Data show that Tengli Automobile was established in 2010 and is a new energy vehicle brand jointly created by BYD and Daimler. Shenzhen Teng Teng New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. was established in February 2011, with BYD and Daimler each holding 50%. The establishment of Teng Teng Automobile is highly expected. Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, once said: "as the child of Daimler and BYD, momentum is a brand born on the shoulders of giants." However, the sales performance of the momentum since its inception has not been satisfactory.

The data show that from 2015 to 2020, the sales of Tengli cars were 2800 2287, 4713, 1974, 2089 and 4175 respectively. The equity of Tengli changed in 2021, with Daimler and BYD holding 10% and 90% of Tengli respectively. This also means that the strategic development of Teng Teng is mainly led by BYD and supported by Mercedes-Benz. According to the plan, BYD will be responsible for the strategic planning of the brand, including technology research and development, product planning, etc.; the brand will have three independent attributes, including an independent brand, operated by an independent team, and an independent product matrix and design language.

The new car is located in a large MPV, which offers two power versions: DM-i super hybrid and pure electric EV, with a price range of 329800 yuan to 459800 yuan. According to Teng Teng Auto official news, the Teng Teng D9 received more than 3000 orders in 30 minutes of pre-sale. As for the future development direction of Tengli, BYD has said: the strategic development of Teng will be led by BYD, supported by Mercedes-Benz, and will unswervingly take the luxury route in the future. However, whether the high-end trend can reverse the decline in sales, the auto industry is concerned that it ultimately depends on the product.
