President Awards Honors, Police Fleet Equipped, BYD Successfully Unlocks Global Official Vehicle Market

Official vehicle procurement has always been recognized as a notoriously difficult market for the automotive industry to enter.

Every penny spent by the purchaser is fiscal funds; standards are stricter than anyone's: reliability, after-sales service, batch delivery capability. One failure in any area means elimination. Over the past decades, from capital institutions to street police teams, this market has basically been controlled by joint venture and imported fuel brands.

Now, a large crack has been pushed open in the door. BYD is the one pushing the door open.

BYD's 2026 first-half financial report shows, overseas sales of passenger cars and pickups in the first half reached nearly 790,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 67.9%, business covering over 120 countries and regions globally, topping the new energy vehicle brand sales chart in core markets such as the UK, Brazil, and Thailand. On this basic foundation, BYD's new energy official vehicle business is entering a new stage of 'blooming in multiple points' domestically and internationally — overseas benchmarks leading, continuous domestic expansion, this expansion path is becoming increasingly clear.

Let's look at the heaviest recognition first.

Not long ago, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of the Republic of Uzbekistan signed a presidential decree, awarding the BYD team the National Order of the Republic of Uzbekistan — 'Friendship Order'. This honor is the strongest footnote to BYD's deep cultivation of the Central Asian market, and another high-level endorsement from this Central Asian country after the local new energy factory went into production and the Presidential Official Cars selected BYD models. Chinese new energy vehicles winning trust from overseas government markets through strength, this is a vivid microcosm.

Uzbekistan's recognition is not an isolated case; BYD's overseas official vehicle layout is infiltrating from benchmark markets to a wider scope.

Nearly 100 orders of BYD pure electric official vehicles in Pakistan have been delivered and put into use on a large scale — this is Pakistan's first large-scale procurement of new energy official vehicles, making it a landmark market for BYD's overseas police vehicle cooperation. The Cape Verde Government Official Vehicle Fleet has fully switched to BYD, Hungary, Austria, and other countries have also successively incorporated BYD models into the official vehicle system such as foreign affairs reception.

In this professional niche area of police vehicles, the pace of overseas advancement is accelerating.

In September, BYD delivered a batch of Dolphin police vehicles to the Philippine Police, pushing the electrification of Philippine official vehicles forward. Recently, dozens of Destroyer 05 vehicles were also formally added to the Mexican Police Force as police vehicles. As of now, BYD has delivered multiple models including BYD SHARK pickup, Seal, Yuan UP, Seagull to police forces in various places in Mexico, covering diverse duty requirements. The continuous landing in the two countries' markets marks that BYD's new energy police vehicles are moving from single-point demonstration to scaled and normalized application.

Domestically, BYD also firmly holds a top position in new energy official vehicle procurement.

Announcements from the China Government Procurement Network show that since the second half of the year, government agencies in many places across the country have completed bulk procurement of BYD official vehicles. According to public statistics, BYD secured the number one position in domestic new energy official vehicle government procurement sales for the first half of the year with a market share of over 22%, this bulk procurement in multiple places counts as another affirmation from the domestic government market.

Why is official vehicle electrification accelerating? Policy is driving it clearly: According to the Ministry of Finance's deployment, for new energy vehicles that can meet actual usage needs, the proportion of new energy vehicles in the total annual official vehicle procurement is in principle not lower than 30%; for vehicles used in routes with fixed routes such as confidential communication, mainly driving in urban areas, the proportion is in principle 100% procurement of new energy. The policy has opened a door, whether to catch it depends on the car company's own products.

In the field of police vehicles, Fangchengbao Titanium 7 and other police vehicles have completed bulk delivery in many places across the country. BYD has built a full-category product matrix covering sedans, SUVs to pickups, which can comprehensively adapt to diverse police scenarios such as public security patrol, traffic police enforcement, emergency response, etc., aiding the electrification upgrade of police travel.

Let's say a few practical words at the end.

The logic of official vehicle orders is not the same as buying for personal use. Government procurement looks at total lifecycle costs, after-sales networks, and bulk delivery capabilities. When choosing a personal vehicle, you don't have to follow the official fleet. Don't just blindly rush because the police are using something.

Additionally, 'Friendship Order' honors recognize the contribution of the enterprise to cultivating local industries, and cannot be directly converted into product strength. When it really comes to spending money, still return to your own ledger: budget, scenarios, charging conditions, verify item by item.

But the trend is clearly visible. Official vehicles are a high-end track for measuring the comprehensive strength of automobile brands. From being monopolized by joint venture brands to becoming China's option for global government electrification, BYD is writing a new footnote of Chinese manufacturing with technological hard power and brand credibility, pushing the global government layout of Chinese new energy vehicles one step further forward.
