I simply wrote about BYD’s 2024 passenger car gross sales and highlighted traits going again two years through numerous charts. Nonetheless, BYD additionally produces massive business electrical autos — electrical buses, heavy-duty electrical vehicles, and extra. For 2 causes, I made a decision to separate out business electrical autos into this separate article. To start with, a lot of the dialogue round electrical autos is centered on electrical vehicles, SUVs, and pickup vehicles — regular shopper or “passenger” electrical autos. I didn’t wish to confuse issues for discussions like this one. I additionally didn’t wish to bury the business electrical car story, particularly since this one is probably much more dramatic than the electrical automobile one.
To begin with, we’ve acquired the matter of electrical buses. In December, BYD bought 70.8% extra electrical buses than it bought in December 2023. However bus deliveries are very up and down. How did 2024 as an entire examine to 2023? Yr over 12 months, electrical bus gross sales had been up by 18.6%. There have been 570 extra electrical bus gross sales in December and 875 extra throughout the 12 months as an entire. Clearly, taking a look at these numbers and/or the chart above, December was the massive booster to this phase of BYD’s enterprise. Total, BYD had strong progress of electrical bus gross sales, however you ain’t seen nothing but.
So far as non-bus business electrical autos, BYD had large progress in 2024. It had 3,934 extra gross sales in December and 9,389 extra gross sales throughout 2024, which meant 6556.7% progress in December and 138% progress throughout the total 12 months!
So, in addition to BYD did rising its passenger electrical automobile gross sales, it’s in all probability not going to get sufficient consideration for a way a lot it grew its gross sales of enormous business electrical autos.
