2026 年嘅中國智能汽車產業，正經歷從功能堆砌向體驗定義嘅深層轉型，衡量其成功與否嘅關鍵標尺，喺人同車之間能否建立超越指令輸入、更富情感溫度嘅互動關係。而無論係座艙內嘅人機互動，定係座艙外嘅環境溝通，體驗嘅落地最終都指向同一個物理載體：光。
當智能汽車試圖喺人同機器之間建立更自然、更高效嘅溝通時，光電系統便從傳統嘅輔助性部件，升級為決定體驗上限嘅核心要件。
呢一轉變嘅直接投射，體現喺人同車之間雙向溝通嘅兩個關鍵點上，一個係車向人傳遞資訊嘅顯示界面，另一個係車向外界表達意圖嘅光影投影界面。前者，AR-HUD 已經從技術驗證走向規模量產；後者，智能車燈已經完成從單純照明向資訊投影、安全互動嘅延伸。
當然，而家嘅行業背景下，兩個應用場景都面臨住相同嘅底層挑戰：光學系統嘅集成度、小型化同車規可靠性。呢其實亦意味著，車載光學嘅競爭邏輯已經發生根本性改變——從單一器件嘅參數比拼，升級為系統級光學解決方案嘅整合能力較量。
正喺呢一產業邏輯轉換嘅關口上，沂普光電近期嘅戰略布局，率先畀出咗系統級嘅發力方案。呢家以自由曲面光學起家嘅企業，喺短短數月內，唔僅完成咗總部嘅遷移，仲接連將蘇州龍馬璞芯、江西德凱納入自己嘅版圖，有意識地構建一條覆蓋光學設計、核心芯片、光機集成、整車光影互動嘅完整價值鏈，以系統整合者嘅姿態，卡位新一輪產業週期。
總部南遷：錨定車載光電嘅產業新坐標
2025 年 12 月，沂普光電完成咗總部遷址，新總部位福建晉江南翼高新區，之後嘅數月內，沂普光電嘅研發中心及核心生產中心陸續投產，並於 7 月 28 日，正式舉辦咗總部開幕典禮。

對於一家成立於 2018 年（核心技術積累可以追溯至 2005 年嘅天津大學微納製造實驗室）、已喺天津深耕多年嘅國家級高新技術企業而言，今次嘅總部南遷，被沂普光電 (福建) 有限公司董事長郭躍武定義為"新嘅戰略升級"。
而家，沂普光電喺自由曲面光學系統設計、超精密光學元器件製造及檢測、光學性能測量系統集成等關鍵領域，已實現完整嘅技術積累，將呢樣技術底蘊從天津遷到福建晉江，佢嘅戰略意圖遠超地理層面嘅空間位移，而係一次將二十年技術積累重新錨定喺產業高地嘅戰略抉擇。

晉江嘅區位價值喺多重優勢嘅疊加。
晉江唔但有完善嘅電子信息及光電顯示產業集群，更有務實高效嘅政府服務同"敢拼會贏"嘅創業精神，郭躍武表示，南翼芯創港作為區域科技創新嘅重要載體，為沂普光電提供咗理想嘅發展平台。
總部位落晉江後，將承擔起核心研發同運營管理職能，同佈局喺深圳、阜陽、天津、廬江、武漢、無錫、萍鄉以及日本、馬來西亞等地嘅海、內外生產基地同研發、研銷中心形成協同發展嘅產業矩陣，加速沂普光電嘅集團化進程。此外值得一提嘅係，作為著名僑鄉同對外開放嘅前沿陣地，福建喺出海方面擁有天然嘅政策同區位優勢，呢亦同沂普光電正在推進嘅全球化戰略，形成咗高度嘅戰略契合。

更深層嘅考量喺市場供給嘅便利性。福建緊鄰中國南部汽車產業集群，係多家頭部新能源車企嘅供應鏈腹地，將總部同核心加工能力遷移至此，沂普光電實際上完成咗一次"離市場更近、離創新更近"嘅戰略升級。
喺車載光學產品從研發到量產週期不斷壓縮嘅產業大環境下，呢種地理上嘅嵌入，意味著更快嘅客戶響應速度、更緊密嘅協同研發節奏同更低嘅物流同溝通成本，企業整體嘅創新節奏，亦將會同產業嘅迭代週期更加同頻共振。
戰略整合：連點成鏈嘅系統能力躍升
如果話總部南遷解決嘅係"喺邊度競爭"嘅問題，咁近期對龍馬璞芯同德凱嘅收購，則係更好地回答咗"靠乜嘢競爭"嘅核心命題。
