BYD reaches production of 13 million electrified vehicles

BYD, the world’s leading new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, has officially become the first car manufacturer globally to reach the production milestone of 13 million electrified vehicles (EVs + PHEVs).

The historic vehicle – a YANGWANG U7 – rolled off the production line on 21 July.

In the first half of 2025, BYD sold a total of 2,145,954 new energy passenger vehicles globally, further cementing its position as the world’s top-selling NEV brand. Of these, 470,086 passenger vehicles and pick-up trucks were sold in overseas markets, with year-on-year growth of 128.5% demonstrating BYD’s growing international footprint.

The model that rolled off the production line to create the 13 millionth NEV milestone, the YANGWANG U7, is now being delivered to customers across China.

Founded in 1995, BYD (Build Your Dreams) is the only NEV producer to have developed its own power systems, power batteries, automotive semiconductors, motors and motor controller systems.
