GENEVA (AFP) \u2013 Chinese auto maker BYD (Build Your Dreams) and German giant Daimler have signed a preliminary agreement to build anelectric car<\/span> together, company executives said at the Geneva motor show on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Under the memorandum of understanding, the world’s oldest automaker and one of the youngest aim to market the vehicle under a new jointly owned brand, merging their technological knowhow forChina<\/span>‘s fast expanding urban market.<\/p>\n

“Under the agreement Daimler<\/span> and BYD intend to develop a newelectric vehicle<\/span> specially for the requirements of the Chinese market,” said BYD general manager Henry Li in Geneva, calling it a milestone for the fledgling company.<\/p>\n

“This is a cooperation between the most senior automaker and the youngest … between the country with the best auto industry and the country with the biggest auto market,” he told journalists.<\/p>\n

Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche<\/span> said the company was taking a foothold in the potential growth of the electric vehicles<\/span> in China and its huge cities, now the world’s biggest and fast growing car market.<\/p>\n

“Daimler’s knowhow in electric vehicle architecture and BYD’s excellence in battery technology and e-drive systems are a perfect match,” Zetsche said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Launched just seven years ago, BYD Auto now claims to be the sixth biggest car maker in China and its future plans are focused on electric or hybrid vehicles<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Chinese firm unveiled its E6 people carrier in Europe for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show<\/span>, which opened its doors to industry watchers on Tuesday ahead of the public opening on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It aims to sell the car in Europe in 2011.<\/p>\n

Daimler, which made one of the first cars in the world in the 19th century, is the parent company of brands Mercedes and Smart.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