2026 年 5 月，沂普光電宣佈正式啟動對蘇州龍馬璞芯科技有限公司嘅戰略收購。龍馬璞芯由中科院同國際光學團隊發起，專注於 MEMS 顯示控制芯片、無源合束芯片、HUD 光機同微振鏡等領域嘅研發，喺車載投影芯片、光機集成同 MEMS 驅動控制等領域，都有成熟嘅技術同產品佈局。

龍馬璞芯自主研發嘅 LBS（Laser Beam Scanning）MEMS 激光掃描核心技術已完成車規級可靠性同功能安全驗證，標誌住國產 MEMS 光學掃描方案，已經邁入車載規模化量產嘅新階段。
呢一收購嘅戰略意圖好清晰：向上掌控核心芯片。LBS MEMS 技術以 MEMS 微振鏡為核心執行單元，結合激光光源同高速調製算法，實現小體積、低功耗、無聚焦、高色域嘅激光掃描成像。同傳統 DLP、LCoS 方案相比，LBS MEMS 喺車載嚴苛環境下具備更優嘅抗震性、溫度適應性同空間利用率。對沂普光電而言，龍馬璞芯帶來嘅 MEMS 芯片同微振鏡能力，令佢喺光電顯示領域實現咗從光學器件到核心芯片嘅能力延伸。
如果話收購龍馬璞芯係"向上掌控"，咁收購江西德凱則係"向下拓展"。
日前，沂普光電正式宣佈完成咗對江西德凱車燈有限公司嘅戰略收購。德凱已經深耕汽車智能照明十餘年，具備整車全套車燈總成獨立研發、模具開發、自動化量產交付嘅能力，現有客戶覆蓋咗國內十餘家主流汽車品牌。
沂普光電此前喺車載顯示方面已有 HUD、車內投影、車外投影大燈等產品佈局，德凱嘅加入，助力沂普光電喺整車車燈領域實現咗從座艙內顯示到車外照明嘅完整覆蓋，系統性競爭力得到咗質嘅提升。正如郭躍武所講，今次併購後，沂普光電成為咗而家國內唯一具備從顯示芯片到顯示模組再到顯示整機全鏈路能力嘅科技企業。
收購完成後嘅協同效應值得深入剖析，沂普光電 (福建) 有限公司 CEO 許張飛向蓋世汽車介紹咗呢一模式喺客戶端嘅實際價值：過去客戶需要面對多家供應商分別溝通，溝通成本同管理負擔都相當沉重，而家，沂普光電一家就可以完成從芯片到總成嘅全鏈條協同，內部一個溝通會即可協調整個產品嘅定位同開發。呢一能力並非簡單嘅產能疊加，而係直接回應咗合作夥伴對交付效率同成本控制嘅雙重訴求。
兩次收購嘅節奏緊湊、邏輯清晰——龍馬璞芯解決嘅係"看得清"嘅核心芯片同掃描技術，德凱解決嘅係"照得亮"嘅車外光影同量產製造，再疊加沂普光電原有嘅自由曲面光學設計同精密製造能力，一家覆蓋芯片、光學、光機、整車嘅全棧車載光學能力體系已然成形。
沂普光電 (福建) 有限公司市場戰略總裁盧睿，喺接受蓋世汽車採訪時，從競爭差異化嘅角度進一步闡釋咗呢套體系嘅獨特價值，併購重組之後，從上游芯片到中間光學系統，再到製造同整體解決方案，沂普光電形成咗完整嘅差異化佈局，行業內唔少企業而家既冇涉及芯片層，又冇下沉到底層光學製造，兩端缺失嘅情況下即便能夠提供單一解決方案，都難以喺技術、加工同成本三個維度上真正形成綜合性嘅競爭優勢，而呢啲能力嘅疊加，正係沂普光電喺未來產業格局中佔據主動嘅關鍵所在。
喺過去嘅供應鏈體系中，芯片、光學器件、光機系統、整車應用分屬唔同層級嘅供應商，彼此之間存在住技術銜接嘅縫隙同商業利益嘅博弈。當一家企業能夠從上游嘅顯示芯片一直貫通到下游嘅整車光影互動，佢就獲得咗喺現有供應體系中極為稀缺嘅能力——用系統級嘅視角來定義產品、優化成本同加速迭代。呢種能力，喺體驗定義汽車嘅新時代，正喺成為決定企業上限嘅關鍵變量。

重新定義人車互動嘅光學"語言"
持續完善技術能力嘅同時，沂普光電對車載光學嘅理解亦喺持續深化。呢種深化唔僅體現在產品線嘅拓展上，更體現在對行業共性難題嘅系統性攻關同對未來互動形態嘅前瞻性佈局上。
從行業趨勢來看，車載光學正處於從可選配置向核心系統躍遷嘅關鍵節點上。
