HISTORY
Founded in 1995, BYD (Build Your Dreams) began as a specialist in rechargeable batteries before expanding into consumer electronics and, eventually, automotive manufacturing. BYD Auto was created in 2003 and has grown into the world’s largest EV producer by volume, building everything from batteries to electric motors and vehicle control systems entirely in-house.
This vertical integration gives BYD total control over quality, performance and costs — a key reason its vehicles offer such strong value.
BYD entered the UK market in 2023 with the launch of the Atto 3 SUV. This was followed by the Dolphin hatchback, the Seal saloon and a series of new models designed to offer high efficiency, modern design and cutting-edge battery technology for UK drivers.
