BYD Automotive

BYD, which stands for Build Your Dreams, is a leading global manufacturer of new energy vehicles including electric cars, buses, and trucks. Founded in 1995 as a battery manufacturer, the company transitioned into the automotive industry in the early 2000s and has since become one of the world's largest electric vehicle producers.

Today, BYD operates as a massive conglomerate with its own supply chain, manufacturing almost all components of its vehicles in-house, including the advanced Blade Battery technology. While the majority of its manufacturing hubs are located across mainland China, the company is rapidly expanding its global footprint with new factories in regions such as Southeast Asia, South America, and Europe to serve international markets.

The brand remains under the ownership of BYD Company Limited, headquartered in Shenzhen, China. It is a publicly traded company with significant backing from global investors, including Berkshire Hathaway in the past, and continues to be a dominant force in the transition toward sustainable mobility worldwide.
