Chinese carmaker BYD recently made waves by announcing its new Denza Z, a jaw-dropping electric coupe that looks like a supercar

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -China's BYD became the most popular vehicle brand in Singapore so far this year, outselling Toyota for the first time, government data showed, as the fast-growing electric vehicle maker steps up efforts to boost overseas sales. In the first four months of 2025, BYD sold 3,002 cars, or 20% of total vehicle sales in Singapore. Toyota and BYD's main EV rival Tesla sold 2,050 and 535 units each during the same period.

EVs now make up over a quarter of global car sales and are on track to hit 40% by 2030, according to the IEA’s new report.

Driven by new energy vehicle subsidy policies, the localization wave of automotive chips in China is intensifying, accelerating the domestic substitution process. Chinese integrated device manufacturers (IDM) such as Silan and BYD have achieved breakthrough growth in the power semiconductor sector, with their market shares rising significantly. This shift disrupts the long-standing dominance of foreign companies and has drawn the attention of German giant Infineon.
