One of the youngest company to step in the world of Automobile Industry had proved its presence and is emerging as one of the fastest-growing company focusing on E-mobility. Byton is a Chinese all-electric vehicle automotive brand established in 2017 incorporated in Hong-Kong. With its first-ever M-Byte SUV, the company has scheduled the production either during late 2019 or early 2020. The company is all set to launch M-Byte first in China following the U.S. and then heading towards European markets in the second half of 2020.
