BYD Auto New Zealand has moved past the 15,000-vehicle sales mark, a result that shows how quickly the brand is expanding in the country. Growth has been supported by demand for electric and plug-in hybrid models, which are increasingly popular with local buyers.
For Italian readers, this is a relevant signal: BYD continues to strengthen its international footprint, relying on competitive pricing and battery technology. It is a path that could also affect Europe, where the challenge between Chinese brands and established carmakers is becoming increasingly intense.
