BYD Co. Ltd. (Chinese: 比亚迪股份有限公司) is a publicly listed Chinese conglomerate manufacturing company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.[11] It was founded by Wang Chuanfu in February 1995.[12] The company has two major subsidiaries, BYD Auto and BYD Electronic.[13]

It is the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, and is a major manufacturer in automobiles (battery electric and hybrid cars, buses, trucks, etc.), battery-powered bicycles, forklifts, solar panels and rechargeable batteries (mobile phone batteries, electric vehicle batteries and bulk storage).[14] On April 3, 2022, BYD Auto announced its intention to focus on only electric vehicles.[15]

Name

Chairman Wang Chuanfu explained in 2022 that the "BYD" name is the pinyin initials of the company's Chinese name Biyadi, which itself was created from company's original trademark Yadi Electronics (亚迪电子, named after the Yadi Road in Dapeng New District, where the company was once based) and the character Bi was just conveniently added to give the company an alphabetical advantage in trade shows. However, the company later back-formed a slogan, "Build Your Dream", or more commonly "Build Your Dreams", to fit the "BYD" name.[16][17]

History

Founded in February 1995[12] and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 31 July[18] 2002,[19] BYD Co Ltd began as a rechargeable-battery factory competing in the Chinese market against Japanese imports.[14]

In 2022 BYD surpassed Tesla for the world's most combined electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid sales.[20]

Early growth

After ten years BYD had captured more than half the world's mobile-phone battery market and was the largest Chinese manufacturer (and in the top four globally) of all types of rechargeable batteries.[21][14] Mobile phone components were added to the BYD product line in the early 2000s. BYD Electronic was spun off in 2007.[22]

BYD topped the 2010 Bloomberg Businessweek Tech 100 list, a list of large, fast-growing tech companies.[23] Replacing machines with labor lowered costs, and the company began expanding beyond batteries, adding automobiles and mobile phone components.[21]

In 2016, BYD unveiled a working monorail prototype marketed as "Skyrail" (Chinese: 云轨; lit. 'cloud rail')[24][25][26] and announced they will enter the global rail transit market.[27] The first public Skyrail line opened as a 9.7 km (6.0 mi) long loop line in Yinchuan's flower expo in 2018.[28][29]

Corporate affairs

The company has its corporate headquarters in the Pingshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong province of China. Its North American headquarters are in Downtown Los Angeles, and BYD has sales offices in various countries.[43]

The revenue of company is CN¥ 64.9 billion (US$10 billion).[44] In 2010, BYD sold a total of 519,800 vehicles, representing 2.9% of the market in China and the sixth largest manufacturer.[45][46] In 2011, the BYD sales rank was outside the top ten.[47] In 2012, the company became the 9th largest car manufacturer in China, producing over 600,000 vehicles.[48] The majority of vehicles are sold within China; however export markets include Bahrain, the Dominican Republic,[49][50] Ukraine[51] and Moldova.[52] The North American headquarters opened in Los Angeles in 2011.[53] As of 2013 BYD Auto sells the e6 and Electric Bus in the United States as fleet vehicles only. BYD has supplied the Los Angeles Metro system with buses since 2015. A 2018 investigation by the Los Angeles Times found reliability issues with the BYD buses.[54]

Production bases and facilities

BYD US headquarters in Los Angeles, California, United States

BYD has many production bases, including three locations in Shenzhen[55] (one of which is on the self-titled 'BYD Road' (simplified Chinese: 比亚迪路; traditional Chinese: 比亞迪路; pinyin: Bǐyàdí Lù) in Pingshan District, Shenzhen),[55] as well as sites in Huizhou,[55] Shanxi,[12] and Shanghai.[12]

Auto production bases include an automobile assembly line in Xi'an, a K9 electric bus manufacturing plant in Dalian,[56] a photovoltaic module (solar panel) Bloomberg New Energy Finance Tier 1 manufacturing plant in Beijing, an R&D center and nascent automobile assembly line in Shenzhen, and an R&D center in Shanghai.[18]

US operations can be found in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, and San Francisco, California.[14] BYD also acquired a site for a future North American headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, and has built and operates a manufacturing plant in Lancaster, California, near Los Angeles.[57]

In 2019 a bus plant opened in Newmarket, Ontario to handle orders in Canada.[58][59][60] BYD has three factories in Brazil, the first of which opened in 2015 for the production of electric buses.[61] In April 2017, it inaugurated its second plant for photovoltaic modules. In 2020, BYD opened its third manufacturing plant in the country in Manaus, specifically for lithium iron phosphate batteries, for use in electric buses.[62][63] BYD has two electric bus assembly facilities in Europe in Komarom, Hungary and Beauvais, France.[64] BYD built a new facility in Chongqing, China for producing its blade batteries,[65] which are considered to be the safest EV batteries.[66] The first plant of the company in India was opened in Chennai.

