BYD’s industrial car gross sales are reported individually as buses and “others.” Whereas its electrical buses have gotten far more consideration for years — over a decade even — its BYD’s non-bus industrial autos gross sales which were rising like gangbusters in latest months. You’ll be able to see here or here that BYD sells quite a lot of completely different electrical vans. For some purpose or one other, demand for these has exploded.

BYD’s electrical buses truly had a tough month final month, declining in gross sales 41.4% 12 months over 12 months. By means of the primary 4 months general, its bus gross sales have been up 3.7%, only a smudge.

Nonetheless, its non-bus electrical automobile gross sales have been up enormously — 1248.6% in April and 1195.2% in January–April. They elevated from 525 in April 2024 to 7,080 in April 2025, and from 1,595 in January–April 2024 to twenty,659 in January–April 2025.
