The production of the 15 millionth vehicle is proof of BYD's position as one of the main global vehicle manufacturers.

Building a Factory in Indonesia

BYD's high production numbers are certain to increase in the future. Especially since they will be building new factories, including one in Indonesia.

The production facility is being built as part of the company's commitment to developing the electric vehicle market in the country. Construction has already begun and will be located in the Subang area, West Java.

Construction is claimed to be completed by early 2026 and will prioritize the production of the BYD Atto 1. This will be followed by several other models such as the Seal and Sealion 7 in the first quarter of that year.

The factory's production capacity is claimed to reach 150,000 units per year. This figure is considered quite high in preparation for the country's growing electrification market.

The output from this factory is expected to not only meet domestic demand but also global markets in the future.
