BYD’s October vehicle sales rose 11% year on year to 490,168 units, based on a November 1 company disclosure, as exports helped offset weak demand and price pressure in China.

Overseas shipments jumped 102.8% from a year earlier to 170,194 units in October.

That export growth came as Brazil led BYD’s passenger vehicle export markets in January to June 2026 with 194,686 units, according to the Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute.

The overseas push may face limits in Europe after China and the EU agreed on October 9 to halve exports of Chinese hybrid vehicles to the bloc.

BYD has already begun trial production at its Hungary plant, with mass production is due in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to a local report.