Recognition

Innovation

The company has been recognized for innovation; for example it has developed technologies that allow mobile phone batteries to be made at room temperature rather than in expensive, heated dry rooms.[67] In 2010, BusinessWeek ranked BYD the eighth most innovative company in the world [68] and that same year saw Fast Company ranking BYD as the 16th most innovative.[69] In 2016, BYD won the Zayed Future Energy Prize award for Large Corporations for their development of robust rechargeable batteries.[70] In 2017, PV Magazine awarded BYD the top category of innovation on its newly launched battery storage system that advances progress in three categories: modularity, charging and discharging capacity, and efficiency.[71]

In the media

In September 2008, MidAmerican Energy Holdings, a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc, invested about US$230 million for a 10% (or 9.89%[72]) share of BYD at HK$8/share.[73]

Lawsuits and controversies

In December 2018, the Albuquerque council sued BYD over the alleged poor welding, poor battery range, malfunctioning doors and brakes of its buses.[74] BYD denied the allegations, and the lawsuit was settled without money changing hands.[75]

A 2018 investigation by The Los Angeles Times found reliability issues with the BYD buses.[76]

In 2020, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute accused at least 82 major brands, including BYD, of being connected to forced Uyghur labor in Xinjiang.[77]

On April 27, 2020, BYD hired attorney Charles Harder and filed a federal civil complaint in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York,[78] against Vice Media alleging defamation for a story about BYD using forced Uyghur labor in its supply chain which was published on April 11, 2020.[59] BYD's case was dismissed with prejudice in March 2021.[79]

In September 2021, BYD appointed Lu Kewen, an online influencer known for spreading antisemitic tropes, as a spokesperson for the company.[80]

On November 5, 2021, a 36-year-old employee was found dead in a rented home. According to his relatives, his sudden death was due to high-intensity overtime work. However, no autopsy was conducted, so the cause of death remains unclear. BYD agreed to pay the deceased employee's family a lump sum of ¥200,000 RMB in compensation.[81]

In 2022, the United States Department of Commerce found that BYD had circumvented tariffs on solar panels by routing its operations through Southeast Asian countries.[82]

In July 2022, residents living around BYD's Changsha factory reportedly suffered various illnesses, including nausea, coughs, and nosebleeds. Residents purchased testing equipment, and found levels of TVOCs above safety standards; the residents protested outside the factory. BYD insisted that the factory complied with emission standards and threatened legal action against anyone claiming that the factory was the cause of the illnesses; they also shut down several production lines for repairs. Changsha authorities investigated the pollution claims. The same factory had been blamed for causing pollution that affected the health of nearby residents in 2019 and 2021.[83]

In February 2023, BYD confirmed the presence of a toxic chemical, hexavalent chromium, in its electric buses in Japan. According to BYD, the contaminated vehicles will be "detoxified before being scrapped, leaving no impact on the environment."[84]

Imitation of competing models

BYD Auto had been accused of taking designs from other manufacturers. Articles claimed BYD F1 "is a clear copy of the Toyota Aygo,"[85] that the BYD S6 "closely apes the Lexus RX",[86] the BYD F3 "is a copycat of the Toyota Corolla[87] the BYD S8 has a similar appearance to a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class,[88] and the BYD F8 "features an almost identical Mercedes-Benz CLK front-end and Renault Megane CC rear".[89] Although in 2009, the U.S. government had been advised by its consul-general in Guangzhou, China that BYD uses an approach of "copying and then modifying car designs." Chinese courts ruled BYD has not infringed on patents.[90]

Nanjing electric vehicle fraud

In 2016, a peculiar suicide note started an investigation into government subsidy fraud.[91] The auto dealer had been facing bankruptcy and blamed BYD for his situation. According to the note, BYD had received government subsidies for 600 electric buses it had never produced. A single electric bus went for about 2 million yuan (US$305,000). Of 600 buses, the city had received only a few dozen. That year, the Finance Ministry fined five manufacturers (not including BYD) which had fraudulently obtained more than 1 billion yuan (US$153 million) worth of subsidies.[92] The companies were required to return the subsidies in full and also pay penalties worth an additional 50% of subsidies received.

According to the relatives of the man, BYD forced dealerships to increase EV inventories even though sales were bad. In an attempt to clear inventories, dealerships tried selling to people from outside of Nanjing, while simultaneously trying to help them get temporary Nanjing residence documents. According to a dealership employee, the dealerships wound up paying the subsidies on 80% of vehicles sold.[91]

Foxconn disputes

In addition to patent litigation[73] Foxconn sued BYD in Hong Kong and Illinois in 2007, alleging BYD poached 50 Foxconn employees and was complicit in the stealing of trade secrets to set up a competing cell phone manufacturing operation.[93] Court proceedings were brought before BYD Electronic was spun off by BYD later in 2007, delaying the public listing[94] on the Hong Kong stock exchange by half a year.[95]

Foxconn[when?] also opened proceedings in the district where BYD is headquartered, at the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court,[citation needed] which referred the case to the Supreme People’s Court, which in turn commissioned an appraisal by the Beijing JZSC Intellectual Property Forensic Center into files in BYD's possession which were alleged to belong to Foxconn.[citation needed] Eventually[when?] the Shenzhen court made the final judgment: BYD's files contained non-public information originating from Foxconn, which could bring economic benefits to the holders, thereby, BYD was found guilty of infringing Foxconn’s trade secrets.[94][additional citation(s) needed]

Afterwards, Foxconn withdrew the civil proceedings against BYD in mainland China, and sought criminal prosecution instead.[citation needed] On March 20, 2008, the former executive director and Vice President of BYD was arrested.[citation needed] Then on March 24 and 31 2008 two former employees of Foxconn were arrested and sentenced to 1 year and 4 months, and 4 years in prison respectively.[94][additional citation(s) needed]

BYD issued a counterclaim to Foxconn in Hong Kong court, alleging defamation and bribery of Chinese officials as well as intimidation on Foxconn's part.[93]
