Shanghai, China - In the recently published 2023 Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands Report, BYD emerges as the only Chinese automaker to secure a coveted position among the top 10 in the automotive category, boasting a brand value exceeding US$10 billion.

On June 15, Google x Kantar revealed that BYD is NO.22 on its annual BrandZ Top 50 Chinese Global Brand Builders List, with the aim of evaluating the international progress of Chinese brands across various industries. BYD climbed up five places on the list compared to last year, having made the list for the sixth time since its inception in 2017.

BYD won the global top-selling new energy vehicle crown by selling over 1.86 million units in 2022, and its NEV sales have surpassed 4.3 million units to date.

BYD all-electric buses and taxis are now operated in over 400 cities across more than 70 countries and regions. As for new energy passenger vehicles, BYD has entered 53 countries and regions since its initial launch in Norway in 2021. Its NEVs went on sale in Japan, Germany, Australia, and Brazil, among other countries. BYD ATTO 3, its first model specifically tailored for the global market, is a great success in terms of sales figures and reputation in international markets. Upon its launch in Thailand, the model created a purchasing frenzy, with customers eagerly buying even at midnight.
