In the commercial section, BYD produces electric passenger cars, buses as well as trucks. This enables them to meet the different needs of various customer groups while at the same time balancing out fluctuations caused by seasonality in sales volumes. Further still, they have put money into R&D that gave birth to technologies like the DM-i hybrid system leading to massive growths among consumer markets.

BYD has taken deliberate steps towards entering more than 60 countries worldwide especially those with the potential for high levels of electric vehicle adoption rates besides adapting their offerings as preferences shown by local clients. Furthermore, it has been through participation in joint ventures together with emerging economies that they hope will bring them closer to achieving their goal of becoming number one globally in terms of manufacturing electric vehicles.
