BYD-Supported Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey Arrives in Singapore, Epic Expedition Concludes Successfully

August 25, the '2026 Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey · Enlightening Road', for which BYD served as the travel partner throughout the journey, concluded in Singapore. The convoy, spanning 33 days and covering over 10,000 kilometers, crossed six provinces in China and traversed Thailand and Malaysia, finally arriving in Singapore.

During the event, BYD's Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang five networks and four brands formed a new energy vehicle fleet, completing driving in various scenarios including highways, mountain roads, and urban congestion zones. The two core technologies, Flash Charging and Divine Eye assisted driving systems, withstood the test of 10,000 kilometers of real-world conditions: The Flash Charging capability of '5 minutes to charge, 9 minutes to fully charge', relying on a network layout of nearly 10,000 flash charging stations nationwide, solved the long-distance energy replenishment challenge; Divine Eye continuously iterates based on daily average data exceeding 220 million kilometers of real driving, effectively reducing long-distance driving pressure, ensuring the convoy traveled smoothly to Southeast Asia. From Xi'an to Singapore, the scene of ancient Silk Road camel caravans resupplying at stations evolved into today's technology-enabled modern expedition.

As of July 2026, BYD has ranked first in passenger car sales across all brands in Singapore for 19 consecutive months. From January to July 2026, BYD's passenger car market share reached 24.7%, and pure electric market share reached 40.3%. Continuously leading sales performance further enhanced BYD's brand awareness locally; BYD's presence is becoming increasingly strong. Today, BYD vehicles can be frequently seen on Singapore's city roads, core business districts, and shopping malls.

Singapore is one of the markets with high car ownership costs globally. Higher purchase thresholds also make local consumers more cautious in choosing brands and models. In such a market environment, despite BYD models' overall pricing not being low, they continued to maintain good sales performance. Currently, BYD has established 16 retail touchpoints locally, with some stores entering core shopping malls.

In 2026, BYD's overseas business continued to maintain high-speed growth. Overseas cumulative sales from January to July exceeded 970,000 units, a year-on-year growth of approximately 76%; Overseas sales in July reached 179,800 units, a year-on-year increase of 124.3%. As of now, BYD's new energy vehicles have entered more than 120 countries and regions worldwide.

This Silk Road 10,000-Mile Journey event combined Silk Road cultural exploration with new energy vehicle cross-border travel, showcasing the latest progress of Chinese brands participating in the joint construction of green transportation development in 'Belt and Road' countries. As car products, smart manufacturing, and services land in more overseas markets, BYD is using new energy vehicles as a carrier to continuously participate in global automotive industry collaboration and green transformation.
