At an event at their new factory in Bahia, Brazil, BYD Chairman Wang Chaunfu personally delivered its 14 Millionth NEV (BEV and PHEV) to Brazilian President Lula da Silva. The new BYD factory replaces a former Ford plant on the same site that closed several years ago. Local politicians praised the plant for rejuvenating the economy, providing both direct jobs and indirect benefits to local businesses.The vehicle delivered to Lula was a special edition Song Pro DM-I, manufactured at the plant. The vehicle is currently produced alongside the Seagull and King (aka, Chaser 05, Seal 5). Thirty of these vehicles will be provided for the November COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in the Amazonian city of Belém. After the event, the vehicles will be donated.

September saw plugin EVs take 35.5% share of the UK auto market, up from 29.4% year-on-year. BEVs grew in volume by 29% YoY, PHEVs grew 56%.

The refreshed BYD Yuan Plus (aka, Atto 3) appeared in recent regulatory filings with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Overall, the styling shows only minor tweaks to the exterior. However, there is one seemingly minor visual difference with significant implications, as pointed out by qq.com: the charging port has been moved from the front fender, below the A pillar (see below), to the rear fender (see top image).

BYD recently announced, as reported in Chinese media, that its 8th Ro-Ro (roll on-roll off car carrier) ship recently departed from the Xiaomo International Logistics Port in Shenzhen, bound for Singapore with over 6,000 vehicles on board. The energy-efficient ship and the expansion of BYD’s export capacity is newsworthy in and of itself. BYD’s cooperation with Shenzhen Port Group to develop green shipping corridors is also significant. However, within the context of Singapore, the shipment has massive implications for this relatively small market. In 2024 BYD sold 6191 vehicles in Singapore. Roughly the size of this one shipment. However, that made them the largest automaker in the country for the year. Not just in EV sales, but in overall vehicle sales, overtaking Toyota. In addition, BYD was already the top selling automaker in the first half of 2025, with 4,667 vehicles representing an 80.4% YoY increase, distancing itself from Toyota in second. Meanwhile, Tesla, once the top EV brand, declined to a few hundred vehicles. Between the new shipment and first half sales, BYD is looking at over 25% of the total Singapore market, even without including 3Q sales.
