On the 20th anniversary of its first car launch, BYD celebrates a historic achievement that has positioned it at the forefront of the global automotive industry as a fierce competitor to the giants of the automotive industry, not only in China, but also in Europe, Latin America, and Africa.
From Batteries to Championships: An Amazing Transformation Story
BYD was initially a startup specializing in lithium batteries, but it embarked on an early path of innovation, quickly transforming into a fully fledged electric vehicle manufacturer. Today, the company is leading the clean car revolution with impressive models like the BYD Seal and BYD Tang EV, which combine high performance, modern design, and competitive pricing.
An Offensive Strategy Conquers Europe
By 2025, BYD has successfully established a strong foothold in Europe. After opening its European design center in Munich, the company announced strategic partnerships with distributors in Germany, France, and Norway, enabling it to open more than 400 showrooms in just 18 months.
In a bold move, BYD inaugurated a new factory in Hungary with an annual production capacity of 150,000 units, making it the first Chinese automaker to produce electric vehicles in Europe.
The numbers speak for themselves: Growth beyond expectations
In the first quarter of 2025, BYD recorded a 285% increase in sales outside China, with global sales exceeding 500,000 fully electric vehicles. According to the company’s forecasts, it is on track to rank second globally in electric vehicle sales by the end of the year.
Technology for Sustainability
BYD relies on its revolutionary Blade Battery technology, which combines high safety with excellent energy density, with a lifespan exceeding 1.2 million kilometers. Thanks to the e-Platform 3.0, BYD vehicles are smarter, more responsive, and more efficient, giving them a significant competitive advantage.
Youth and Innovation at the Heart of Its Vision
At the « Smart Cities and Electric Future » forum organized by the company in Barcelona, BYD emphasized its vision of making cars part of a more sustainable and connected lifestyle. It also revealed plans to launch a smart app that allows users to monitor consumption, plan eco-friendly routes, and even share energy with their homes.
Ambition Has No Limits
By the end of 2025, BYD aims to launch six new models in Europe, including a luxury SUV specifically for the German market and a compact electric car costing less than €20,000, targeting the younger generation seeking affordable mobility solutions.
The company aims to expand its coverage to 25 European countries, with the goal of selling more than 1.5 million vehicles globally this year. This will strengthen its position as a key driver in changing the rules of the automotive industry as we know it.
BYD: Not Just a Name… a Future on Wheels
From China to the world, BYD is leading a new era of smart and sustainable mobility, leveraging the convergence of technology, design, and boundless ambition. With every car that rolls out of its factories, it proves that the electric future isn’t just coming… it’s already here, and it’s here in force.
