BYD also took off the production line of its 8 million new energy vehicles after a BYD dolphin pulled off the production line at BYD’s Royong factory in Thailand on July 4.
It took 13 years for BYD to go from the first to the millionth, while with the rapid growth of the auto industry, it only took BYD two years and three months to move from the millionth to the fifth millionth, and only 11 months from 5 million to 8 million.
, ● from the first to the 8th million, “every five new energy vehicles sold in the world, there is one BYD”.
BYD’s hot sales at home and abroad have witnessed the rapid development of China’s new energy vehicle industry.
The reason why the 8 million units were put off the line at the Thai factory is not achieved overnight, but the result of long-term practice and persistence.
In 2008, BYD’s first new energy car, the F3DM, was officially sold at a price of about 150000 yuan.
Subsequently, BYD DM and Pure Electric went hand in hand.
In addition to the continuous iteration of DM, the early e6 of pure electric models was active in the taxi market, while Qin EV also ran through the streets of many cities.
In 2014, BYD’s 100th new energy vehicle went offline, from 1 to 100000, for six years.
In 2018, the 500,000 new energy vehicle went offline, and it took BYD four years from 100000 to 500000.
On May 19, 2021, BYD’s millionth new energy vehicle, a BYD EV, was used by Mr.
he Youjun for three years from 500000 to 1 million.
, 
, “May 2021, the millionth new energy vehicle goes off the line”, , “August 2023, the 5th millionth new energy vehicle goes off the line”, and then BYD is just like hanging up: in May 2022, the millionth new energy vehicle, Qin PLUS DM-i, was officially offline for one year.
In November 2022, the 3 millionth new energy vehicle, the Seal EV, went offline in six months.
In August, 2023, the 5 millionth new energy vehicle, the Tengli N7, went offline, and 2 million vehicles took nine months.
In November 2023, the 6 millionth new energy vehicle, equation Leopard 5, went offline in three months.
In March 2024, the 7 millionth new energy vehicle, the new momentum N7, went off the line.
In July 2024, the eighth millionth new energy vehicle went offline-the dolphin went offline at a factory in Thailand in a little more than three months.
In a little more than three years since the 1 millionth new energy vehicle went offline in May 2021, BYD has reached a new height of 8 million vehicles and outpaced the new speed of Chinese brands.
, some people may say that BYD has caught up with the good times.
But I think the new energy era, in fact, is fair to every car company.
After nearly a decade of technological precipitation, BYD has become the only car company in the world that can master the core technologies of the new energy industry chain, such as batteries, motors, electronic controls and automotive specification semiconductors, whether it is IGBT, blade battery, e-platform 3.
0 or the fifth generation DM technology.
Or DiLink 5.
0 is the result of continuous iteration and accumulation of BYD.
This sublimation from quantitative change to qualitative change is the key factor for BYD to maintain its competitive advantage and develop steadily these years.
After 16 years of wind and rain since 2008, BYD has finally grown into the first new energy sales in the world on the new energy track.
● Thailand market and BYD sail out to sea, 
, while reaching 1 million vehicles in China, three years ago, May 2021, BYD officially announced the plan of “passenger cars going to sea”.
Today, BYD’s footprint of new energy vehicles has spread over more than 400 cities in 88 countries and regions, and has continuously won the monthly sales champion of new energy vehicles in many countries.
, , , “models produced by Thai factories”, the Thai market for new energy vehicles has been growing rapidly in recent years.
According to Thailand’s “3030 Policy”, that is, the output of electric vehicles will reach 30% of total car production in 2030, under the guidance of this goal, the government has successively issued support policies for electric vehicles.
The broad market space and good policy environment make Thailand a must-compete place for the major automobile manufacturers in the world.
According to the data for the whole of 2023, the cumulative sales of pure electric vehicles in Thailand exceeded 76300, an increase of 66600 over 2022, or 684%, of which pure electric vehicles accounted for 12% of the total.
In October 2022, BYD launched its first electric car ATTO 3 for the Thai market, which went on sale in November of the same year.
By the end of February 2023, 3000 ATTO 3 vehicles had been registered in Thailand, accounting for nearly 10 per cent of all pure electric vehicle registrations in Thailand.
, according to sales data in 2023, Chinese brands account for about 80 per cent of the top 10 best-selling electric vehicles in Thailand.
Specifically, BYD Atto3 (Yuan plus) topped the list with annual sales of 19200 vehicles, with a market share of more than 25%.
Nezha V and BYD dolphins ranked second and third respectively, with sales of about 12800 and 9410 respectively.
BYD seals are also on the top 10 list.
On September 8, 2022, BYD Automobile Thailand Co., Ltd. signed a contract with WHA Weihua Group Volkswagen Co., Ltd. to formally sign an agreement on land subscription and factory construction.
On March 10, 2023, BYD’s Royongfu factory in Thailand officially laid the groundwork.
The base is BYD’s first overseas passenger car production base, located in the Weihua Industrial Park in Luoyongfu.
It covers an area of nearly 600lai (about 1600 square meters) and has been put into production since 2024.
The annual production capacity is about 150000 vehicles, bringing 10, 000 local jobs.
The rush to build a factory in Thailand is inextricably linked with local policy support.
In terms of channels, BYD opened its 108th store in Thailand and the 300th store in the Asia-Pacific region on June 26, 2024, and plans to open more than 150 stores in Thailand in 2024, covering 77 provinces in Thailand.
With the exception of Thailand, BYD announced its official entry into the European passenger car market during the Paris Motor Show in October 2022 after landing in Norway in 2021.
It is reported that BYD has launched a total of five models in Europe and has entered 19 European countries and regions, including the top five countries in the European auto market, namely, Germany, Britain, Spain, Italy and France, with more than 140 stores and overseas layouts everywhere.
● conclusion: from the first to the eighth million, from No.
1 in China to No.
1 in the world, BYD is also reshaping the new eraCar pattern.
BYD’s new energy development history is actually the development history of China’s new energy.
Looking back at BYD’s new cars rolled off the production line in recent years, the 1 millionth Han, the 2 millionth Qin PLUS DM-i, the 3 millionth Seal EV, the 5 millionth Tengshi N7, the 6 millionth Formula Leopard 5, the 7 millionth new Tengshi N7, and the 8 millionth Dolphin, each represents BYD’s development results at different stages.
Looking to the future, BYD from a world is also bringing my country’s new energy products to the world with a positive image.
Throughout 2023, BYD’s new energy vehicle exports exceeded 240,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 334%.
Currently, BYD’s commercial vehicles and passenger cars have been exported to more than 400 cities in more than 70 countries and regions around the world.
Although passenger cars have not been out to sea for a long time, it can be seen that ATTO 3 is already a champion in the single-product category in places such as Colombia, Singapore, Brazil, and Thailand.
With the gradual laying of channels and the continuous production of overseas factories, the market prospects are still very impressive.
, 8 million vehicles have arrived.
At the current global speed, its milestone of 10 million vehicles will not be far away.
It is expected to be achieved early next year.
We also look forward to the next historical moment.
