On July 4th, BYD held a ceremony for the completion of its Thai factory and the production of its 8th million new energy vehicles in Rayong, Thailand. Guests including Thai Minister of Industry Pympala Wichaikun, Chinese Ambassador to Thailand Han Zhiqiang, Secretary General of the Thailand Investment Promotion Commission Nali Tesatilasha, and BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu attended the ceremony. The BYD Thailand factory took only 16 months from construction to production, with an annual production capacity of approximately 150000 vehicles, including the four major vehicle manufacturing processes and component factories. At the same time, BYD has also become the world's first car company to achieve its 8th million new energy vehicle production line, and Dolphin has made its debut as a production line model in a factory in Thailand. The Minister of Industry of Thailand, Pympara Wichaikun, delivered a speech and expressed high appreciation for BYD's outstanding contributions in the field of new energy vehicles. BYD is a top global automobile manufacturer and a leading enterprise in China's new energy vehicle industry. By investing in Thailand and bringing advanced production technology cars, it will promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry in Thailand and even ASEAN. Chinese Ambassador to Thailand Han Zhiqiang delivered a speech, stating that China and Thailand are good neighbors connected by mountains and rivers, and good partners with a shared destiny. As an outstanding representative of the global new energy vehicle industry, BYD's Thailand factory has been officially completed and welcomed the production of its 8th million new energy vehicles. This is not only a milestone for BYD, but also another new milestone in the mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Thailand in new energy vehicles. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd., delivered a speech. On site, Wang Chuanfu expressed gratitude to the governments of China and Thailand, as well as to Thai users and partners for their strong support. He said that BYD quickly gained recognition in the Thai market after only two years of layout, and has been the best-selling pure electric vehicle in Thailand for a total of 18 months. Now, for every three pure electric vehicles sold in Thailand, one is BYD. In the future, BYD will launch more pure electric models in Thailand and introduce plug-in hybrid models, combining Thailand's first-class automotive manufacturing capabilities with BYD's leading new energy technology to help transform and upgrade the Thai automotive industry chain. In recent years, BYD has vigorously expanded its overseas markets. In 2023, BYD's passenger car export sales reached 243000 units, a year-on-year increase of 337%. In the first half of this year, BYD's sales of new energy passenger vehicles reached 1.607 million units, a year-on-year increase of 28.8%. Among them, overseas sales exceeded 203000 units, a year-on-year increase of 173.8%, maintaining a strong growth momentum.
