Full Escort for the Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey, BYD Has Become a Role Model for Chinese Auto Overseas Expansion

Recently, the domestic leg of the 2026 Silk Road 10,000 Miles Journey Enlightenment Road concluded successfully in Shenzhen. The new energy vehicle fleet escorted by BYD throughout the journey traversed thousands of kilometers, successfully completed the overland Silk Road exploration journey, and from here sets sail to connect with the Maritime Silk Road, embarking on an all-new overseas journey.

The camel bells of the ancient Silk Road echoed, witnessing the fusion and mutual learning of Eastern and Western civilizations. Today, new energy vehicles continue the historical mission, opening a new chapter belonging to Chinese intelligent manufacturing.

This Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey focuses on culture, technology, and trade. The BYD fleet departed from the Silk Road starting point Xi'an, passing through multiple historical famous cities, visiting the four Eastern cultural symbols of fragrant herbs, porcelain, silk, and tea, integrating the millennium-old intangible cultural heritage with modern automotive technology Autohome.

During the long journey, complex road conditions and diverse climates tested the vehicle strength in turns. BYD's full matrix of models, relying on stable vehicle performance, flash charging and energy replenishment technology, and intelligent driving capabilities, calmly handled various travel scenarios, successfully completed all domestic leg schedules, and verified the solid product strength of Chinese new energy vehicles with actual performance.

Shenzhen is not only the end of the domestic leg but also the starting point for heading overseas. After completing the domestic itinerary, the fleet will continue on the Maritime Silk Road, rush to multiple overseas locations to carry out brand display and product experience series of activities, bringing the strength of Chinese new energy to the world. Galloping through mountains and seas for a green voyage, BYD is measuring reliability with mileage, allowing more international consumers to understand and recognize Chinese new energy vehicle products.

Today, Chinese new energy vehicles are accelerating towards the global stage, becoming another business card of Chinese high-end manufacturing. What it exports is not only complete vehicle products, but also a complete energy replenishment system and low-carbon development concept.

Currently, the competition in global new energy vehicles is becoming increasingly fierce. Going overseas is no longer simple product export, but also tests the comprehensive strength of the brand and cultural communication capabilities.

From data perspective, BYD's globalization map is accelerating expansion. As of now, its new energy vehicles have covered 121 countries and regions globally. Overseas sales broke through 1 million units for the first time in 2025. Overseas cumulative sales from January to July 2026 reached 970,000 units, with a strong growth momentum.

More importantly, BYD's overseas expansion has long surpassed simple complete vehicle export, extending towards localized production, technology output, and industrial synergy multi-dimensionally. Placing the first flash charging station in Europe, building an exclusive energy replenishment network in Uzbekistan, laying out localized production bases in Thailand and Brazil, and even bringing the PV, Storage, and Charging integrated solution to Central Asia.

BYD fully escorted the Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey, which is not only a brand expedition, but also a vivid vignette of the leap from Chinese auto product overseas to ecosystem overseas era. The civilization exchange of the ancient Silk Road has never stopped, and BYD is using green technology as a brush to write a new chapter belonging to the new era on this exchange road that has lasted for thousands of years.
