00:00Gentlemen, willkommen in München. Welcome to Munich. I am Maria Grazia Davino, Regional Managing Director of BYD. And on behalf of the entire BYD team, it is a great pleasure to welcome you to our press conference here at IAA Mobility 2025.
00:26Now, most of you know BYD quite well already, but if I had to introduce our company in just one sentence, I would say this.
00:40BYD is a global tech company that is redefining what it means in automotive to truly put the customer at the center of every product, every innovation, every technological breakthrough.
00:59At BYD, we love challenges that fool us and humble us in a constant positive motion.
01:09And at BYD, the leaders have a clear vision, authentic inspiration and unlimited passion.
01:21Our leader is a true role model, outstanding in her devotion to building dreams and show the way.
01:32She is still Ali, Executive Vice President of BYD and by all means the World Car Person of the Year 2025.
01:43Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in warmly welcoming on stage, Stella Li.
01:53Thanks, Maria Grazia.
02:04Thanks, Maria Grazia.
02:05And a good talk, everybody.
02:09I'm really excited to be here at the IAA in Munich, Europe's motor shows for 2025 because there is such a key region in BYD's plan.
02:26I have a lot of great news to tell you.
02:30Let's start with the latest update on BYD's global growth.
02:35BYD recently placed 91st in the 2025 Fortune Global 500 list, the first time we have been in top 100.
02:53This milestone recognizes not only our rapid growth, but our hard work, focus and dedication.
03:03Our sales continue to rise with 2.86 million vehicles sold globally by end of August.
03:16That is up 23% on the same period last year.
03:21And our overseas sales exceed 600,000 units already, a big year-on-year increase of 137%.
03:38We are doing well in a lot of markets outside China.
03:43And we have been seeing big gains in countries like the UK, Spain, Italy, and France.
03:54Of course, Germany.
03:57We have sold more than 13.4 million NEVs so far.
04:04Another big milestone.
04:06At the heart of this is the success of NEVs, the new energy vehicles, which means BEVs and the superhybrid with DMI technologies.
04:22In the first half of this year, we have consistently ranking the number one for NEVs sales globally.
04:32We are doing this by expanding our line-up and making more cars that people want around the world.
04:42As an example, when we last met in Munich two years ago, we have just six models available.
04:53And look at where we are now, we have more than double that line-up.
05:00And we have got great products in all the main segments.
05:06From the A and the B segments, hatchbacks, to the D segment, performance sedan and SUVs.
05:16Today, we are writing the latest chapter in our superhybrid stories with more than 7 million customers already.
05:30Here, here in Munich, we are introducing our first station wagon, the CIL-6 DMI tooling.
05:43As we now cover all the major market segments, it mixes practically with the ultra-low fuel consumption
05:53that can only come with the superhybrid with DMI technology.
06:01It can be with the new energy generation with a combined range of more than 1,300 kilometers.
06:11There is a CIL-6 DMI sedan, and it can go even further, more than 1,500 kilometers.
06:25The force behind this success is our amazing R&D team.
06:32120,000 engineers are always making our products better, our customers' lives better.
06:44In the first half of this year alone, we invested more than 3.7 billion euros in R&D.
06:5553% more than in the same period last year.
06:59Our total expense in R&D over the years now stands at 25 billion euros.
07:11And we produce more than 45 new patents every single working days.
07:19This commitment to what we are coming next has always been part of BYD's DNA, and this will continue.
07:32The ultimate example of our innovating spirit is Yang Wan.
07:43It's a belief in the pursuit of speed, of design, of technologies.
07:52is what would deliver us astonished, almost unbelievable cars, like the Yang Wan U9 Special Edition.
08:05With more than 3,000 horsepower, the latest Yang Wan hyper cars recently grabbed the title of the world's 40th EV
08:22with a maximum speed of 472 kilometers, just incredible.
08:29Just incredible.
08:34We innovated in all our cars, and here is a piece of really exciting news for customers.
08:43Just one hour ago, the BYD Dolphin Surf was awarded the maximum five-star safety renting by Euro NCAP.
08:56This achievement is really rare for such a compact, accessible cars.
09:05It shows our commitment to setting new standards for customer safety.
09:13We are almost ready to build our cars in Europe, for Europe.
09:21Our new factory in Hungary is on track to start making cars at the end of this year.
09:31This is the real evidence of BYD staying in Europe.
09:38Investment in not only our plant, but also the supply chain.
09:45We are talking to hundreds of local suppliers.
09:50And our goal is to build up local ecosystem for European production.
09:57And today, we are pleased to announce that Dolphin Surf, our World Urban Cars of the Year,
10:07will be the first model produced in Sagat.
10:12We know that we will support our great products by matching them with the investment in Europe.
10:23We are bringing in specialized, experienced local people in all our markets.
10:30By the end of this year, BYD will be on sales in 32 countries.
10:37Cross Europe with more than 1,000 stores where customers can experience and put in BYD.
10:48And this is just beginning.
10:50By 2026, we are double in size, reaching 2,000 stores across the continent.
10:58And though we grow into Europe, we need to consider the lives of the cars that were selling to more and more customers.
11:11Today, I am proud to introduce the BYD certified pre-owned program.
