Just one and a half months after commencing production, BYD’s passenger vehicle plant in Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil, celebrated the milestone of its 10,000th vehicle rolling off the production line. This achievement came approximately only one and a half months after the factory officially started production in October.

The BYD Brazil plant welcomed its first vehicle on July 1, 2025. From the project announcement in July 2023 to the first vehicle’s completion, it took only 15 months. On October 9, BYD’s 14 millionth new energy vehicle, a Song Pro model, rolled off the production line at the Brazil plant, marking the day the factory officially entered into operation.