隨著 L3 級自動駕駛嘅加速到來，AR-HUD 將提供更多智能互動、安全可靠同便捷娛樂嘅場景應用，未來嘅市場潛力，有望持續釋放。智能車燈領域，百萬像素等智能車燈技術，喺唔少國內高端新能源車型上，都已經成為主打嘅產品亮點，未來，隨著呢一配置嘅市場下探，亦勢必將引領車載互動類、娛樂類功能向個性化、可自定義等方向加速發展。而車載投影則憑藉大畫幅、多場景、可玩性等優勢，亦喺逐步成為中高端車型後排屏嘅重要選項。
呢啲趨勢共同指向一個核心命題：光正喺成為汽車同人之間核心嘅互動媒介，車載光，有望成為汽車產業潛在嘅新增長曲線。
但趨勢嘅明朗並唔意味著路徑嘅平坦。而家行業面臨嘅共性難題依然突出：安全同法規嘅兼容、技術壁壘嘅突破、成本同性能嘅平衡等，都係制約車載光學大規模普及嘅現實障礙。以 AR-HUD 為例，更大畫幅、更小體積、更高像質係未來嘅發展方向，但點樣喺有限嘅車內空間中實現呢些目標，同時滿足車規級嘅可靠性要求，考驗住每一家參與者嘅系統能力。
當然，正喺呢啲行業難題面前，沂普光電嘅全棧能力，價值尤為凸顯。郭躍武明確指出，做精密光學嘅人，冇捷徑，只有不斷創新。"車正喺由原本嘅行駛工具，變成一個移動嘅家"，郭躍武表示，喺成為移動嘅家之後，車就需要為客人提供更多嘅情緒價值，作為光電顯示供應商，就需要從顯示、聲音、體感等各個方面，持續提供創新產品。
沂普光電正喺推進一系列嘅創新方向。比如喺車上，沂普光電創新提出咗超短焦嘅間隔投影，滿足用戶體驗嘅同時，仲能減小體積，方便安裝。許張飛喺產品展廳演示咗呢一技術嘅底層邏輯——將激光電視嘅超短焦顯示技術引入車內，唔僅實現咗更高嘅色域、亮度同解析度，更重要嘅係一體機設計徹底解決咗傳統投影方案中人員走動遮擋光路嘅痛點。沂普光電仲喺探索另一項前瞻性嘅應用創新——將激光雷達同數字化智能大燈融合。傳統激光雷達安裝喺車頂，唔僅造型突兀，仲面臨無法自清潔嘅安全隱患，而大燈本身具備成熟嘅自清潔功能，將激光雷達嵌入大燈總成後，既能保障傳感器全天候可靠性，亦能顯著優化整車外觀嘅流暢度。

用最新嘅技術，最高嘅性能，滿足終端用戶對車內外顯示嘅更優體驗，正如郭躍武所講："只有不斷嘅創新才能打動消費者，為呢個充分競爭嘅行業注入新嘅活力。"
盧睿從技術路線嘅角度，補充咗沂普光電嘅差異化思考。過去沂普光電聚焦於光學元件製造、鏡頭解決方案及光機系統交付等，更多扮演嘅係加工方案輸出者嘅角色，而隨著 LBS MEMS 芯片等能力嘅補全，沂普光電喺消費類領域已經具備輸出微投、超短焦、高亮直投等完整解決方案嘅實力，完成咗從加工方案輸出者到完整解決方案提供商嘅定位躍升。
呢一轉變嘅背後係企業價值定位嘅再升級，進入到價值更高嘅系統集成環節，擁有咗定義產品形態同互動體驗嘅能力。

小結：
從自由曲面光學技術起步，到具備覆蓋 HUD、光芯片、車燈等嘅全鏈路能力，沂普光電走嘅係一條從單點技術突破到系統能力構建嘅演進路徑，其背後折射出嘅唔僅係企業對光學技術代際更替嘅敏銳把握，更係對智能汽車產業走向體驗定義呢一底層趨勢嘅深刻理解。
總部南遷，解決嘅唔係簡單嘅空間位移，而係將研發決策、客戶響應同供應鏈協同嵌入產業腹地，令企業嘅創新節奏同產業嘅迭代週期更加同頻共振。對龍馬璞芯同德凱嘅戰略整合，完成嘅則係一次完整嘅光學生態"拼圖"，獲得咗喺現有車載光學供應體系中極為稀缺嘅能力組合：從光芯片到光器件，從光機系統到整車光影互動，全部融為一體，實現核心技術自主可控，構建獨一無二嘅產業生態優勢。
而家嘅汽車行業有一個共識，智能汽車競爭嘅上半場圍繞"三電"展開，拼嘅係續航同加速；下半場嘅角逐則錨定體驗同互動，而所有體驗——無論係 HUD 投射嘅導航指引，定係車燈鋪陳嘅安全光毯，亦或係座艙內流動嘅氛圍光影等，終須透過光嚟傳達。
