BYD surpasses Renault-Nissan in the third quarter and remains leader in China
In the third quarter of 2026, BYD sold 1.32 million vehicles, surpassing the Renault-Nissan alliance while remaining the leader in the Chinese new energy vehicle market with over 490,000 units for the period and 3.62 million from January to October. The manufacturer has seen six consecutive months of growth in sales and exports, which have more than doubled, but domestic sales fell by 10.6% in October and profitability in China remains under pressure. Financial markets are divided: the share price dropped by 27% before rebounding after the denial regarding the halt of a driver assistance system, while profit over nine months declined by 4.2%. Abroad, volumes remain mixed, with only 1,271 vehicles sold in Japan in the first quarter, as BYD accelerates the export of electric buses and develops charging networks outside China.
