As of October 2025, BYD’s cumulative deliveries in the Thai market have exceeded 100,000 units.
BYD’s Thailand factory recently celebrated the roll-off of its 70,000th vehicle, which is the BYD Sealion 6 model.
Public information indicates that it took BYD’s Thailand plant 16 months from the start of construction to the roll-off of the first vehicle. Another 16 months later, it reached the production milestone of 70,000 units. Specifically, it took just one year to achieve this staged production increase, from the 10,000th vehicle roll-off in November 2024 to the recent 70,000th unit.
More importantly, the operation of BYD’s Thailand factory is deeply integrated with the local market. According to the company, Thai employees make up over 92% of the plant’s workforce. The factory has also fostered the development of 37 local Thai suppliers and possesses the capability to export to Europe and other regions in the Asia-Pacific.
The rapid production ramp-up is driven by strong demand in the local market.
As of October 2025, BYD’s cumulative deliveries in the Thai market have surpassed 100,000 units.
On the product front, BYD has established a dual-lineup strategy in the local market, offering both all-electric and plug-in hybrid models. At a recent Bangkok International Motor Show, the BYD and Denza brands showcased nine products. The Leopard 5 (marketed locally as the Denza B5) was also launched under the Denza brand in the Thai market.
Data shows that from January to October 2025, BYD’s cumulative overseas sales of passenger vehicles reached 785,103 units. Sales in October alone saw a year-on-year increase of 155.5%.
Currently, the company has operational overseas factories in Thailand, Uzbekistan, and Brazil, with new production capacity planned in places like Hungary and Malaysia. The combined designed annual production capacity from these facilities exceeds 300,000 units.
