Continental keeps Golf drivers safe with soundA number of German suppliers contribute key parts to the new Volks-wagen Golf. The car features a new Crash Impact Sound Sensing sys-tem from Continental. The system recognizes the sound of an impactand analyzes the data to determine if the airbags should be activated
and whether a one- or two-stage deployment is required. ZF Lenksys-teme provides the Golfs electric power steering and Rchling Automo-tive contributes the interior trim and door module carriers. Benecke-Kaliko provides artificial leather and expanded and soft foils for the pas-
senger compartment while Robert Boschs Blaupunkt unit and Conti-nental contribute to the cars infotainment features.

sia and countries inAfrica, the Middle Eastand South America. Weexported about 7,000cars last year, mainly theF3 compact sedan. Weexpect this years exportvolume to increase by 50percent to 70 percentyear-on-year.
Whats BYD Autos overall strategy foroversea markets?
We plan to sell conventional gasolinecars to developing countries andnew energy [plug-in hybrids and fullelectric] cars to the developed mar-
kets such as the US andEurope. We hope over-seas sales could makeup more than 50 per-cent of our annualsales, but we may need10 years to realize thistarget.
Whats your plan for Europe?Like our schedule for the US, we planto launch sales in Europe in 2010 or2011. We may choose some countries
such as Denmark and Portugal forpilot sales programs. We have signeda contract with the Hipogest Groupin Portugal to distribute our cars. Bythe way, we may launch sales in Is-rael in 2009.
How is BYD Autos r&d ability?We have about 4,000 automobile en-gineers, and the engineers from someother r&d departments of our parentcompany will also participate in thedevelopment of new cars. ANE
