BYD overview
BYD history
BYD was founded in February 1995 as a rechargeable battery manufacturer. In 2003, the company diversified into the automotive industry by acquiring and restructuring Xi'an Qinchuan Automobile. The brand's first car model, the F3 sedan, was launched in 2005. In 2008, BYD introduced the F3DM, the world's first plug-in hybrid vehicle, followed by the e6, its first fully electric vehicle, in 2009. In 2022, the company ceased production of gasoline-only vehicles, focusing on electric and plug-in hybrid models. In 2024, BYD celebrated the production of its 10 millionth vehicle, marking a significant milestone in its journey. (motor1.com)
