The company’s general manager of branding and public relations, Li Yunfei, said, “International deliveries will make a greater contribution in the years to come,” noting that BYD’s own fleet of car-carrier vessels has helped boost exports.

In 2024, overseas sales represented less than 10% of BYD’s total 4.26 million deliveries, the South China Morning Post added.
