Chinese EV Maker BYD Edges Closer To Ford's Sales Volume After Beating Tesla In Revenue Race
According to a report from Bloomberg, BYD now has the chance to beat Ford in terms of annual sales, thereby cementing its position as a top 10 automaker globally. Ford has been selling nearly 1.1 million vehicles worldwide on average for the past three quarters, the report noted.Chinese EV maker BYD Co Ltd (OTC:BYDDY) is closing in fast on Michigan-based Ford Motor Co's (NYSE:F) global sales despite the former not manufacturing combustion engine vehicles.
中國新能源車製造商比亞迪股份有限公司(場外交易:BYDDY)正迅速追趕總部位於密歇根州的福特汽車公司(紐交所:F)的全球銷量，儘管前者不生產燃油車。
What Happened: BYD has sold over 3.25 million vehicles since the start of this year as of the end of October, marking a growth of about 36% from the corresponding period last year. In October alone, the company sold over half a million vehicles, marking a jump of about 36% from October 2023.
事件經過：截至10月底，比亞迪今年自年初以來已售出超過325萬輛車，同比增長約36%。僅在十月份，該公司就售出了超過50萬輛車，較2023年同期增長約36%。
If BYD's 2024 sales were to increase by 36% through the end of the year, its sales would cross over 4 million. Ford sold just 4.4 million vehicles to dealerships across the world in 2023.
如果比亞迪的2024年銷量通過年底增長36%，其銷量將超過400萬。福特在2023年僅向全球經銷商銷售了440萬輛車。
According to a report from Bloomberg, BYD now has the chance to beat Ford in terms of annual sales, thereby cementing its position as a top 10 automaker globally. Ford has been selling nearly 1.1 million vehicles worldwide on average for the past three quarters, the report noted.
據彭博社報道，比亞迪現在有機會在年度銷量上擊敗福特，從而鞏固其全球前十大汽車製造商的地位。報告指出，福特過去三個季度全球平均銷售量爲近110萬輛車。
Why It Matters: BYD Executive Vice President He Zhiqi said on Weibo earlier this month that the company hired over 200,000 people from August to October for car and components manufacturing and increased production by nearly 200,000 vehicles.
比亞迪執行副總裁何志奇本月早些時候在微博上表示，公司在8月至10月間招聘了超過20萬名從事汽車和元件製造的員工，並將產量增加了近20萬輛車。
According to BYD, the company made over 1.3 million NEVs in the three months from August to October, compared to nearly 900,000 units that it manufactured in the corresponding period of last year.
根據比亞迪的說法，該公司在8月至10月三個月內製造的新能源車超過130萬輛，而去年同期製造的量爲近90萬輛。
For the third quarter between July and September, BYD's operating revenue rose 24% to 201.12 billion yuan ($28.25 billion), the company said in a filing late last month.
比亞迪稱，7月至9月第三季度公司的營業收入增長了24%，達到2011.2億人民幣（282.5億美元），公司上月底提交的文件中提到。
BYD's American rival Tesla Inc. reported a total revenue of only $25.18 billion in the same quarter, making it the first time since 2022 that BYD has trumped Elon Musk's EV giant in quarterly revenue. BYD stopped making combustion engine vehicles in March 2022 to focus on electric vehicles.
比亞迪的美國競爭對手特斯拉公司在同一季度僅實現了251.8億美元的總營業收入，這是自2022年以來比亞迪第一次在季度營業收入上擊敗埃隆·馬斯克的新能源車巨頭。比亞迪於2022年3月停止生產燃油車，專注於新能源車。
Despite reporting higher revenue than Tesla in the third quarter, BYD's net profit continued to trail behind Tesla's net income of $2.167 billion. The company reported a diluted earnings per share of 4 yuan (56 cents) for the quarter, lower than Tesla's adjusted earnings per share of 72 cents.
儘管比特斯拉第三季度收入更高，比亞迪的淨利潤仍然繼續落後於特斯拉的淨利潤爲21.67億美元。該公司報告本季度每股稀釋收益爲4元（56美分），低於特斯拉的調整後每股收益爲72美分。
