China Passenger Car Sales Slide for 11th Straight Month on Sluggish Demand

BYD's August NEV Sales Jump as Record Exports Offset China Slump

BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) sold 440,293 new energy vehicles in August, a nearly 18% increase from a year earlier, as record exports offset a drop in domestic sales.NEV exports during the month more than doubled to 189,466 units from 80,813 units a year earlier. However, domestic sales shrank to 250,827 units from 292,813 NEVs sold a year earlier.Production volume for the month rose 25% to 440,703 units as the Chinese NEV manufacturer boosted output across its entire product lineup, according to a Hong Kong bourse filing late Tuesday.Despite the August rebound, BYD's year-to-date figures remain in contraction territory, with NEV output falling 4.7% and NEV sales down 6.8%.In contrast, BYD's commercial vehicle output and sales posted double-digit growth in the first eight months of the year.The monthly figures follow BYD's interim results released last week, in which the company reported a 7% year-over-year drop in revenue to 344.8 billion yuan and a 20.5% slump in attributable profit to 12.3 billion yuan.Citing data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), BYD at the time said it had consistently led China's NEV exports in the first half."The leapfrog growth of Chinese automotive exports was fundamentally driven by the in-depth cultivation of independent brands on the electrification and intelligentization, the robust foundation of a complete industrial chain, and continuous product iteration," BYD said in its first-half earnings report.However, BYD acknowledged the sluggish demand and intensifying competition at home.Looking ahead to the second half, BYD last week said it expects the transition to NEVs to further accelerate amid high international oil prices and the trend of energy conservation and emission reduction.

BYD's First-Half Profit Falls on Lower NEV Business, FX Losses

BYD Company (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) reported a 21% decline in first-half profit attributable to shareholders, as weaker new energy vehicle (NEV) business and foreign exchange losses weighed on results.Profit attributable to shareholders fell to 12.3 billion yuan in the six months ended June 30, from 15.5 billion yuan a year earlier, while revenue declined 7% to 344.8 billion yuan, according to the company's interim report.Earnings per share fell to 1.35 yuan from 1.71 yuan a year earlier.The company said the revenue decline was mainly attributable to a decrease in its NEV business, while the decline in attributable profit was also affected by foreign exchange losses arising from exchange rate movements.BYD said its overseas business remained a core growth driver in the first half, with its NEV business footprint expanding to 121 countries and regions across six continents.The automaker is also expanding localized production and logistics capacity overseas. Its factories in Brazil and Thailand are already operating, and its owned overseas fleet comprises eight roll-on/roll-off vessels.Looking ahead, BYD said it expects overseas expansion to remain an important support for sales.It plans to deploy 6,000 flash-charging stations overseas and continue increasing production capacity for its second-generation blade battery and flash-charging technologies.The company also expects AI-related opportunities to provide new growth engines. In its electronics business, several server models achieved bulk shipments in the first half, while its latest liquid-cooling products for a major overseas customer entered the production ramp-up phase.BYD plans to expand its AI computing infrastructure business across servers, liquid cooling, high-voltage power supply, and high-speed connectivity.

Update: Hungary Probes BYD Investment After Ex-Foreign Minister Takes Job at Carmaker

