BYD Dolphin 2024 Colors

Sime Darby Beyond Auto, the official distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia has announced a sales milestone of over 10,000 vehicles sold nationwide. In commemoration of this achievement, a convoy drive trip involving 60 BYD cars to Melaka was held. Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Southeast Asia, Sime Darby Motors said “The milestone reflected the growing adoption of electric vehicles in the region and Sime Darby’s strong position as a leader in EV.” “Our commitment to providing the best experienc

BYD recently announced a recall of nearly 97,000 vehicles in China due to a manufacturing issue. According to a report from Reuters, the recall affects Dolphin and Yuan Plus models produced between November 2022 and December 2023. The fault, which involves a steering control unit, poses a potential fire risk. However, Sime Darby Motors, the official distributor for BYD in Malaysia, has reassured local customers that vehicles sold in Malaysia are not impacted by this recall. In a statement issued

With BYD's plant in Rayong, Thailand now operational, the first model to come out of this investment is the locally-assembled BYD Dolphin. To celebrate its launch, BYD does BYD things by introducing massive discounts for the little battery-electric (BEV) hatchback.

It's quite a big cut, considering it was priced at THB 699,999 (~RM 93k) and THB

BYD is forecasted to sell around 3.6 million battery EV (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) cars in 2024. Out of this, only 500,000 units (or 14%) will be sold outside of China. BYD is still heavily dependent on the Chinese domestic market, which is becoming increasingly difficult as consumers cut back on spending. BYD’s long-term goal is for exports (including the production of knocked down – KD – units in overseas plants) to contribute nearly 50% of BYD’s total sales. “Our overseas market will acc

BYD is projected to reach a total of 10,000 units in Malaysia within the next two months. This estimate is based on registration data from the Road Transport Department (JPJ), which indicates that as of June 2024, BYD has registered 8,873 units. While BYD's initial presence in Malaysia was through bus registrations, the number of these vehicles is not significant enough to impact the projection. The bulk of registrations have come from passenger cars, with deliveries beginning in early 2023 foll

Thailand's BEV-centric policies to court companies and their investments in Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) production (and infrastructure) have been largely successful, but they have come at the expense of existing local parts suppliers, which have been shuttering operations. Sompol Tanadumrongsak, President of the Thai Auto Parts Manufacturers Association, recently told Nikkei Asia, "Auto parts makers are also suffering. "Parts orders have dropped by 40 percent so far this year. Each car assemb
