Although the current situation of global economic is in a state of unstable state, the development of domestic cars is going against the current. For example, in terms of the recently announced car export volume of China, it has exceeded 1.91 million units, officially surpassing Germany to jump to second in the world, and is currently second only to Japan. This is undoubtedly quite good news for the entire domestic car market, and this also proves that we have grown from a major automobile consumer to a major automobile exporter in the world. And behind this proud export volume, there is a brand that is particularly dazzling, that is, the BYD , which we are very familiar with.
You should know that in 2021, BYD's new energy vehicle sales have reached 593,745 units, and the year-on-year increased by 231.6%! By this year, BYD has sold 1.1851 million new energy vehicles in the first nine months. This is enough to prove how correct it is to give up the fuel vehicle market and focus on new energy vehicles.
In terms of the efforts of overseas markets, it can be seen from BYD's actions this year that it is determined to go to sea. The ATTO3, which was launched in the Australian market in February, was the domestic Yuan Plus model, which kicked off the accelerated overseas trip. Immediately in March, BYD successfully signed a global strategic cooperation agreement with Shell Group and equity cooperation agreement, and announced that it would open up about 300,000 Shell charging pile usage rights to Europe to optimize the daily replenishment experience of European users. In July, BYD announced that it had officially entered the Japanese passenger car market. Starting from January 2023, it will be the first to launch three models: SEAL, DOLPHIN, and ATTO 3, corresponding to domestic seals, dolphins and Yuan PLUS.
For the European market, including Germany, since entering Norway last year, BYD officially launched three models of Han, Tang and ATTO3 (yuan PLUS) to the European market at the end of September this year. Subsequently, these three models were unveiled at the Paris Auto Show, showing the new strength of Chinese brands to the European market. BYD will also start new car delivery in Netherlands , Germany, Sweden and Denmark to further open up the European market.
On October 17, 2022, BYD and three electric models, Tang, Han and Yuan PLUS, appeared at the Paris Auto Show, and signed a cooperation agreement with German car rental company Sixt. Sixt promised to purchase at least 100,000 electric car from BYD in the next six years. You should know that Germany is a powerful car country. For German companies to buy BYD's products in large quantities, it is particularly outstanding in terms of safety performance and core technology. For example, in the safety test score of the EU New Car Safety Evaluation Association in 2022, BYD ATTO3, that is, the domestic Yuan Plus, obtained a 5-star safety rating after various rigorous tests.
In addition, BYD has successively achieved "login" in different countries and regions such as Southeast Asia and Latin America. Its new energy footprint has spread to more than 70 countries and regions and more than 400 cities around the world, and its overseas layout has been further deepened. This also makes BYD's export sales report for new energy passenger cars in the third quarter of this year look particularly eye-catching. In July, the overseas sales were 4,026 vehicles, 5,092 vehicles in August, and 7,736 vehicles in September, and the overall sales are all showing an upward trend.
In the past era of fuel vehicles, domestic cars usually became synonymous with cheap and unreliable conditions. Many Chinese people prioritize imported models when buying cars, followed by joint venture models, and finally, domestic models are considered. In the era of new energy vehicles, domestic new energy vehicles led by BYD have begun to become the first choice for ordinary people to buy cars. For example, the launch of BYD e-platform 3.0 technology has allowed everyone to see the future development direction of new energy vehicle technology.
. Let us wait and see what kind of surprises BYD can bring to us in the overseas market in the future.
