The BYD Dolphin and Seal will be available in Europe within the year, and will be the first time the company's Ocean series models to be brought there.

BYD recently held a new car launch in Barcelona, Spain, announcing that the Dolphin and Seal will be available in Europe in 2023, according to a press release from the company today.

The Dolphin will be available for pre-sale this summer, with deliveries in the fourth quarter, and the Seal will be available in Europe shortly thereafter, BYD said.

The two models will be BYD's new batch of all-electric models in Europe, following the launch of the Han, Tang and ATTO 3 in Europe last year, and will be the first Ocean series models to be launched for the European market.

These two models will further enrich BYD's European new energy vehicle (NEV) model matrix and will allow more users to enjoy a high-quality new energy mobility experience, BYD said.

BYD officially launched the BYD brand and three models to the European market at the Paris auto show in October 2022. Now, the arrival of the Dolphin and Seal models marks BYD's determination to further expand into the European NEV market, said Michael Shu, general manager of BYD Europe.

On September 28 last year, BYD introduced three battery electric vehicles (BEVs) -- Atto 3, Han, and Tang -- to the European market at an online launch event for delivery to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

All three models are part of BYD's Dynasty series, with the Atto 3 being the first SUV based on BYD's e-Platform 3.0, known as the Yuan Plus in China. Han is the company's flagship all-electric sedan, and Tang EV is its flagship SUV.

Both the Dolphin and the Seal are models in BYD's Ocean series, the former an all-electric compact car and the latter an all-electric sedan.

BYD sold 207,080 NEVs in March, up 97.45 percent from 104,878 units in the same month last year and up 6.93 percent from 193,655 units in February, according to data released on April 2.

In March, BYD sold 13,312 NEVs in overseas markets, down 11.27 percent from 15,002 units in February.

The company stopped producing and selling vehicles powered entirely by internal combustion engines in March last year and switched to focus on producing plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles.

BYD Dolphin sold a record 30,077 units in March, up 186.42 percent year-on-year and up 31.56 percent from February.

The BYD Seal sold 6,000 units in March, down 22.62 percent from February.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) made its brand debut in Uzbekistan and introduced three models to local consumers, as the largest Chinese manufacturer of new energy vehicles (NEVs) continues to advance its efforts in the international market.

BYD held a brand debut and product pre-sale event in Uzbekistan on March 16, and several of its local dealership stores are set to open this month, according to a press release Friday.

BYD introduced three models at the event, including the Han EV, an all-electric sedan; the Song Plus DM-i, a hybrid model; and the hybrid Chazor DM-i, known as the Destroyer 05 in China.

Uzbekistan, the largest automotive market in Central Asia, is transitioning toward vehicle electrification, and BYD will bring industry-leading blade battery and DM-i super hybrid technology to local consumers, the release said.

Three pioneering BYD stores in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent will open in March: a BYD flagship store and technology museum, a comprehensive BYD brand experience center and a BYD city showroom.

It is worth noting that BYD has already made some previous moves to pave the way for its long-term growth in Uzbekistan.

In February 2022, BYD and Uzavtosanoat JSC (UzAuto) signed a mutual memorandum of understanding, agreeing to study the feasibility of joint production of electric passenger cars and electric buses in the Central Asian country.

UzAuto, established in 1994, is the largest and only car manufacturer in Central Asia with a complete automotive industry footprint and an extensive local and inter-regional sales network and after-sales service system.

On December 30, 2022, BYD announced that it had signed an agreement with UzAuto to establish a joint venture that will focus on the production of NEVs and their components.

The joint venture will be based in Uzbekistan and will focus on the future production of several of BYD's best-selling NEV models, including the DM-i Super Hybrid, and related components, according to a BYD press release at the time.

BYD, the world's largest maker of NEVs, sold 193,655 vehicles in February, up 27.96 percent from 151,341 units in January and up 119.36 percent from 88,283 units in the same month last year, according to figures it announced earlier this month.

In February, BYD sold 15,002 NEVs in overseas markets, up 44.13 percent from 10,409 units in January.

In addition to announcing its business progress in Uzbekistan, BYD also announced on Friday that it entered into a partnership with UAE dealer Al-Futtaim on March 15.

BYD has delivered a new batch of electric buses in Indonesia, the second batch delivered there by the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) maker.

VKTR Group, a BYD electric bus distributor in Indonesia, recently delivered 22 electric buses, the K9, to local bus company Mayasari, according to a press release from the NEV maker today.

The electric buses will be put into operation on the Transjakarta bus rapid transit system, helping Indonesia achieve its goal of electrifying public transportation nationwide by 2030, BYD said.

This is the second order BYD has delivered in Indonesia, representing the NEV maker's continued effort in the Indonesian market, said Tian Chunlong, general manager of BYD's commercial vehicle operations division, at the delivery ceremony.

In 2022, BYD and its Indonesian partner VKTR Group announced a partnership with Tri Sakti, a local bus assembly plant.

On March 8, 2022, the first 30 BYD buses were delivered to Transjakarta, a bus operator in Jakarta, which were the first all-electric buses to be put into operation in Indonesia.

Up to now, BYD has promoted electric public transportation systems in more than 70 countries and regions and 400 cities around the world, according to the press release.

BYD sold 1,863,494 NEVs in 2022, making it the world's largest player in the segment. Those NEVs include 1,857,379 passenger cars and 6,115 commercial vehicles, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

The company sold 1,177 and 1,991 new energy commercial vehicles in January and February, respectively, up 386.36 percent and 145.8 percent year-on-year, respectively.

BYD plans to launch new commercial vehicle models in markets such as China, Europe and Japan over the next three years, the Wall Street Journal said on March 8, citing people familiar with the company's plans.

The company has set a budget of more than $20 billion for its commercial vehicle division through 2025, with major spending planned for research, product development and capacity expansion, the people said.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) officially launched its vehicle offerings in Jordan, following its partnership with local dealer Mobility Solutions Auto Trade Co (MSTC) in September last year.

BYD launched four models at a joint launch event on March 9 with MSTC in Jordan, the first stop for the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) giant to expand into the Middle East market, according to a press release yesterday.

The four models are the BYD Dolphin, Tang EV, Atto 3 and Han EV.

"This conference is not only our first stop in the Middle East market this year, but also a milestone for our in-depth integration into the Middle East market," Adam Peng, BYD's sales director for the Middle East region, said in the event.

The BYD Dolphin is a compact car, the first production model based on the BYD e-Platform 3.0. The Tang EV is a midsize SUV with 520 horsepower.

The Atto 3, which is called the Yuan Plus in China, is BYD's first global model. The Han EV is BYD's flagship sedan.

In addition to the launch of these four models, BYD also announced plans for a strategic cooperation plan with MSTC.

The two parties will cooperate in sales, after-sales and maintenance to provide service and support to consumers in the Middle East, an important step in BYD's continued growth in the Middle East market, BYD said.

On September 27, 2022, BYD announced a partnership with Bustami & Saheb Trading Company (BSTC), the parent company of MSTC and a Jordanian car dealership group, in order to provide NEVs to local consumers.

BYD sold 193,655 NEVs in February, including 90,639 pure electric passenger cars, 101,025 plug-in hybrid passenger cars, and 1,991 commercial vehicles, according to figures it announced earlier this month.

In February, BYD sold 15,002 NEVs in overseas markets, up 44.13 percent from 10,409 units in January.
