BYD Meluaskan Jangkauan Global Dengan Armada Lapan Pengangkut Kereta

BYD kini telah melengkapkan pembinaan kapal pengangkut kenderaan miliknya sendiri. Kapal terakhir, dinamakan BYD Jinan, mula beroperasi minggu lalu. Dengan armada ini, BYD mampu menghantar lebih daripada sejuta kereta melalui laluan laut setiap tahun.

Pencapaian ini berlaku dalam tempoh yang singkat. Kapal pertama hanya tiba pada Januari 2024, namun dalam masa kurang daripada dua tahun, BYD telah memiliki lapan kapal besar. Setiap kapal mampu membawa antara 7,200 hingga 9,000 kereta. Armada ini terdiri daripada kapal Explorer No.1, Hefei, Changzhou, Shenzhen, Xi’an, Changsha, Zhengzhou dan Jinan.

Kapal-kapal tersebut kini sibuk menghantar kereta ke serata dunia. Sebagai contoh, BYD Hefei telah selesai memunggah kereta di Eropah, Xi’an dalam perjalanan ke Barcelona, manakala Shenzhen dan Changsha belayar dari China ke Eropah. Kapal Zhengzhou pula mencatat sejarah apabila membawa kenderaan dari kilang baharu BYD di Thailand ke United Kingdom dan Belgium. Kenderaan dari Thailand lebih mudah dipasarkan di Eropah kerana tidak dikenakan cukai tambahan yang biasanya terpakai untuk kereta elektrik buatan China.

BYD Expands Global Reach With Fleet of Eight Car Carriers

BYD has now completed its very own shipping fleet, marking another major step in its global expansion. The eighth and final vessel, the BYD Jinan, officially went into service last week, giving the Shenzhen-based automaker an annual transport capacity of more than one million cars.

What’s remarkable is how quickly the fleet came together. The first ship, BYD Explorer No.1, was only delivered in January 2024. In under two years, the company has built up a full fleet of roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) car carriers, each designed to handle between 7,200 and 9,000 vehicles depending on size.

The line-up now consists of BYD Explorer No.1, Hefei, Changzhou, Shenzhen, Xi’an, Changsha, Zhengzhou and the newly launched Jinan. While Jinan is just starting operations, the other ships are already moving cars across the globe. For instance, BYD Hefei is currently unloading in Europe before heading back to China, Xi’an is due in Barcelona this week, while Shenzhen and Changsha are en route from China to Europe.

Malaysia sekali lagi menjadi tumpuan dunia automotif apabila dipilih sebagai lokasi pertama pelancaran global BYD SEAL 6 EV. Model baharu ini secara rasmi diperkenalkan oleh BYD Sime Motors, sekali gus menandakan kepentingan pasaran tempatan dalam strategi global pengeluar EV dari China itu.

BYD SEAL 6 EV Makes Global Debut in Malaysia – Pricing Starts from RM100,000!

Malaysia has been chosen as the stage for the world’s first reveal of the BYD SEAL 6 EV, with BYD Sime Motors officially pulling the covers off the new model today. The launch not only introduces a fresh contender in the C-segment sedan market but also highlights Malaysia’s growing importance in BYD’s global strategy.

The SEAL 6 EV arrives as the seventh model in BYD’s local line-up, sitting alongside popular choices like the Dolphin and Atto 3. Unlike its stablemates, the SEAL 6 EV is pitched as a more premium and dynamic sedan, aiming to combine modern design, advanced electric technology and day-to-day usability in a package that should appeal to a wide audience.

In Malaysia, the SEAL 6 is being promoted under the tagline “Precision. Passion. Aligned.” This reflects BYD’s intention to blend performance with refinement.

Two variants will be available locally — Dynamic and Premium. The Premium gets an opening panoramic sunroof with a powered shade, 18-inch wheels on 225/50 Westlake tyres, and a full-width LED strip up front. The Dynamic skips the sunroof, runs on smaller 17-inch alloys with 225/55 tyres, and loses the LED strip.

For the first time, a BYD sedan is fitted with an all-new advanced suspension system featuring a dual ball-joint MacPherson strut at the front and a rear multi-link setup. Together with a rear-wheel drive configuration — rare in this segment — the car promises a sportier, more balanced feel, with improved weight distribution and a turning radius of just 5.5 metres.

The electric motor in the Premium variant delivers 214hp and 330Nm of torque, allowing the sedan to sprint from 0-100km/h in 7.5 seconds. Three driving modes are available, catering for both relaxed and spirited driving. The Dynamic variant produces 127hp and 220Nm of torque. The SEAL 6 features a 56.64 kWh BYD Blade Battery, which boasts an NEDC driving range of 485km.

The battery supports DC fast charging at up to 100 kW, allowing it to go from 30% to 80% in just 23 minutes. For slower charging, the onboard Type 2 AC system tops out at 6.67 kW. On top of that, it also comes with vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, delivering up to 3.7 kW to power external devices.

At the same time, the SEAL 6 retains a strong emphasis on practicality, offering 24 storage compartments throughout the cabin and a combined cargo capacity of 525 litres.

Inside, the car is designed to rekindle the joy of driving, pairing a quiet cabin with premium comfort features and seamless connectivity. The model is also the largest in its class among C-segment sedans sold in Malaysia, which should translate into generous passenger space.

It has a 12.8-inch intelligent touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8.8-inch digital instrument panel, synthetic leather seats and a wireless phone charger.

