BYD’s monthly auto sales surpass 200,000 units for first time
Shanghai (Gasgoo)- BYD Company Limited ("BYD") saw its monthly auto sales (including vehicles exported) hit a new high of 201,259 units in Sept. 2022, zooming up 151.22% year on year, while also growing 15.06% month on month, the company announced earlier this week.
Notably, it was the first time for BYD to record a monthly auto sales volume of over 200,000 units and the sixth month in a row to refresh its monthly sales record.
Compared to the same span in 2021, BYD's new energy vehicle (NEV) sales in Sept. soared 183.07%.

Nevertheless, the new energy commercial vehicle (NECV) segment faced a 73.44% downward movement from a year earlier with only 286 units sold.
