BYD Opens Tai 9 Order Books as 19-Millionth Vehicle Rolls Off the Line in Xi'an
Published on 11/12/2026 at 04:01 | Editorial boerse-global.de
BYD marked a production milestone and a product launch on the same day, confirming Monday that its 19-millionth new-energy vehicle came off the assembly line at its Xi'an plant — and that the vehicle in question was a Tai 9, the SUV from its Fang Cheng Bao brand whose reservations opened the same day. Word of the milestone came via the company's official WeChat channel, Shenzhen Release.
The Tai 9 will carry the second generation of BYD's Blade Battery along with fast-charging technology, according to the automaker.
Third-Quarter Profit Jumps 28% but Falls Short of Brokerage Forecasts
Figures reported on October 29 for Q3 2026 showed revenue of 221.49 billion RMB, up 13.59% year on year. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached 10.02 billion RMB, a gain of 28.08% over the prior-year period. Both lines grew, yet the bottom-line advance landed below the forecasts brokerages had set — a miss that took some of the shine off the quarter.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying BYD?
BlackRock Trims Its Stake
In a separate disclosure dated November 3, BlackRock reported an off-exchange sale of 8.12 million BYD shares, cutting its long position from 7.17% to 6.95%.
The stock was down 1.5% on the day. Shares in Hong Kong also weakened, with electric-vehicle makers broadly under pressure in that market.
BYD Rejects Data-Sharing Concerns Raised in Brussels
On the political front, BYD told Reuters that European vehicle data is not made accessible to BYD entities or to third parties in China. The statement responds to a November 4 request from 14 members of the European Parliament, who asked the European Commission to assess potential security risks posed by the company's vehicles and to weigh possible restrictions — including excluding BYD from public procurement. BYD's denial directly challenges the premise that European vehicle data would be available to its companies or other parties in China.
Smartphone Tie-Up With Vivo
BYD also closed a strategic partnership with vivo on October 30. The agreement covers smartphone-to-vehicle integration and joint work on cross-device artificial intelligence.