誰能夠喺光嘅鏈路中實現從源頭到終端嘅全棧掌控，誰就擁有咗定義下一代人車互動嘅能力底座。沂普光電所構建嘅"芯片 - 光學 - 光機 - 車燈"全鏈體系，恰恰正喺為呢個正喺到來嘅光電定義體驗嘅新時代，修築底層基座。
當光嘅鏈路從元器件延伸至場景、從艙內貫通至艙外，一家企業所能定義嘅就唔僅係產品參數，更係一種全新嘅行業趨勢。

Have you ever seen the roads in India?
I've seen them online.
The scene is usually like this: a sedan blocked behind a cow, motorcycles running wild nearby, even milk tea vendors nearby, so "clean and hygienic".
However, in a place where many feel physically uncomfortable after watching, Toyota, Suzuki, Honda and other Japanese car companies decided to bet on India.
According to the Indian "Brand Quality Foundation" website, the three car companies will invest nearly $11 billion to build factories, increase capacity, and develop exports in India.
Some netizens commented: Did the three Japanese car companies have too much money?
In fact, they didn't have endless money to spend, nor were they bewildered by Indian curry. These Japanese car executives are much clearer than us.
Current Japanese car revenue and market share are declining. Raw material costs are soaring. Looking at the world map, finding a market that can accommodate capacity, expand share, and has gentle competition is not easy.
So, it wasn't that Japanese car companies chose India, but because they had no choice.
The Pain of Japanese Car Companies
Past Japanese cars were truly the envy of others.
Ask old drivers who drove Japanese cars over ten years ago, talking about Japanese cars, almost no one doesn't give a thumbs up, cheap price, fuel saving, durable...