11:20With this initiative, we will bring BYD second-hand customers even great peace of mind.
11:31Every BYD certified pre-owned vehicles goes through a 179th point of inspection,
11:41comes with a guaranteed battery health score of at least 90%,
11:4890%, and is backed by the comprehensive benefit, including a warranty roadside system and data service.
12:00In short, buying a BYD certified model feels just like buying a brand new cars.
12:09Now, today, we will bring our fresh charging station to IA in Munich
12:16to demonstrate to all of you the charging as fast as refueling.
12:23Using our own BYD charging station, you can add around 400 kilometers of range in just five minutes.
12:33We target to install 200 to 300 charging stations in Europe by Q2 next year.
12:43Our flight charging is unique.
12:46The final breakthrough for EV mass adoption.
12:51This is game-changing.
12:54Now, I have an exciting news for you.
12:58All of our Danza products will have flashing charging technology.
13:07The farthest charging possible and every charge is almost 800 of range.
13:18Stay tuned.

13:27Thank you.
13:29Thank you, Stella, for this impressive address.
13:43As you can see, BYD is not just another car manufacturer.
13:50We are driven by a wide vision, by a clear plan.
13:56We have strong purpose and a guiding philosophy.
14:00We are together on this exciting journey of electrifying mobility.
14:07And we are today in Germany.
14:11The land of the Autobahn.
14:15The country of speed.
14:17This is the place at the core of the European industry.
14:22With no doubt for BYD and in the region, Germany is key.
14:28And we are with our relentless teams and great partners on an incredible journey.
14:35Moving at Autobahn speed.
14:38Building a great momentum.
14:41To give you an inside look at our progress today, I call on stage someone who knows this market inside and out.
14:50He will share our strategy for Germany, our ambitions.
14:55And yes, he will also reveal some exciting news and numbers.
15:00Please welcome Lars Biakowski, country manager for BYD Germany.
15:13Thanks, Maria Grazia.
15:14Let's move on to Germany.
15:16A key market for BYD.
15:18A market where we see immense opportunity.
15:21The goal for Germany is clear.
15:24We want to offer service and sales locations that are always within a reasonable distance for our customers.
15:32We understand that buying a car is not just about a vehicle itself.
15:38It's about confidence, service and long-term partnership.
15:42That's why we are growing rapidly in Germany.
15:45Just this morning, in Munich, we opened the first Densa store in Europe.
15:50And with this, we contracted already 100 German sales points.
15:55By the end of 2025, we will have at least 120 sales and service locations.
16:03We are aiming to have about 300 by the end of next year.
16:08It's all about proximity, accessibility and trust.
16:13Of course, none of this growth would be possible without a smart and performance-driven organization.
16:20At BYD, we are building exactly that.
16:24A structure that is agile, strategic and customer-focused with sustainable growth.
16:32Our teams are hungry in the best sense of the word.
16:37They have a pioneering spirit and the ability to adapt and grow alongside one of the world's most dynamic automotive brands.
16:45We laid a foundation for our next milestone, which is selling more than 50,000 vehicles in Germany, passenger cars.
16:56And we have already the foundation, our portfolio, which covers already 90% of all passenger car segments.
17:04And now, the moment many of you have been waiting for.
17:09Let's talk about product.
17:11We are proud to present the BYD L6 Touring, shown today here to the public, to you here at the IAA.
17:18This is a car that represents the best of BYD. Engineering, efficiency and everyday usability.
17:28The C6 DMI Touring has been developed for Europe and mainly for Germany.
17:34The C6 DMI series is built on super-DM technology.
17:39With this vehicle, we are further expanding our portfolio of revolutionary plug-in hybrid models.
17:48Our dual-mode powertrain is more than just efficient. It's intelligent.
17:54It combines long electric range with the flexibility of the combustion engine.
18:01This is ideal for European customers, who demand both sustainability and real-world practicality.
18:10The C6 DMI utilizes a large-blade battery, which allows to drive more than 1,350 kilometers,
18:19and electric-only range is up to 100 kilometers.
18:24And this all with an exceptional value for money.
18:29We make premium e-mobility accessible.
18:34And the market? The market is ready.
18:38Over the last decade, hybrid vehicle registrations across Europe have grown by nearly 40%.
18:45In 2015, there were just 200,000 hybrid cars registered across Europe.
18:52And last year, more than 4 million.
18:55The German market tells the same story.
18:58From 23,000 racks in 2015 to well above 900,000 last year.
19:04So, the 1 million mark is within reach.
19:07And the C6 Touring is ready to meet that demand.
19:12So, this is more than a car, the C6 DMI Touring.
19:16It's a symbol for us of how far we have come and how far we are going.
19:23In conclusion, BYD is not just here to compete.
19:28We are here to innovate and to partner with Germany and Europe on the journey to a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable mobility of the future.
19:39Our positioning of BYD is clear.
19:41100% energy and 100% accessible.
19:46So, thank you, Lars.
19:56Very clear speech.
19:59And thank you for leading BYD Germany on its inspiring journey.
20:04So, ladies and gentlemen, before closing, let me add one more 100%.
20:14We are 100% committed to enriching the industry with our BYD spirit.
20:21A clear strategy, localized in every market with its specifics.
