Recently, bydir suddenly announced the news of stopping the production of fuel vehicles and blew up the circle of friends. In short, BYD will focus only on pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the future. It should be mentioned that BYD has not "abandoned" existing fuel vehicle customers, and will continue to provide perfect services and after-sales protection in the future.
So the question is, why did BYD stop production of fuel vehicles, why did It become the first car company in the world to officially announce the suspension of fuel vehicles, and what is the purpose and confidence behind its suspension? Today we will analyze and analyze together.
DM-i technology is excellent, and the trend of traditional fuel vehicles has gone
Since the launch of blade battery and DM-i technology in 2021, it has quickly been sought after and affirmed by many consumers, especially BYD's models with DM-i technology, and there have been many times a situation of "one car is difficult to find". Indeed, because DM-i technology is mainly electric, and has the advantages of "fast, provincial, quiet, smooth and green", it can be said that the technical shortcomings of fuel vehicles are perfectly avoided, and in the context of high oil prices, it is of little significance to continue to produce traditional fuel vehicles.
In addition, DM-i technology continues to upgrade, performance performance has also broken through again, but also let us see the trend of traditional fuel vehicles has gone, just like the new BYD Han DM-i and Han DM-p just released, the former comprehensive endurance of up to 1300km, and in the state of power loss, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 4.2L; the latter as a supermix performance coupe, zero hundred acceleration 3.7s, in the state of power loss, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 5.2L.
For more than a decade, BYD has been insisting on running continuously on the track of "technology forward", and with the results of "continuous iteration of technology" and "continuous growth of sales", it proves that "independent brands can only stand firm and develop upwards if they master the core technology", so from a technical point of view, DM-i models to replace traditional fuel vehicles are unstoppable.
High sales, give enough confidence
The hot sales of DM-i models are not short-lived, and judging from the "achievements" announced by BYD in March this year, the sales of DM-i models reached 50,674 units, and the degree of popularity is self-evident.
In addition, BYD pure electric models continue to sell hot, sales in March reached 53,664 units, that is to say, BYD new energy models single monthly sales exceeded 100,000 units, once again refreshing the mainland new energy vehicle monthly sales record, is another sensational industry news, and in 2021, BYD's annual passenger car sales reached 730,000 units, an increase of 75.40% year-on-year, far exceeding peers. Dm models (plug-in hybrid models) have accumulated sales of 270,000 units throughout the year, so high sales will be the basis for BYD to dare to be the first official to announce the suspension of fuel vehicles.
Capacity transfer is necessary
As we all know, in 2022, the shortage of chips, the general price increase of raw materials and other supply chain problems, so that many car companies are miserable, but also due to limited production capacity, the market continues to appear in short supply, especially BYD, the average delivery cycle of 2-3 months, causing some consumer dissatisfaction.
Therefore, BYD wants to supply limited chips and parts to the hot new energy models, it is not difficult to understand, and from the overall model layout, BYD has achieved a leading position in 20% of the market, as long as the future continues to maintain, there is also a vast market of 5 million vehicles, so there is no need to continue to be distracted and powerful in the fuel vehicle industry. Looking to the future, BYD will also launch a number of blockbuster new energy models this year, such as the new Han EV, the new Tang DM series, the new Pro new energy and seals, etc., so it seems that it is necessary to stop the production of fuel vehicles.
Write at the end
Everything inadvertently inserted willows, in fact, is a natural success, BYD's suspension of fuel vehicles seems sudden, but it is inevitable. BYD's technology and sales confirm its benchmarking existence in the field of new energy. Its preemptive layout in the field of new energy broke out in an instant at the moment when the "dawn" came, and BYD is unique in terms of such a forward-looking layout in the global market. It is no exaggeration to say that BYD is rewriting the role played by Chinese car brands in the international auto industry and is leading Chinese brands to the center of the auto industry.