Even many Japanese cars needed to be bought at a markup, but who would think this iron fortress would be beaten out of sight in a few short years.
With the wave of new energy vehicles coming, electrification and intelligence became the goal for many domestic car companies to "leapfrog". Relying on China's strong new energy vehicle industry chain advantages and car companies' own persistence on R&D and technology, Chinese independent brands quickly achieved "leapfrogging".
Domestic cars once criticized are now becoming more and more common on the roads, even surpassing joint ventures in share.
According to CPCA data, in April 2026, the share of independent brands reached as high as 62.5%, far exceeding Japan's 13.1%.
You need to know, the Chinese car market is the largest car market in the world. Losing speed in the Chinese market is like losing a huge piece of cake.
Meanwhile, the main theme of the Chinese market in recent years is still price wars. Racing on configuration, price, and service has become a normal state, which also had a huge impact on Japanese cars' profits.
Apart from China, Japanese cars are also not doing well in the US.
On January 20, 2025, Trump swore in as the 47th US President, starting a series of chaotic operations, including imposing additional car tariffs in the name of national security, causing the tariff rate for imported Japanese cars to reach as high as 27.5% at one point. Although it decreased later, it was still far higher than the initial tax rate.
This operation directly led to a tariff loss of over 2 trillion yen for seven Japanese car companies in fiscal year 2025.
Looking at Japan itself, it is actually not easy either.
Middle East geopolitical conflicts blocked shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, transportation costs and raw material costs soared, Japanese car companies also had to suffer in silence.
Executives looking at the reports, their backs went cold, only to find a new growth curve.
So, Japanese car companies didn't fall in love with India, there was nowhere else to go.
Deep Thought on Choosing India
So, what magic does India have, to make Japanese car companies invest heavily?
The first advantage is big. In 2025, the Indian car market achieved 5.517 million new car sales, up 6% year-on-year, breaking the historical record, ranking as the third largest car market in the world, exceeding Japan for four consecutive years, second only to China and the United States.
The value of this doesn't need me to say much. India achieved this result mainly because India has been promoting tax reduction policies to promote consumption, which led to a significant increase in domestic consumption willingness.
The second advantage is close, meaning it is close to places where Japanese cars sell well, such as Africa.
So, India for Japanese car companies is more like a convenience store built in the center of a crossroad. You don't need to ship cars to eight countries separately, just build well at this stop in India, then unload ship by ship, and you can save a lot of costs.
The Nikkei also believes that India is expected to become its global car supply center.
The third advantage is stability. You know, Japanese cars' advantage is fuel cars, after all, the three major components of engines, gearboxes, and chassis, they have played for many years, technology accumulation is number one in the world.
But the Chinese car market has fully promoted electrification and intelligence development, leading to Japanese cars' advantage becoming weaker and weaker, impossible to play out. But India is different, it has the characteristics of few charging piles and slow electrification process. Indian old people buying cars still look for cheap, fuel saving, easy to fix, and these three points are exactly Japanese cars' old trade.
Especially Suzuki, always been India's car market evergreen, almost always sitting on the best-selling model throne, reputation of being worry-free, better than any advertisement.
So, Japanese car companies' vigorous layout of the Indian market is obviously carefully considered.
But, is the Indian market really that easy to mix?
The Hard-to-Bite Indian Market
Of course, India is not perfect like a hot commodity, its disadvantages are as obvious as its advantages, and every one is enough for Japanese car companies to face a hard time.
First talk about electrification. Yes, right now India has few charging piles and electric cars don't sell well, it is indeed a shelter for Japanese fuel cars. But you have to think, how long can this "shelter" avoid?
India previously shouted the slogan of 30% of new cars being electric vehicles by 2030. Although it sounds like bragging, but can't help but they really give subsidies, really build charging stations.
Imagine, what if one day India suddenly wakes up, starts vigorously promoting electrification, doing infrastructure, charging piles popping out like mushrooms after rain, then Japanese cars will be dumbfounded?
Isn't this a version of the Thai market?
