BYD

From zero-gravity seats to a 26-inch AR display and 1,660 km of PHEV range, BYD launched all of it for under $30,000 in China.

China’s electric vehicle (EV) king BYD has leapfrogged once more over Tesla to become the world’s largest battery-powered car manufacturer, spurred by its surging overseas shipments, despite posting an 8.2 per cent year-on-year drop in deliveries. As BYD gained the upper hand in the race against the US carmaker, it is the latest signal that China’s prowess in EVs is increasingly recognised by consumers around the globe amid an energy crisis. Tesla said in a statement on Thursday that it had...

Tesla posted one of its strongest quarters yet, but BYD still managed to reclaim the global EV sales crown.

BYD Korea is expected to pivot its strategic focus toward plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to offset its exclusion from the government’s electric vehicle (EV) subsidy program. The Chinese EV maker recently rose to the fourth spot in the nation’s imported car sales, behind Tesla, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but the momentum has hit an unexpected snag, as its all-electric models became ineligible for subsidies starting Wednesday. However, the carmaker is widely forecast to counter the disadvantage by aggressively expanding its PHEV lineup, anchored by its strategically priced Sealion 6 PHEV. According to the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, BYD Korea failed to win the subsidy for its passenger car business here due to its weak profile in supply chain contribution, a category given greater weight under the government's revised evaluation criteria. Having entered Korea's passenger vehicle market only in January last year, the company scored poorly in that category. Under the

Hong Kong-listed shares of Chinese electric vehicle makers surged, after companies posted June vehicle data that helped to buoy investor sentiment.

BYD delivered 557,090 fully electric vehicles in the second quarter of 2026, according to figures compiled by Bloomberg, putting the Chinese automaker back on top of the global battery-electric race. Tesla is expected to report around 396,500 deliveries for the same quarter — a gap of more than 160,000 units in BYD’s favor.

A second worker died at the construction site of BYD's electric vehicle factory in Hungary, CNBC has learned.

Toyota and BYD are aggressively targeting Korea's niche plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) market, a move experts and industry officials view as a highly viable strategy to capture transitional demand and capitalize on Hyundai Motor Group’s absence in the sector. Local customers have not favored PHEVs due largely to their vague positioning between traditional hybrid cars and all-electric vehicles. PHEVs are also excluded from government subsidies here, making them compete at a distinct price disadvantage against typical electric vehicles (EVs). While a standard hybrid self-charges and relies primarily on a gasoline engine, PHEVs utilize a larger battery that requires external charging to deliver all-electric driving. According to data from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources, PHEVs accounted for just 0.7 percent of the Korean passenger vehicle market between January and May, with 4,739 PHEVs newly registered. This represents a 24.6 percent decline compared to the same

Nexen Tire said Monday it will supply original equipment tires to two BYD electric vehicles — the Seal 6 and the Dolphin Surf — marking the Korean tire maker's first original equipment deal with the Chinese automaker. The Seal 6, a high-performance strategic model BYD has developed for global markets, will be fitted with Nexen's N'FERA Sport, a summer performance tire.

The N'Blue S was developed to meet tightened European carbon emission regulations, with reduced rolling resistance and improved wet-road braking performance. It has been adopted as original equipment for a range of European vehicles and electric models. Nexen Tire,
