BYD February Vehicle Sales Plunge 41% on Waning Domestic Demand

(Bloomberg) -- BYD Co. reported a 41% drop in vehicle sales for February from a year earlier, after a record-long Lunar New Year holiday brought production and retail activity in China to a near standstill for much of the month. The world’s largest electric-car maker sold 190,190 vehicles last month, including both plug-in hybrids and pure-battery models, it said in a statement Sunday.

Key Highlights

  • That included 187,782 passenger vehicles, which represent the bulk of the Chinese company’s volume.
  • Sales for February dropped 9.5% from the previous month.
  • Exports of new energy vehicle reached 100,600 units.
  • Sales for the first two months of the year fell 36% to 400,241 units, with BYD’s domestic performance sputtering amid a tapering of recent stimulus policies and intensified competition.
  • Because the Lunar New Year holiday timing shifts annually and creates significant volatility in monthly production and demand, combining January and February allows for a clearer comparison against the year-earlier period.
