33-Day Cross-Border Real-World Test, BYD Silk Road Expedition: Green Energy Companion Delivers Two Sets of Results

The threshold for buying a car in Singapore is high, so consumers naturally exercise more caution when making choices. Putting the finale of the Silk Road 10,000-Mile Expedition here feels like a "double acceptance": verifying technology along the way and validating the market upon landing. Whether the fleet can stably complete over 10,000 kilometers is one report card, and whether the brand can enter the daily lives of locals is another.

This journey lasted 33 days, departing from Xi'an, crossing six provinces domestically, passing through Thailand and Malaysia, finally arriving in Singapore. Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang multiple models faced highways, mountain roads, and city congestion along the way. The road conditions were complex enough, giving the test real weight. Supercharging for 5 minutes from 10% to 70%, charging to 97% in 9 minutes, solves the long-distance fleet scheduling; God's Eye auxiliary driving relies on over 220 million kilometers of real driving data daily for continuous iteration, corresponding to repetitive operations and fatigue pressure during continuous driving. Green Energy Companion on the Silk Road Journey did not stay in a slogan; every technology can find its exam questions within the route.

After arriving in Singapore, market performance aligns with this journey. From January to July 2026, BYD's local passenger car market share reached 24.7%, and pure EV market share reached 40.3%, while also establishing 16 retail touchpoints, with some stores entering core shopping centers. In an environment with high vehicle ownership costs and non-low product prices, consumers are still willing to choose, indicating that product experience, channel reach, and after-sales service are forming a complete support system.

Expanding the view overseas, BYD's overseas cumulative sales for the first 7 months of this year exceeded 970,000 units, with July alone reaching 179,800 units. Products have entered over 120 countries and regions. Digital growth is of course noticeable, but this 10,000-mile journey showed me that the real difficulty of overseas operations is delivering technology, products, and local services together to the user's side.

Therefore, the highlights of the Singapore finale have three layers: verifying product capabilities over 10,000 kilometers, verifying user choice through market share, and long-term operations undertaken by the retail network. These three things linked together are more convincing than a lively arrival ceremony. The fleet has stopped, but BYD's overseas journey continues.
