BYD Dolphin electric vehicle

The BYD Dolphin is an all-electric compact hatchback developed by the Chinese automotive giant BYD Auto. Launched as part of the 'Ocean Series' in 2021, it was the first model to feature the brand's 'Ocean Aesthetics' design language and is built on the advanced e-Platform 3.0. This vehicle has been a cornerstone in BYD's rapid global expansion, positioned as a high-technology yet affordable EV.

While the majority of manufacturing takes place in China (notably in Changsha and Shenzhen), BYD has aggressively expanded its industrial footprint. To meet growing demand and navigate international trade policies, the company has established or is completing production facilities in Brazil, Thailand, and Uzbekistan. This global manufacturing strategy supports its goal of becoming a top-tier global automaker.

BYD Auto is a subsidiary of BYD Company, which was founded in 1995 by Wang Chuanfu. The parent company is a leader in battery technology and renewable energy solutions. BYD is an independent, publicly traded entity with substantial investment from both private and institutional investors globally, headquartered in Shenzhen, China.
