using a toxic chemical that is banned under Japanese industry guidelines, according to an article by Nikkei Asia.

“EV buses for the Japanese market meet all required laws and standards,” BYD’s Japan unit told Nikkei. When asked about the use of hexavalent chromium, the company declined to comment, says the media. Reuters add that “Hino declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. A BYD Japan spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.”.
