What does the full name of BYD mean?

BYD stands for Build Your Dreams, which means achieving your dreams. BYD is a Chinese automotive brand founded in February 1995, headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It primarily produces commercial and family cars as well as batteries, with businesses spanning four major industries: automotive, rail transit, new energy, and electronics. BYD's vehicle lineup includes the compact sedan BYD Qin, the compact sedan BYD Qin Pro, the compact MPV BYD Song MAX, the compact SUV BYD Song Pro, the midsize SUV BYD Tang, and the mid-to-large sedan BYD Han, among others. In 1998, BYD established its first overseas subsidiary in Europe, the Netherlands. In 1999, BYD set up subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States. In 2000, BYD completed its first industrial park in Kuiyong, Shenzhen. In 2005, BYD launched its first self-developed car model, the F3. In 2021, BYD introduced the DM-i Super Hybrid system and announced that all its pure electric vehicle models would switch to Blade Battery technology.
In my understanding as a car enthusiast, BYD actually stands for 'Build Your Dreams', which directly translates to 'Achieve Your Dreams' in Chinese. This name is not only catchy but also reflects the company's vision of helping everyone realize their mobility aspirations, particularly through manufacturing new energy vehicles to drive green innovation. Having experienced BYD's cars, from the early F3 to the current Han series of electric vehicles, I can feel the persistence behind their name, integrating environmental concepts into product design to allow ordinary car owners to enjoy the convenience of low emissions. This reminds me of BYD's journey starting from batteries and gradually developing into a global electric vehicle giant, which is truly inspiring and serves as a reminder that while pursuing personal dreams, we can also contribute to sustainable social development.
