BYD Has An Aggressive Plan To Expand Into Foreign Markets - CleanTechnica
The article from CleanTechnica highlights BYD’s strategic plan to expand aggressively into foreign markets amid intense competition in China’s electric vehicle (EV) sector. Despite significant government support for EVs in China, the market is highly competitive and unprofitable for many automakers, with the government unwilling to bail out failing companies. BYD, recognizing the challenges of competing domestically where many rivals sell vehicles below cost, is shifting focus to international markets where competition is less fierce and profit potential is higher. This approach mirrors historical precedents, such as Japanese automakers entering the U.S. market and eventually producing locally to gain market share and profitability. BYD is actively investing in overseas production facilities, including a new factory in Hungary expected to begin pilot production in early 2026 and full production by mid-2026. This factory is part of a broader global production strategy that includes plants in Brazil and Turkey, complementing an existing facility in Thailand that already exports vehicles to Europe. Although initial costs in

The BYD 2025 first half financial report showed overall solid year-over-year growth in sales, revenue, gross profits, and net earnings, though results fell short of some forecasts and the second quarter was notably weaker than the first. Margins declined slightly year-over-year and dropped significantly in 2Q, marking the first quarterly net profit decline since early 2022. Despite this, BYD’s margins remain higher than most competitors amid a challenging industry environment. The company’s balance sheet strengthened, with total shareholder equity rising 32% year-over-year and liabilities remaining low by automotive industry standards. A key highlight was BYD’s substantial 53% year-over-year increase in R&D spending, more than double net earnings growth, supported by a new campus housing around 60,000 senior researchers and engineers. This investment underpins BYD’s expanding technological capabilities and product pipeline, although no major new product announcements were made in the report. BYD’s overseas revenue has rapidly increased, particularly in

Allison Transmission Holdings and Dana Incorporated, two longstanding U.S.-based propulsion firms with over a century of experience, recently completed a $2.7 billion transaction in which Allison acquired Dana’s off-highway business. This strategic move aims to expand Allison’s presence in global electric vehicle (EV) markets, particularly in emerging regions like Asia-Pacific, while broadening its commercial-duty powertrain and industrial solutions worldwide. Despite uncertainties in U.S. federal electrification policies, both companies are capitalizing on the growing global demand for EVs, with Allison intensifying its investment in EV-related research and development. For Dana, the sale of its off-highway business represents a significant financial gain—valued at seven times the expected 2025 adjusted EBITDA—and supports its strategic shift toward becoming a more focused supplier of light- and commercial-vehicle electrification solutions. Dana emphasizes its comprehensive in-house capabilities in electric drivetrains, including gearboxes, motors, inverters, and battery management systems, positioning itself
