La startup de coches el\u00e9ctricos Byton que comenz\u00f3 con tanta promesa parece estar al borde del colapso. Seg\u00fan la compa\u00f1\u00eda, cesar\u00e1 sus operaciones durante medio a\u00f1o a partir del 1 de julio - si continuar\u00e1 despu\u00e9s de eso est\u00e1 abierto.<\/p>\n
Tras anunciarse en abril que Byton hab\u00eda empleados suspendidos en su sede de EE.UU.<\/a> en Santa Clara, California, cerca de la mitad de los empleados que trabajaban all\u00ed fueron enviados a casa debido a los efectos de la pandemia. Ahora, un portavoz ha confirmado que la empresa cesar\u00e1 sus operaciones durante otros seis meses el 1 de julio.<\/p>\n Una reaparici\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de este semestre parece bastante improbable: Byton ha despedido ya a casi todos sus empleados en todo el mundo, como declar\u00f3 su portavoz Dave Buchko al sitio web especializado estadounidense La Oficina de Detroit<\/em> el lunes por la tarde. \"El consejo de administraci\u00f3n y la alta direcci\u00f3n est\u00e1n buscando la manera de sacar adelante la empresa\".<\/p>\n Byton estaba considerada como una de las startups m\u00e1s prometedoras de la industria del coche el\u00e9ctrico. Fundada en 2017, la empresa se consider\u00f3 durante mucho tiempo s\u00f3lidamente financiada y gestionada. Mientras que otras empresas con un concepto y un objetivo similares, como Faraday Future, desaparecieron r\u00e1pidamente de la escena, se dec\u00eda que Byton era capaz de dar realmente el paso a la producci\u00f3n en serie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La startup de coches el\u00e9ctricos Byton que comenz\u00f3 con tanta promesa parece estar al borde del colapso.

In addition to the investment, a strategic partnership was also agreed. Also at the CES, Byton CEO Daniel Kirchert announced that 60,000 pre-orders for the M-Byte had been placed. The electric SUV was to be launched in China this year, followed by North America and Europe in 2021. Pre-orders for the M-Byte<\/a> were to be made possible from the second half of the year.<\/p>\n For a long time, everything seemed to be on the right track, with pre-series production starting in Nanjing in October. But starting production and establishing the supply chain also ties up a lot of capital \u2013 and such a drastic event as the Corona crisis was not foreseeable. All of a sudden, money was no longer sitting so loosely with both potential customers and investors. “Without a revenue stream, we just hit the wall,” says the spokesperson.<\/p>\n In addition to the e-drive, connectivity and the 48-inch widescreen display were considered to be the outstanding features of the Byton M-Byte. With the K-Byte, an electric limousine, the second model was already in the starting blocks.<\/p>\n At present, it is unclear how Byton will proceed. According to Sam Abuelsamid, Principal Auto Analyst at Navigant Research, it is possible that a large Chinese company will buy into Byton and start production in China after all. After all, unlike other electric car startups, Byton has an almost fully functional factory. But he added, “I wouldn\u2019t bet money on it.”<\/p>\n thedetroitbureau.com<\/a>, insideevs.com<\/a><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
