BYD recently released its latest production and sales report. As per the data, BYD sold a total of 217,816 vehicles in October globally. This figure includes 2,17,518 passenger vehicles. With these figures, BYD posted a growth of 144.7 per cent over the same period last year. As of October 2022, BYD’s cumulative global sales have now exceeded 2.9 million units.
Being one of the world’s leading new energy vehicle manufacturers, BYD has always stuck to the two new energy routes of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in parallel. The 217,518 passenger vehicles include 114,361 DM models and 103,157 EV models for the October figures.
Recently, BYD announced the launch of Atto 3 for the Indian market. The brand is claiming it as the ‘First Sporty Born E-SUV’. BYD is preparing itself to meet the diverse needs of Indian consumers. For the month of October, 27,548 units of BYD-ATTO 3 were sold. Interestingly the global sales for BYD- ATTO 3 have exceeded 400,000 units. This speaks volumes of the love Atto 3 is getting in the overseas market.
The entry of automaker BYD, which stands for ‘build your dreams’, in the mass market in India could be a detrimental moment in the country’s nascent electric vehicle journey. BYD overtook Tesla to become the largest EV maker in the world in the third quarter this year, but there is a catch. A significant number of its vehicles are hybrids that count as EVs, unlike the American carmaker, which only makes pure battery electric vehicles.
Yet the entry of BYD means a lot for the Indian market. With the demand running high for EVs across the country. BYD will aim to make the most out of it and attract more customers to its showrooms. The company is already a pretty established EV maker in the global market. And hence, with all the experience and global expertise, BYD has big plans for the Indian market.
