KARACHI: BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and power batteries, marked a significant milestone on Monday, rolling off its 10-millionth NEV at its Xiaomo production base.

According to the details, this achievement solidifies BYD’s position as a global leader in the automotive industry and underscores its commitment to sustainable transportation.

Founded in 1995 with just 20 employees, BYD has transformed into a multinational corporation with nearly one million staff worldwide. BYD’s Chairman and President, Wang Chuanfu, reflected on the company’s remarkable growth, highlighting BYD’s dedication to technological innovation and shaping the future of mobility.

BYD recently launched its signature vehicles, ATTO 3 and Seal, in Pakistan, aiming to electrify 50% of local automobile sales by 2030. The company plans to establish local manufacturing and broaden charging infrastructure, facilitating a transition to sustainable energy.

Notably, BYD took 15 years to produce its first 5 million NEVs and achieved the next 5 million in just 15 months, demonstrating its strategic focus on new energy vehicles and technological advancement. The 10-millionth vehicle, a DENZA Z9, was presented to Game Science Founder and CEO, Feng Ji.
