Recently, well-known domestic motorcycle brand founder Zhang Xue was waiting for a flight at Budapest Airport in Hungary. He happened to look out the window and captured a moment where a BYD brand advertisement appeared on the airport control tower. He spontaneously filmed a short video to praise BYD's global expansion, saluting Chinese intelligent manufacturing from afar.

In the video, Zhang Xue gave a thumbs-up to the control tower advertisement and said directly: "I am now in the smoking room of the Hungarian airport. Let me show everyone Brother Di! Amazing!" After this content was published, it quickly triggered resonance among netizens. Many netizens also noticed in his video that Zhang Xue's daily commuter vehicle is indeed the BYD Qin L, and folk jokes tease him: "He builds motorcycles wilder than anyone, and drives cars more economically than anyone."

As an industrialist deeply cultivated in the power self-research track, Zhang Xue's motorcycles have long tackled powertrain technology, persisting in breaking overseas technology monopolies; while BYD also takes full-stack self-research as its foundation. Two Chinese industrialists from different tracks, due to their persistence on long-termism and independent innovation, created a wonderful distant resonance. It is worth noting that Zhang Xue is a BYD natural advocate. The two parties currently have no form of commercial cooperation. This salute stems from a domestic industry entrepreneur who understands technology, feeling pride from the heart when seeing the strength of Chinese enterprises abroad.
This control tower advertisement recorded by the lens is not just a brand exposure, but a vivid microcosm of BYD rooting itself in the European market.
Looking at the globe, BYD's global expansion steps are moving steadily forward, with business covering over 120 countries and regions, and overseas market growth momentum continuing to release. Latest data shows that from January to September 2026, BYD passenger cars and pickups overseas cumulative sales reached 1.3378 million vehicles, with overseas becoming an important growth engine. Relying on self-developed core technologies such as Blade Battery, DM-i Super Hybrid, Flash Charging, BYD passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and energy storage businesses are blossoming in multiple points, achieving bright results in multiple markets such as Brazil, Singapore, and Thailand.
Once an accidental transnational encounter becomes a vivid footnote of Chinese industrial innovation. Behind the traffic is the public's growing sense of recognition for domestic independent innovation. BYD's overseas road is not only products and technology going global, but also taking the spirit of Chinese manufacturing down-to-earth and continuously tackling hard problems to the global stage.
In the future, BYD will continue to use self-research strength to explore the international market, and also looks forward to working with more Chinese innovation companies to convey Chinese intelligent manufacturing value to the world.