(Updates throughout for clarity and to add a statement from Hungary's Government Communications Office and to correct reference to the date of BYD's electric trucks announcement)Hungary has launched an investigation into state support for BYD's (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) investment after former Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó left the government to join the Chinese automaker as an executive.Prime Minister Péter Magyar told lawmakers on Monday that authorities will review decisions, negotiations and state commitments related to BYD's investment approved during the previous government. The probe will examine subsidies, tax breaks, permits, environmental exemptions and publicly funded infrastructure provided for the Chinese automaker.Magyar alleged that Szijjártó helped BYD expand in Hungary with "hundreds of billions" of forints in public funding, diplomatic backing and state infrastructure while in office."We will examine all the decisions, negotiations and state commitments made by Péter Szijjártó that were related to the BYD Hungary investment," the Associated Press quoted Magyar as saying. "We will investigate who made these decisions, who prepared them, what professional warnings were ignored, and how much burden they left on Hungarian taxpayers, workers, local communities and the environment."BYD did not immediately respond to' request for comment, while Hungary's Communications Office declined and said it is "unable to provide any additional information or copies of internal communications while administrative reviews are ongoing."Szijjártó announced his resignation from parliament July 15 to join BYD. His post on Facebook described the new role as a prestigious opportunity to work for one of the automotive industry's biggest success stories.While serving in government, the AP reported that Szijjártó, who was appointed to lead the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in September 2014, played a key role in attracting Chinese investment to Hungary.Previous announcements show that in May 2025, BYD secured state support worth 20 billion forints after it picked the capital city of Budapest for its European headquarters and for a research and development center. A month later, BYD also unveiled a 75.7 million-euro investment to expand its electric bus factory in Komárom to manufacture electric trucks.BYD's first passenger vehicle plant on the European continent is also being built in Hungary, as announced in 2023. BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li told Reuters in June 2026 that the facility will start production within the year, which is about a year later than expected."Hungary is the number one priority right now," Li told the news outlet then. The executive added that the automaker was prioritizing production in Europe and that work on a planned factory in Turkey has been put on hold.Reuters also noted that BYD's sales in Europe surged 270% in 2025 to nearly 188,000 vehicles, while sales rose 144% year to date through May to more than 100,000 units.

Hungary Probes BYD Investment After Ex-Foreign Minister Takes Job at Carmaker

Hungary has launched an investigation into state support for BYD's (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) investment after former Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó left government to join the Chinese automaker as an executive.Prime Minister Péter Magyar told lawmakers on Monday that authorities will review decisions, negotiations and state commitments related to BYD's investment approved during the previous government.The probe will examine subsidies, tax breaks, permits, environmental exemptions and publicly funded infrastructure provided for the Chinese automaker.Magyar alleged Szijjártó helped BYD expand in Hungary with "hundreds of billions" of forints in public funding, diplomatic backing and state infrastructure while in office."We will examine all the decisions, negotiations and state commitments made by Péter Szijjártó that were related to the BYD Hungary investment," the Associated Press quoted Magyar as saying.He added the investigation would examine whether professional warnings were ignored and what costs the projects imposed on taxpayers, workers, local communities and the environment.BYD and Hungary's Prime Minister's Office did not immediately respond to' requests for comment.Szijjártó, who resigned from parliament last week to join BYD, has described his new role as a prestigious opportunity to work for one of the automotive industry's biggest success stories.The probe comes as BYD has rapidly expanded its footprint in Hungary, making the country the centerpiece of its European manufacturing and research strategy.While serving in government, Szijjártó played a key role in attracting Chinese investment to Hungary, including BYD's first European passenger vehicle plant in Szeged, announced in 2023.The factory, which BYD has said will begin assembling vehicles in the fourth quarter of this year, is the company's first passenger car manufacturing plant in Europe.In 2025, Szijjártó also announced that BYD would establish its European headquarters and a research and development center in Budapest with 20 billion forints in government support.The headquarters is expected to create about 2,000 high-value jobs and serve as the hub for BYD's European sales, after-sales services, vehicle certification, testing and localized vehicle development.On June 27, BYD announced a 75.7 million euro investment to expand its electric bus factory in Komárom to manufacture electric trucks, creating 620 jobs.The project will triple the plant's annual production capacity to 1,250 buses and trucks, further expanding BYD's manufacturing footprint in Hungary."Hungary is the number one priority right now," BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li told Reuters in June, adding that the automaker was prioritizing production in Europe as it paused work on a planned factory in Turkey.BYD's sales in Europe surged 270% in 2025 to nearly 188,000 vehicles, while sales rose 144% year to date through May to more than 100,000 units.Expanding production in Hungary would also help the Chinese automaker avoid European Union tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China.Although BYD announced plans in 2024 to invest $1 billion in a vehicle plant in Turkey, Li said construction has not started, and the project remains on hold with no timeline for production, according to a Reuters report.The investments form part of Hungary's strategy to become a European hub for electric vehicle and battery manufacturing by attracting Chinese automakers and battery producers.The policy has drawn criticism from opposition politicians, environmental groups and local communities over concerns about public spending, environmental risks and the country's growing economic dependence on China.
