BYD Achieves Over 5,000 Electric Vehicle Sales in Vietnam

BYD Hits Sales Milestone in Vietnam’s Growing EV Market

HANOI, Vietnam — February 10, 2026 — Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD Auto has surpassed 5,000 total vehicle sales in Vietnam, a notable achievement for the brand’s rapid growth in the Southeast Asian nation. This milestone comes less than two years after BYD began selling vehicles in Vietnam, reflecting rising local demand for electrified mobility options.

The figure includes BYD deliveries since the company’s market entry in mid-2024 and a robust sales performance throughout 2025, its first full calendar year of operations in the country.

Sales Breakdown and Model Lineup

BYD first launched in Vietnam in June 2024, introducing three initial models — the Dolphin compact EV, the Seal sedan, and the Atto 3 crossover. Since then, the brand has expanded its repertoire to a nine-model lineup, encompassing vehicles that appeal to a broad spectrum of Vietnamese car buyers.

In detail:

• 2024 deliveries: Early market launch with initial units sold after introduction.
• 2025 deliveries: Strong growth, with approximately 3,718 units delivered, contributing the majority of the cumulative total.
• Cumulative total: Over 5,000 vehicles sold through coordinated dealer and service network efforts across major Vietnamese cities.

Local Market Confidence

Surpassing 5,000 cumulative vehicle sales in Vietnam within our first full year underscores the growing acceptance of new energy vehicles here and validates our product and service strategy.

Partnerships and Infrastructure Progress

Beyond sales figures, BYD is also moving forward with industrial partnerships that support localized EV ecosystem development. In early 2026, local automotive firm Kim Long Motor announced plans to build a new EV battery plant in collaboration with BYD.

The planned facility — valued at approximately $130 million — is expected to roll out production in two phases:

• Phase I: Targeting an initial capacity of 3 GWh annually to serve commercial EV applications.
• Phase II: Expanding to 6 GWh yearly as demand grows.

This investment signals a broader push toward localized production elements in Vietnam’s EV value chain, complementing BYD’s vehicle sales growth and contributing to regional industrial development.

Why Vietnam Is Strategic

Vietnam has emerged as an important market for electrified vehicles in Southeast Asia, due to factors including:

• Growing consumer interest driven by broader awareness of sustainable transport.
• Expanding charging infrastructure supported by both public and private initiatives.
• Government incentives that promote new energy vehicles and related industries.

Industry observers note that Chinese EV brands like BYD have gained traction in Vietnam by offering a compelling combination of affordability, varied model choices, and extensive after-sales support.

Key Highlights

• BYD has surpassed 5,000 cumulative vehicle sales in Vietnam since mid-2024.

• The brand now has a nine-model lineup in the Vietnamese market.
