BYD to begin exporting Thai-made electric cars to Europe in late August

Chinese automaker BYD plans to begin exporting plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) manufactured at its Rayong plant to Europe in late August.

On Saturday, the company welcomed the BYD Zhengzhou, its latest car carrier vessel, to Laem Chabang Port in Chon Buri. The ship delivered 300 BYD Sealion 7 sport utility vehicles (SUVs) from China to Thailand.

BYD said the Zhengzhou, which has since departed Laem Chabang for China, will return to Thailand at the end of August. It will deliver a new batch of EVs and then load PHEVs produced at the Rayong factory for shipment to Europe.

The company has not disclosed how many vehicles will be exported in this shipment, or whether they will be the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i or the BYD Seal 5 DM-i models.

The BYD Zhengzhou, a roll-on/roll-off (RORO) vessel, is the seventh ship in the company’s logistics fleet and made its maiden voyage from China on July 26. It called at ASEAN destinations, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, before concluding its voyage at Laem Chabang yesterday.

The ship measures 199 metres in length and 38 metres in width, with 12 decks and a capacity for 7,000–7,500 vehicles. It runs primarily on LNG, with fuel oil as a secondary source.

BYD’s current car carrier fleet comprises:

BYD Explorer No. 1
BYD Changzhou
BYD Hefei
BYD Shenzhen
BYD Xi’an
BYD Changsha
BYD Zhengzhou

I'm seeing quite a lot of these BYD shark pickup trucks on the road in Oz.. they are huge. Spoke to the owner of one who said he couldn't fault it.

For those (Like Me) that hate acronyms BYD means "Build Your Dreams"

**cyrille** · 11-08-2025, 09:16 AM

It isn't an acronym.

It's an abbreviation.

People pronounce it as a word, 'Bid'. At least the BYD owners I've talked to do.

Of course, that might make it an abbreviation and not an acronym, as I'm only 90% or so sure of the difference.

That's all we need in Thailand.

Huge, fast pickup trucks that every Somchai in a Hilux or D-Max will need to race and beat or die doing so.

I always say B Y D, so that is an abbreviation and an initialism.
If it is pronounced Bid then I'd say that qualifies as an acronym.

One reason for operating their own fleet is that some carriers are very reluctant to accept electric vehicles as cargo. Another reason is that they sail unmolested past the Houthis.

Record broken. Over 18 hours before the page would turn.

Almost a fact, now. TD has become a dumpster fire. Doubt things will change with the limited amount of posters left here now.

Nonsense.

If you post 500 piles of copy and paste

onto it over the next couple of years then it will be fine.

Another record broken. Yesterday, I had to stop at 21 hours
