Mr. Liu Xueliang, General Manager of BYD Asia-Pacific Auto Sales Division, stated: “In three years since entering Thailand, BYD has not only committed to providing Thai consumers with cutting-edge technology, premium services, and superior products but has also deeply integrated corporate development with social development. From deploying BYD vehicles for disaster relief in Northern Thailand and providing emergency power supply with BYD ATTO 3, to employing over 6100 Thai staff (representing 90% of the Thailand Rayong Factory) within the first year, our localization strategy reflects BYD’s dedication to Thailand and its local community. This mutual interaction fosters cultural integration, truly embodying the ‘Thai-Chinese family bond’.

From Production Powerhouse to Innovation Engine: BYD Thailand’s Global Exemplar Role
BYD’s Rayong Factory—a globally intelligent manufacturing benchmark—has achieved full-process localized production with an annual capacity of 150,000 units, while steadily advancing deep supply chain integration.
The 90,000th NEV delivery marks the successful implementation of BYD’s “global manufacturing and local cultivation” strategy. With the SEAL 5 entering production, BYD will further solidify its technological leadership in Southeast Asia’s PHEV market, establishing balanced growth for both PHEV and battery electric vehicle (BEV) offerings in Thailand. BYD will continue introducing tailored products to meet diverse Thai consumer needs—from urban commuting to off-road exploration, from family vehicles to premium mobility.
