On August 8, 2024, BYD held a grand launch event for the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i at its Rayong passenger vehicle production base in Thailand, marking the official entry of this highly anticipated plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) into the Thai market. This significant event attracted widespread attention from media outlets and industry professionals, further solidifying BYD's leadership position in the global new energy vehicle (NEV) market.
Mr. Ke Yubin, General Manager of BYD Thailand, stated at the launch, "We are delighted to introduce the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i in Thailand. This vehicle not only incorporates BYD's cutting-edge plug-in hybrid technology but also offers Thai consumers exceptional performance and a superb driving experience. As the demand for NEVs continues to grow in Thailand, BYD is committed to providing consumers with the most advanced green transportation solutions."
As a flagship model in BYD's new energy SUV lineup, the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i has garnered widespread acclaim in the global market for its outstanding performance and innovative technologies. Equipped with BYD's proprietary DM-i Super Hybrid technology, the vehicle seamlessly switches between electric and hybrid modes, achieving ultra-low fuel consumption while delivering a more comfortable driving experience, offering users a more environmentally friendly and economical travel option.
The Rayong passenger vehicle production base in Thailand, where the launch event was held, is a vital component of BYD's globalization strategy. BYD has always attached great importance to its cooperation with Thailand, and since entering the Thai market, its NEVs have quickly gained the favor of Thai consumers. Today, one out of every three pure electric vehicles sold in Thailand is a BYD model, reflecting not only the high recognition of BYD products among Thai consumers but also our strong market competitiveness.
At the launch, BYD showcased several core technologies of the SEALION 6 DM-i, including Blade Battery technology, the e-platform 3.0, and DM-i Super Hybrid technology. These technologies not only enhance the vehicle's safety and range but also provide users with a more intelligent and convenient driving experience.
Looking ahead, BYD will continue to increase its investment in the Thai market, introduce more innovative products, and deliver better travel experiences to Thai consumers through continuous technological innovation and high-quality services. We firmly believe that with the joint efforts of BYD and all sectors in Thailand, the NEV industry will usher in an even brighter future.
