This landmark vehicle is the recently introduced BYD Seal 08, the company’s flagship family sedan, making BYD the world’s first automaker to produce 17 million new energy vehicles.
This achievement underscores BYD’s rapid growth and leadership in the NEV market, driven by its strong technological capabilities, broad product lineup and expanded global presence.
