I recently covered BYD’s passenger vehicle sales, with its BEV sales up 33% year over year in September. That was nice, solid growth. However, looking at the company’s commercial vehicle sales now, things look even much better. As usual, BYD breaks these out by bus sales and non-bus commercial vehicle … [continued]
Following up on our report on BYD’s passenger vehicle sales trends, let’s have a look at what’s happening with its commercial vehicle sales.

BYD’s passenger vehicle sales may be in a transitionary moment, going from year-over-year drops in the beginning of the year to a big sales rise in the second half of the year. In May, they were basically flat year over year. However, on the commercial vehicle side of the business, … [continued]

Compared to December, naturally, sales were down last month (in general, December is a much bigger sales month than January), but they weren’t even down much month over month. Meanwhile, … [continued]

In the commercial vehicle sector, there’s a little bit of an up-and-down matter in one segment, but the overall trend is very positive. Let’s start with the buses, which … [continued]
As reported in recent days, BYD’s passenger cars didn’t have their best sales results in September or the 3rd quarter overall. The company’s plug-in hybrid electric cars dropped off considerably.
