Commercial Vehicle Sales As A Percentage Of The NEV Volume
BYD’s commercial vehicle segment falls under the larger new energy vehicle (NEV) segment. BYD’s NEV segment also encompasses the passenger vehicle segment. The definition of BYD’s commercial vehicle segment is available here: commercial vehicle segment.
BYD’s 57,000 units of commercial vehicle sales in fiscal year 2025 made up only 1.2% of the company’s total NEV volume. This ratio has significantly decreased since fiscal year 2018.
In fiscal year 2018, BYD’s commercial vehicle sales made up 8.3% of the company’s total NEV volume. This ratio decreased to 5.6% in 2020 and 1.7% a year later.
The declining sales contribution of BYD’s commercial vehicle segment highlights the substantial growth of the passenger vehicle segment, which accounted for nearly 100% of the total NEV volume as of 2024.
Bus And Other Commercial Vehicle Sales
BYD’s commercial vehicle sales consist of buses and other commercial vehicles. The definition of BYD’s commercial vehicle segment is available here: commercial vehicle segment.
In fiscal year 2025, BYD sold 5,000 buses and delivered 52,000 other commercial vehicles. The average sales of BYD’s buses were 5,000 units per year between fiscal year 2023 and 2025.
On the other hand, BYD sold 25,000 units of other commercial vehicles per year on average from fiscal year 2022 to 2024.
A key observation is that BYD’s sales of other commercial vehicles have significantly exceeded that of buses in recent periods.
The significant increase suggests a broader diversification of BYD in commercial vehicle lineup and an increased focus on addressing specific market segments.

BYD’s total commercial vehicle sales exhibited robust growth, increasing by 162% in fiscal year 2025 and has averaged 89% since fiscal year 2023. This remarkable recovery followed a sharp decline of 39% two years earlier.
Over the three-year period from 2023 to 2025, the average annual growth rate of BYD’s total commercial vehicle sales reached an impressive 113%.
In terms of bus sales, BYD recorded a 12% decline in fiscal year 2025, reversing a growth of 18% in the prior year. This marks a negative shift following a year of growing bus sales.
However, despite the recent growth in 2024, the average annual growth rate of BYD’s bus sales has remained stagnant since 2021, underscoring the company’s ongoing challenges in expanding this segment.
On the other hand, BYD’s sales of other commercial vehicles have surged dramatically. In fiscal year 2023, sales soared by an extraordinary 447%, following a 71% drop the previous year. This momentum carried into fiscal year 2025, with sales climbing another notable 222%.
Between 2023 and 2025, the average annual growth rate of BYD’s other commercial vehicle sales was an exceptional 269%, reflecting the company’s significant success in this area and highlighting its ability to capture growth opportunities in the broader commercial vehicle market.
Insight
A key takeaway is BYD’s significant shift in the composition of sales: non-bus commercial vehicles now dominate, contributing 74% to total commercial vehicle sales in 2024, compared to just 20% in 2022.
This shift underscores BYD’s ability to capitalize on market opportunities in segments like logistics, construction, and sanitation vehicles, where demand seems to be rising sharply.
It also suggests a strategic pivot or adaptability within the company to expand beyond traditional public transportation solutions, potentially aligning with broader trends in urban electrification and specialized commercial needs
