BYD celebrates delivery of 90,000th NEV for Thailand

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- BYD recently celebrated two major milestones at its Rayong plant in Thailand: the delivery of its 90,000th new energy vehicle (NEV) in the country and the first anniversary of the plant's operation, according to a press release BYD issued on July 9.

At the ceremony, the 90,000th NEV—a DENZA D9—was officially handed over to a customer. Meanwhile, the first locally assembled Destroyer 05 rolled off the production line, signaling the model's future launch in the Thai market.

In just three years since entering Thailand, BYD has rapidly emerged as a benchmark for China's automobile exports, underpinned by strong market recognition for its diverse product lineup. The 90,000-vehicle milestone reflects growing consumer trust and serves as a testament to the broader success of China-Thailand collaboration in advancing green mobility.

The rollout of the Destroyer 05 marks an expansion of BYD's product matrix in Thailand, addressing the country's increasingly diverse transportation needs. As a flagship smart manufacturing hub, the Rayong facility has achieved full localization of production, with an annual capacity of 150,000 units and steady progress in supply chain integration.

BYD noted that the successful delivery of its 90,000th NEV exemplifies the effective implementation of its "global manufacturing + local penetration" strategy. The introduction of the Destroyer 05 to local production will strengthen BYD's leadership in the Southeast Asian PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) market, reinforcing its dual-track growth in both PHEV and battery electric vehicle (BEV) segments. Going forward, the company plans to introduce more differentiated products tailored to the Thai market, meeting a wide range of needs from urban commuting and family travel to off-road exploration and premium mobility.
