100,000th Vehicle Rolls Off the Line! BYD Brazil Factory Welcomes Development Milestone

On July 16 local time, the BYD Brazil factory welcomed a new development milestone.

On that day, the factory's 100,000th new energy vehicle officially rolled off the line, the model was BYD Seagull; at the same time, the number of employees on duty at the factory surpassed 5,500.

It is worth mentioning that,from the factory's production launch in July 2025 to the completion of the 100,000th new energy vehicle roll-off, it took only about a year.

This speed not only reflects the factory's rapid capacity ramp-up, but also reflects BYD's continuously growing competitiveness in the Brazilian market.

From factory construction to supply chain perfection, and then to driving local employment, BYD is truly rooting the new energy vehicle industrial chain in Brazil, and thereby promoting the development of local green transportation.

Relying on the localization strategy, the BYD Brazil factory maintains steady development, and continuously drives local industrial upgrade and employment growth.

Li Tie, General Manager of BYD Brazil Branch, stated that the Camaçari factory's leap-forward development is a direct reflection of the effectiveness of BYD's strategy to deepen its presence in the Latin American market.

"We are fully committed to building the Camaçari factory into a modern new energy industrial base for the future, while continuously releasing capacity and improving the local supply chain system, creating more high-quality local jobs, continuously amplifying the social value of new energy industry implementation, and assisting Brazil in the green transportation transformation and upgrading."

Apart from the breakthrough in capacity, the employee scale exceeding 5,500 is also an important part of this milestone.

Compared to the initial phase of the factory's production, the continuously expanding employee scale today also means that BYD's localized manufacturing is moving from 'building factories' to 'building industries' into a new stage.

Ednei dos Santos Silva, the 5,500th employee to join this time, is a microcosm of BYD driving local employment.

He personally witnessed the gradual decline of the local traditional automobile industry, and also witnessed the industrial park losing vitality at one point, therefore he is deeply touched by BYD's arrival.

He stated that after BYD landed,not only reactivated the local industry, but also brought stable development opportunities to more and more residents.

"This is a brand new starting point in my career, allowing me to stably fulfill family responsibilities and continuously improve professional skills, taking root and growing on the land of my hometown, building the future together. Witnessing Camaçari regain industrial vitality and rediscover development dreams, I feel extremely honored."

In fact, for a global automotive company, building factories overseas does not merely mean increasing capacity, the more important thing is whether it can truly integrate into the local market.

The dual milestone of achieving the 100,000th new energy vehicle roll-off and surpassing 5,500 employees this time not only reflects the BYD Brazil factory's rapid construction speed and stable capacity output capability, but also means that its strategy of building a core new energy industrial base in South America is further being implemented.

Compared to simply achieving a capacity breakthrough, what is more worth noting is that BYD is focusing on localized manufacturing as the core, combining its global layout with local industrial development.

By continuously creating jobs, perfecting industrial chain support, promoting green travel, etc., transforming the company's development momentum into long-term power for Brazil's industrial upgrade, livelihood improvement, and green transformation, and also further deepening the cooperation between China and Brazil in the new energy vehicle industry field.

In recent years, BYD's overseas layout has accelerated significantly.

Currently, the company's new energy vehicles have entered more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, and are continuously promoting localized manufacturing in markets such as Brazil, Thailand, and Hungary.

In the first half of this year, BYD's overseas sales were about 790,000 vehicles, an increase of over 70% year-on-year, overseas sales volume accounts for more than 40% of total new energy vehicle sales, the international market is becoming a new growth engine for the company.

With the Brazil factory welcoming the 100,000th new energy vehicle roll-off, BYD's globalization strategy is also entering a new stage of continuous result realization.
