About BYD

BYD ("Build Your Dreams") is a Chinese company headquartered in Shenzhen. It was founded in 1995 by Wang Chuanfu as a maker of rechargeable batteries and entered the car industry in 2003 by buying Qinchuan Automobile.

BYD develops its own batteries, electric motors and power electronics. In 2022 it stopped building passenger cars powered only by combustion engines and now makes battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models such as the Dolphin, Seal, Atto 3, Han, Tang and Song. BYD also builds electric buses and has opened car factories outside China.
