Innovating the Future: The Eco Archer Team’s Groundbreaking Zeta vehicle
In addition to showcasing BYD’s EVs, the Tech Tour gave DLSU's Eco Archers Team a chance to present their latest project: the Zeta Urban Concept. Now in its 9th version, this was the vehicle’s first public appearance since competing in the Shell Eco-Marathon in Indonesia in July 2024.
“BYD is proud to be part of the movement toward a sustainable future, and through our campus tech tours, we aim to inspire the next generation to make a positive environmental impact. These events empower young minds to embrace green technology and lead the way toward a cleaner, brighter future,” says Aiffy Liu, Country Head of BYD Philippines.
