Time magazine believes that China's auto market is the world's largest auto market, competition in the electric vehicle industry has begun, and BYD is moving at full speed under its "Scaling Electric Transport" strategy. Time Magazine recognized BYD's achievements in the global electric bus business and introduced BYD's continuous efforts in the passenger car field, including the hot sales of the luxury car "Han" launched in July last year. The list also mentions BYD's operations in the United States and Europe, as well as the cooperation business that helped create Japan's first pure electric bus ring line.
