BYD Silk Road 10,000 Mile Journey Concludes, Sells at High Prices in Singapore Yet Tops Sales for 19 Consecutive Months

On August 25, the 2026 Silk Road 10,000 Mile Journey - Road to Inspiration, with BYD serving as the travel partner throughout, concluded in Singapore. The convoy spent 33 days and traveled over 10,000 kilometers, departing from Xi'an, crossing six provinces domestically, then crossing the sea via Thailand and Malaysia, finally landing in Singapore. The slogan revealed for this event was Green Energy Accompanies the Long Silk Road Journey. A new energy vehicle convoy composed of the Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Fangchengbao, and Yangwang five series and four brands put the two major technologies of Fast Charging and Sky Eyes assisted driving through the grind of a real long-distance trip.

Speaking of which, Singapore is one of the global markets with the highest car buying costs, with thresholds outrageously high; locals choose cars more prudently than we pick mobile phones. However, as of July 2026, BYD has already topped the sales chart for all passenger car brands in the locality for 19 consecutive months, with an overall market share of 24.7% from January to July, and a pure electric market share of 40.3%. Car prices are not cheap, even more expensive than domestically, yet they remain sought after. Currently, there are 16 retail touchpoints in the locality, with some stores opening directly into core shopping malls. This trend of expensive yet selling out wildly is like old ladies squeezing onto a bus - slow and expensive but dignified. Netizens joked, Other cars go global relying on price cuts, BYD plays the high-end game in Singapore is truly a hit.

Now, Chinese car companies going global are no longer just low-price movers. BYD topped new energy sales in Thailand and Singapore in the first half of the year, pure electric sales in the UK surpassed Tesla, Brazil sold nearly 100,000 units to firmly stay first. From January to July, overseas cumulative sales exceeded 970,000 units, a year-on-year increase of approximately 76%. The Fast Charging network has nearly 10,000 stations domestically, with a plan to reach 20,000 by year-end. 5 minutes to charge well, 9 minutes to charge full, turning refueling anxiety into an extreme show. Technology going global has also rolled from product competition to industry ecosystem. For example, Brazil incorporated BYD charging standards into regulations. This wave belongs to the rule faction in the car circle's show-offs - not stacking horsepower, using standard output to cure anxiety of presence.

Personally, in the current environment, Chinese brands tearing a hole in the high-end market through green energy technology plus localized channels is a solid upgrade sample of the Belt and Road Initiative. Green Energy Accompanies the Long Silk Road Journey is not just a slogan; ancient camel caravan stations turning into Fast Charging stations indicates industry collaboration has truly landed. The car circle lacks no spec-sheet warriors, but lacks true tough operators who make local operations daily essentials. From concluding to long-term penetration, we must see if overseas factory building is sincere, and whether Sky Eyes data iteration can match the aggressive dominance of European and American veterans.
