Celebrating BYD’s Legacy of Innovation
This year marks a historic milestone for BYD as it celebrates 30 years of leadership in electrified mobility and its production of the 10-millionth New Energy Vehicle (NEV). BYD is the first automaker in the world to achieve this milestone, showcasing its unparalleled commitment to driving the global transition toward cleaner, smarter, and more efficient transportation.

The launch of the BYD Seal 5 DM-i in the Philippines continues this legacy, making sophisticated electrified solutions accessible to more drivers and further strengthening BYD’s role in shaping the future of mobility.
