BYD Raises Annual Sales Target to 4 Million EVs and Plug-in Hybrids

Chinese automotive manufacturer BYD, one of the leading electric vehicle producers globally, has announced a significant increase in its sales targets for the year 2024. The company now aims to sell up to 4 million electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid cars. This decision comes in response to the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation, as well as the active expansion of its model lineup and production capabilities.

At a shareholders' meeting, BYD's head Wang Chuanfu emphasized the company's readiness to actively compete in international markets, especially in Europe and North America, where the rivalry in the electric vehicle sector is intensifying. The expansion of its model range, including new crossovers and sedans, is expected to help attract more buyers.

BYD is also focusing on the importance of innovative technologies. This year, the company plans to introduce new models that will utilize more efficient batteries and cutting-edge solutions in autonomous driving, which will allow them to reach a new level compared to competitors.

BYD's financial performance over the past few quarters has shown steady growth. Amid global trends towards electric vehicles, the increase in sales targets to 4 million units is expected to positively impact the company’s financial stability and market share in the coming years.

Potential increases in production volume will also affect BYD's pricing strategy. The expansion of the model range and more efficient production processes are expected to help the company lower costs, which may reflect in the final price of vehicles for consumers.

However, the electric vehicle market remains competitive and dynamic. BYD will face challenges related to market saturation and environmental requirements. Nevertheless, the company's ambitious goals could strengthen its position in this segment.
