BYD Delivers 90,000 vehicles to Thailand in three years
BYD announced that it has delivered a cumulative total of 90,000 vehicles to the Thai passenger car market since entering it three years ago. Last year, BYD began producing EVs at its Thai plant. BYD is preparing to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHVs) to further expand its market share.
BYD reported that 6,100 of the factory’s 6,900 employees are Thai nationals. BYD also announced that it will produce plug-in hybrid electric (PHV) sedans at the Thai factory. This will be the first time BYD has produced PHVs in Thailand. The factory has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles. Expanding the range of models produced will increase consumer choice and the factory’s operating rate.
BYD entered the Thai passenger vehicle market in 2022 by exporting the EV SUV “ATTO3” from China. BYD is focusing on establishing local factories to expand into overseas markets. The Thai factory began operations in July 2024 and is positioned as BYD’s first full-scale passenger vehicle factory overseas.
