BYD Sells 377,000 Cars in June and Boosts Exports by 233%

BYD sold 377,628 passenger vehicles in June 2025, nearly matching the performance in May and marking an 11% year-over-year increase. According to CarNewsChina, it was the company’s highest monthly sales volume so far this year.

Of the total units sold, 206,884 (54.8%) were battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and 170,744 (45.2%) were plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). BEV sales surged 42.5% compared to June 2024, while PHEVs declined 12.5%. It was the third consecutive month that BEVs accounted for more than half of BYD’s sales and the second straight month that exceeded 200,000 BEV units.

Exports reached 90,049 units, a 233.6% increase over June 2024. The export volume includes vehicles from BYD’s main lineup and sub-brands Denza (premium), FCB (SUVs), and Yangwang (luxury models).

2.1 Million Vehicles Sold in First Half of 2025
From January to June, BYD sold 2,113,271 passenger vehicles, a 31.5% increase over the same period in 2024. The company aims to deliver approximately 5.5 million vehicles in 2025, compared to 4.27 million in 2024.

In the commercial vehicle segment (e.g., buses), BYD saw a remarkable 459% increase, rising from 5,838 to 32,683 units in the first half. Including all segments, BYD sold 382,585 vehicles in June.
Since April 2022, the company has ceased production of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to focus exclusively on BEVs and PHEVs.

Export Capacity Expands with BYD’s Own Shipping Fleet
To support growing exports, BYD continues to expand its fleet of car carriers. The seventh ship, BYD Zhengzhou, has recently begun sea trials, while the sixth vessel, BYD Xi’an, has completed its maiden voyage, delivering approximately 7,000 vehicles to the UK, Italy, Spain, and Belgium.

Brazil Receives Extra Shipment Ahead of Import Tax Hike
In Brazil, BYD imported an extra batch of about 7,000 vehicles ahead of a new stage in the country’s import tax increase on electrified vehicles, which took effect on July 1. The revised federal schedule, launched in late 2023, raises tariffs as follows:

BEVs: 25% → 30%
PHEVs: 20% → 28%
HEVs: 18% → 25%

By July 2026, all electrified vehicles will be subject to a 35% import tax. BYD’s goal is to maintain stable prices in the short term until local production begins.

Dolphin Mini to Be First Locally Assembled Model
The Dolphin Mini, currently Brazil’s best-selling electric car, priced from R$ 122,800, will be the first model assembled in the country, followed by the Song Pro hybrid SUV. Both will initially be built using SKD (semi-knocked-down) kits, allowing cost reductions as the local manufacturing operation scales up.

Located in Bahia at the former Ford plant, the BYD complex will be BYD’s largest passenger vehicle facility outside Asia, with an initial capacity of 150,000 units per year, expandable to 300,000 in a second phase. The site will also host facilities for electric bus chassis and lithium/iron-phosphate processing, with projections of 20,000 direct and indirect jobs for the entire operation.
