Which Country Produces BYD?

BYD cars are made in China. Here are specific details about BYD: Historical Background: BYD is a Chinese automotive brand established in 1995, primarily producing commercial and family cars as well as batteries. Starting with a team of just over 20 people, BYD grew to become the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer by 2003. In the same year, BYD Auto was established. Following a development strategy of independent R&D, production, and branding, BYD Auto is committed to creating affordable and high-quality vehicles for the public. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while adhering to Chinese cultural aesthetics. Current Models: BYD's main models currently on sale include the BYD F0, BYD F3, BYD S7, BYD Tang, BYD Song, BYD Qin, and BYD Han, among others.
BYD is a Chinese automobile brand headquartered in Shenzhen. I've driven the BYD Han, and the interior quality of that car is truly impressive. Just sitting inside, you can feel the level of Chinese manufacturing. Currently, BYD factories are not only flourishing across China but have also expanded to places like Thailand and Brazil. When I visited their Shenzhen factory last year, I saw production lines bustling with robotic arms, with workers simply monitoring computer screens. Their engineers mentioned that a new car rolls off the line every 90 seconds, an efficiency that makes many foreign brands envious. Especially the blade battery production line, which is entirely self-developed technology, even Tesla comes to purchase. When it comes to the rise of domestic cars, BYD is definitely a benchmark.
As someone studying the automotive industry, I find BYD's global expansion quite fascinating. Though a Chinese brand at its core, its production lines have long gone international. Beyond domestic bases in Shenzhen, Xi'an, and Changsha, its Hungary factory now supplies Europe, the Thailand plant serves Southeast Asia, and even Brazil has a new EV factory. What amazed me most is their vertical integration capability - from batteries, motors to chips, all developed in-house, even tire molds are self-researched. At last year's Munich Motor Show, BYD's booth was surrounded by foreign visitors, with German media admitting Chinese EV technology has achieved overtaking on curves. Particularly noteworthy is the Seal model selling at higher prices in Europe than domestically, directly competing with German luxury brands.
Last time I took a ride-hailing car and got a BYD Qin. I only learned from chatting with the driver that this car is produced in Shenzhen. The driver said their fleet has all switched to BYD electric vehicles, which can run 400 kilometers on a full charge with only 30 yuan in electricity costs. I looked up information and found that BYD has nine major production bases in China, with the Xi'an factory alone capable of producing a million vehicles a year. Now even UK double-decker buses and Japanese electric forklifts use BYD batteries. Interestingly, they also have an electric bus factory in California, manufacturing buses for Americans. When it comes to the export of domestic cars, BYD has gone further than Chery and Geely, with sales in the Thai market this year even surpassing Toyota.