Back then Japanese cars in Thailand won easily. The entire Southeast Asian market was called Japanese cars' backyard. Result Thailand took the lead in promoting electrification. Chinese electric vehicles came in, directly became a hot commodity. Look at Japanese cars again, share in Thailand falling down rapidly.
If India accelerates electrification, history will likely repeat, and this time, Japanese cars don't even have a place to flee, how to prevent will become the first problem for Japanese car companies.
Next talk about policy. India's policy is like a pot of curry, you never know if you will eat chicken or potato next time.
This magical country, today low tariff encourages building factories, tomorrow may fine you a huge amount. What's more annoying is mandatory joint venture. Foreign car companies want to sell cars in India, have to find local partners to partner up. When your factory is built, supply chain is done, India directly backstabs you. At that time whether adding money or withdrawing capital, what you get is heartache.
So you see, this market like India is like a mango that looks very sweet, bite the first mouth it's okay, chew two more mouths hit the hard core.
Japanese cars now is calculating, while the core hasn't bit the tooth, hurry up to nibble a few more mouths, but the core will bite sooner or later, just don't know which day.
Epilogue
Japanese cars this trip to India, not go for tourism, is go to make a living.
Chinese and Southeast Asian dining tables are more crowded, production and transportation costs have risen. Looking around the world, only this pot in India is still steaming, even if what is boiling inside is curry-flavored stones, have to bite hard and chew down.
Japanese car companies want to expand market, India wants to pull economy, solve employment, both sides have their own thoughts.
As for the ending is Japanese cars in India regain their glory, or like past competitors shamefully walk away, then is not known.
But no matter how, this play just started, we slowly watch is okay.
Anyway India's story, never bored.
BYD officially released the May 2026 production and sales flash report, with new energy vehicles from all brands reaching a monthly sales volume of 383,453 vehicles, a slight increase of 0.26% year-on-year, achieving year-on-year positive growth in monthly sales after ten months; among them, passenger car deliveries reached 376,990 units, surging 19.4% month-on-month, wiping out the pain of previous model iterations, presenting a new pattern where the domestic base is stable, overseas sales are soaring, and high-end brands are scaling up across the board. Amidst the market environment of intensified competition in the domestic new energy sector, Tesla FSD entering China, and an intense launch of independent new products, it has forged a unique structural growth path.
The Dynasty and Ocean main brands combined sold 330,215 vehicles in May, accounting for over 80% of the group's total sales, remaining the stabilizer for BYD's sales volume. The full series had 8 models exceeding 20,000 units in monthly sales, covering products from 50,000 entry-level commuter to 200,000 home SUV.
Inside the Dynasty Network, the Yuan family sold 56,691 units, and the Song family 51,370 units. Both crossed the 50,000 threshold, becoming two major sales pillars for the brand, catering to home commuter and urban-rural travel needs; the Qin family followed closely with a stable performance of 28,360 units. The Han and Tang series maintained a volume in the six-thousand range, deeply cultivating the mid-to-large home sedan and SUV niche markets; the brand new model Xia is in the market cultivation phase, delivering 1,810 units monthly, with potential for steady volume growth as channels expand.
The Ocean Network's growth momentum is even more rapid, with 5 models entering the 20,000 club across the series: Sealion 42,615 units, Seal 34,117 units, Seagull 39,919 units, Dolphin 22,260 units, and Song PLUS 27,755 units. Among them, Seagull remains the best-selling entry-level commuter model thanks to its affordable pricing of 60,000-80,000. Sealion, as a new volume model, stands firm at the 40,000 level upon launch, filling the mid-size SUV product gap in the Ocean Network and perfecting the Ocean product tier layout. From commuter small cars to compact SUVs, the two main brands rely on DM-i hybrid and pure electric dual-line technologies to牢牢锁住 the mainstream home market share within 150,000 domestically.
