BYD's new energy vehicle products are currently available in over 119 countries and regions across six continents.

The company invested 43.75 billion yuan in research and development during the first three quarters of 2025, a 31% year-over-year increase. BYD's cumulative R&D investment has exceeded 220 billion yuan, reflecting its focus on technological innovation as a core development strategy.

The Denza brand, operating under the values of "Elegance, Innovation, Technology," has expanded into multiple Asian markets including Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. The Denza D9 became the best-selling luxury MPV in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia during the first half of the year.

Denza has extended its presence to key regions in Europe and Latin America, contributing to the electrification of the global luxury automotive market.
