TAILG is, like BYD, based in Shenzhen and one the largest two-wheeler manufacturers in China. It has a production capacity of 15 million units, selling in more than 90 countries and regions in 30,000 stores, its website claims. The company recently opened overseas R&D centers in Vietnam and Indonesia. Their main products are electric motorcycles, bikes, tricycles, and scooters.

BYD is the second largest battery maker in China after CATL. In October, it installed 15.82 GWh of batteries into EVs, with 26.7% market share, according to data monitored by China EV DataTracker.