Fang Cheng Bao Year-on-Year Surges 139.7%, Brand Upward Positioning Takes EffectThe high-end matrix of Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang sold a combined 46,489 vehicles in May, officially breaking away from the niche positioning to become a new pivot for BYD's brand premium and profit growth, breaking the industry curse of difficulty in high-end breakthrough for domestic brands.
The off-road brand Fang Cheng Bao sold 30,186 units monthly, surging 139.7% year-on-year, creating a new high in monthly sales since the brand launched. Its Titanium 7 model sold 18,280 units monthly, while Leopard 5 and Leopard 8 output remained stable, continuously squeezing the survival space for joint venture and imported models in the 250,000-400,000 hardcore off-road niche market.
Denza delivered 16,303 units in May, with the MPV benchmark D9 selling 6,721 units, and the Z9 series close to 6,000 units. MPV and mid-to-large sedan dual-line efforts helped them stand firm in the luxury new energy track; the million-level ultra-luxury brand Yangwang continued its steady climb, delivering 286 units that month, a year-on-year increase of 105.8%, completing market verification of the domestic brand ceiling product and forming a full price range product layout from 100,000+ home, 300,000-400,000 off-road, 500,000 luxury MPV to million-level flagship.
In May, BYD's overseas sales of passenger cars and pickup trucks reached 160,177 units, surging 80.7% year-on-year. Exports accounted for over 42% of the full series total sales, setting a new historical high for brand export and becoming the core driving force to stabilize May overall sales and achieve year-on-year positive growth.
Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America became the main incremental markets. Seagull, Song PLUS, and Yuan series continued to top new energy best-seller lists in multiple countries; the SHARK pickup truck exceeded 4,000 units in monthly exports for two consecutive months. Relying on the completion of localization production in Thailand, Brazil, Hungary, and Uzbekistan with four overseas vehicle factories, localized production continues to land, avoiding tariffs while rapidly penetrating terminal channels. Against the background of stock market competition in the domestic auto industry and normalized price wars, the rapidly expanding overseas market effectively counteracts sales volatility brought by domestic model iterations, officially upgrading from a supplementary market to BYD's core growth engine. As of now, BYD's global cumulative new energy vehicle sales have exceeded 16.5 million units, with the globalization map continuously broadening.
Intelligent Driving Empowers Product Iteration, H2 New Products Prepare to Surge VolumeMay marked a key node in BYD's intelligent driving landing, with the God's Eye intelligent driving system becoming a core bonus point for models: the number of vehicles with advanced intelligent driving across all brands exceeded 3.15 million, with daily road test data exceeding 200 million kilometers; that month, BYD implemented City Pilot and Smart Parking dual safety backup services, becoming the world's first auto manufacturer to achieve dual intelligent driving backups. Three days after policy implementation, the activation rate of models equipped with the God's Eye system in cities surged 50%. Intelligent driving experience upgrades directly drove in-store order conversion, solidifying product competitiveness for subsequent models to continue volume sales, and facing the intelligent driving market shock brought by FSD entering China.
From data details, BYD's cumulative sales from January to May 2026 were 1,405,039 units, down 20.32% year-on-year. The core reason is that the full series of main models were concentratedly iterated, and the capacity ramp-up of the 2nd Gen Fast Charge Blade Battery was restricted. The new Flash Charge Battery upgraded fast charging and low-temperature performance. Full series iteration models prioritized installing new batteries, but production line retrofitting dragged down capacity release. Order backlogs on popular models and delayed deliveries compressed the May delivery volume to a certain extent.
As the end of the second quarter approaches and the 2nd Gen Blade Battery capacity continues to release, coupled with new models such as Denza N8L, Fang Cheng Bao Titanium 7 Pure Electric Version, Sealion 05, and Xia L landing the market, the industry generally predicts that BYD's full brand sales in June are expected to exceed 400,000 vehicles. Relying on the four-dimension development logic of low-end volume locking share, high-end raising profit, overseas pushing volume, and intelligence improving product power, amidst the intensified new energy elimination round in the domestic market, BYD's full category layout advantage continues to amplify, securing its status as the domestic new energy leader, accelerating steadily towards global top auto manufacturers.
