BYD Asia Pacific Head of Training Jacob Ma said BYD started as a battery company founded on a leased building with 20 employees. Initially the company worked to develop batteries.
“From the start, BYD was not only focused on China, but also expanded to international markets. Three years later we were able to establish a branch in Europe at the end of 1998,” said Head of Training BYD Asia Pacific Jacob Ma at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS ) 2024, JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta.
Then in 2000, BYD batteries became the energy source for Motorola cellphones. Two years later, BYD became China’s first supplier of lithium-ion batteries for Nokia products.
2003 was an important milestone for BYD to enter the automotive industry. In order to be able to make electric cars, BYD learned from building internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. BYD acquired a company called Qinchuan Automobile Company.
