BYD EV Technology

Platform: Dedicated EV, 400V-dominant
E/E Architecture: Baseline
OTA Capability: Advanced
Battery Suppliers: BYD
Power Inverter Tech: SiC-based

Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof

E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute

OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable

Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.

Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots

About BYD

BYD, short for Build Your Dreams, is a Chinese multinational company and one of the world's largest producers of electric vehicles, batteries, and renewable energy technologies. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Shenzhen, BYD began as a rechargeable battery manufacturer before expanding into automobiles, commercial vehicles, and electronics. The company is vertically integrated across nearly every part of the EV supply chain, producing its own batteries, motors, semiconductors, and control systems. This structure has made BYD a global leader in both passenger and commercial electrification.

Passenger Vehicles

BYD's passenger car division offers one of the most extensive fully electric and plug in hybrid lineups in the industry. The brand's Dynasty and Ocean series include popular models such as the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song, as well as the Dolphin and Seal, each targeting different segments from compact sedans to luxury performance vehicles. BYD's proprietary Blade Battery, based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, provides superior safety, longevity, and cost efficiency. The company's DM-i and DM-p hybrid systems deliver exceptional energy efficiency, bridging the gap between combustion and full electric propulsion. BYD also manufactures vehicles for sub brands including Denza (a partnership with Mercedes Benz), Fang Cheng Bao (off road and adventure EVs), and Yangwang (ultra luxury performance EVs).

Commercial Vehicles and Fleets

Beyond passenger cars, BYD is one of the world's largest producers of electric buses, trucks, and vans. Its commercial vehicle portfolio includes city buses, long distance coaches, logistics vans, refuse trucks, and specialized fleet vehicles deployed in more than 70 countries. BYD's commercial EVs are widely used in public transport systems across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, supported by large scale battery and powertrain manufacturing facilities in China and abroad. The company's integration of battery, motor, and power electronics technology ensures high reliability, low operating costs, and minimal emissions for municipal and industrial fleet operations.

Battery, Semiconductor, and Energy Systems

BYD's battery manufacturing division supplies both internal production and external clients, with the Blade Battery serving as a cornerstone of its technology platform. The company also produces electric drive motors, IGBT power semiconductors, and complete e platform 3.0 vehicle architectures used across its brands. In addition to transportation, BYD develops large scale stationary energy storage systems (BESS), solar modules, and grid connected renewable energy solutions that support clean power infrastructure globally.

Global Strategy and Expansion

BYD's vertically integrated model allows it to control cost, technology, and supply chain stability across its operations. The company continues to expand internationally with new factories in Thailand, Brazil, and Europe, and localized production partnerships in multiple markets. With a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation, BYD aims to accelerate the global transition to clean energy transportation and power systems, positioning itself not only as an automaker but as a complete new energy solutions provider.
