BYD uses a solvent containing hexavalent chromium to prevent rusting of bolts, nuts and other parts on its five electric buses, including the J6, a minibus sold in Japan. BYD Japan said it is working with BYD headquarters to investigate whether hexavalent chromium was used in the pure electric passenger vehicles that went on sale in Japan at the end of January.
Hexavalent chromium is a chemical substance that is widely used in automotive parts for applications such as electroplating to prevent rusting of metal surfaces. It is considered to be highly toxic and harmful to humans. Although there is no domestic law prohibiting the use of chromium in automobiles, Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association has prohibited its use since 2008 as an industry-independent restriction. After the same year, hexavalent chromium is no longer used on new cars in general.
In order to provide greater safety and peace of mind for passengers, BYD Japan said the use of hexavalent chromium will be discontinued on the new models of J6 and K8 electric buses which will be launched by the end of 2023.
