At its June 9 AGM, BYD Co. chairman and president Wang Chuanfu said the company
now expects overseas sales to exceed the previously targeted 1.6 mln units this
year. He cited BYD’s established overseas presence, reputation, technology,
products and service network as supporting stronger export performance. Wang
said current AI advances make earlier deployment of L3 and L4 autonomous driving
likely. He added the company expects substantial growth by 2030 and aims to be
the global leader in scale within five years.
