About BYD UAE
BYD, which stands for Build Your Dreams, is a Chinese company that has become one of the world's largest makers of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. In the UAE, its cars are distributed by Al-Futtaim.
BYD began as a battery manufacturer, and its in-house battery technology, including the Blade Battery, is a key advantage. Making its own batteries helps the company control costs and supply.
Its UAE range includes fully electric models such as the Atto 3, Seal and Han, along with plug-in hybrids that combine an electric motor with a petrol engine for longer range.
Plug-in hybrids have been popular with UAE buyers who want lower fuel use but still worry about charging on long drives between emirates.
BYD has grown rapidly worldwide, overtaking many established brands in electric vehicle sales.
The UAE has expanded its charging network, with DEWA, ADNOC and other providers adding public chargers.
BYD is a Chinese company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE presence among the electric vehicle brands in the country.