Standard safety features include Stop and Go full speed adaptive cruise control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Intelligent High Beam Control.

Colour choices include Arctic White, Harbour Grey and Misty Blue. The interior comes in a black and grey combination. Pricing starts from RM100,000 for the Dynamic variant and RM115,800 for the Premium.

For early adopters, the first 800 customers will enjoy benefits worth up to RM6,288, depending on the chosen variant and housing type. These include complimentary wall chargers, rebates, or even a 12-month doorstep charging programme tailored for high-rise residents.

All buyers will also receive a V2L adapter, a Type 2 charging cable and a comprehensive warranty package — six years or 150,000 km for the vehicle, plus eight years or 160,000 km coverage for both the drive unit and the Blade battery.

BYD Sime Motors has been expanding rapidly in Malaysia. The brand already operates 37 outlets nationwide and is targeting 50 by the end of 2026. Since its entry into the market, over 20,000 units have been sold, underlining strong customer confidence and growing interest in EVs. With the launch of the SEAL 6 EV, the company expects this momentum to continue.

Bookings for the BYD SEAL 6 EV are now open across BYD showrooms in Malaysia.

BYD YANGWANG U9X Jadi Kereta Paling Laju di Dunia – 496.22km/j

Jenama mewah BYD, YANGWANG, mencatat sejarah baharu apabila model kereta hiper, U9 Xtreme (U9X), berjaya memecahkan rekod dunia kelajuan. Pada 14 September 2025, kereta elektrik berprestasi tinggi itu mencecah 496.22km/j di litar ujian Papenburg, Jerman. Rekod ini bukan sahaja menewaskan semua kereta elektrik terdahulu, malah mengatasi kereta berenjin petrol terpantas, menjadikan U9X sebagai kereta produksi paling laju di dunia.

Pada awalnya, U9X dibangunkan sebagai versi khas untuk litar perlumbaan sahaja, sebelum dikembangkan menjadi model sah digunakan di jalan raya. Ia dilengkapi dengan peningkatan besar termasuk sistem 1200V, Blade Battery berteknologi tinggi, serta empat motor elektrik yang mampu berputar sehingga 30,000rpm.

Gabungan ini menghasilkan kuasa melebihi 3,000PS, memberikan pecutan luar biasa. Untuk menampung kelajuan ekstrem, U9X menggunakan tayar khas dan sistem suspensi yang diubahsuai sepenuhnya.

YANGWANG U9X Becomes the World’s Fastest Production Car at 496km/h

BYD’s luxury sub-brand, YANGWANG, has officially rewritten the record books after its latest hypercar, the U9 Xtreme, clocked a staggering 496.22km/h at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg circuit in Germany. The run, which took place on 14 September 2025, not only smashed the previous EV record but also overtook the fastest petrol-powered car on record, making it the quickest production vehicle in the world.

The U9 Xtreme, or U9X as it is now officially called, began life as the U9 Track/Special Edition before being refined into a road-going production model. It builds on the foundations of the regular U9 already sold in China, but with significant upgrades that push the limits of what an electric hypercar can do.

Among the highlights is a new 1200V ultra-high-voltage system (up from the U9’s 800V setup), a lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery capable of delivering an extraordinary 30C discharge rate, and four ultra-high-speed motors that spin up to 30,000rpm, generating more than 3,000PS in total. The package is completed with track-focused semi-slick tyres and a recalibrated DiSus-X suspension system, tuned specifically for the brutal forces of high-speed circuit driving.

BYD Uses Thai Hub to Sidestep EU Tariffs

China’s BYD has marked another milestone in its global expansion, with the first shipment of Thai-assembled Dolphin electric vehicles bound for Europe. Over 900 units have been dispatched to Germany, Belgium and the United Kingdom, signalling a new chapter in the company’s international strategy.

The consignment set sail aboard BYD’s own carrier vessel, the BYD Zhengzhou, which for the first time has operated a route from Thailand to Europe. The vehicles were produced at the company’s Rayong plant, a facility that went into operation in July 2024 and stands as BYD’s first wholly owned passenger car manufacturing site outside of China.

Built with an annual capacity of 150,000 vehicles, the Rayong factory serves both the domestic Thai market and export destinations. Within just a year of starting operations, the plant had already achieved 90,000 deliveries by July this year, underscoring its role as a crucial hub for BYD’s regional and global supply network.

BYD Yangwang U9 Jadi Kereta Elektrik Paling Laju di Dunia

BYD sekali lagi mencipta sejarah apabila prototaip Yangwang U9 berjaya mencatatkan kelajuan tertinggi 472.41 km/j, menjadikannya kereta elektrik terpantas di dunia.

Pencapaian ini bukan sahaja menobatkan U9 sebagai kereta paling laju di China, malah meletakkannya setaraf dengan beberapa hypercar terkenal dunia. Rekod terbaharu ini hadir hanya beberapa bulan selepas U9 mencatat 391.94 km/j pada November lalu, bermakna terdapat peningkatan prestasi hampir 20%.

Dengan kelajuan baharu itu, U9 kini hampir menyamai hypercar berkuasa petrol seperti Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (531 km/j), Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ (490 km/j) dan SSC Tuatara (474.8 km/j). Hakikat bahawa sebuah kereta elektrik mampu mendekati kelajuan mesin-mesin legenda ini jelas membuktikan sejauh mana teknologi EV telah berkembang.

Yangwang U9 Breaks Global EV Speed Record With 472.41km/h Run

BYD has once again pushed the boundaries of electric performance, with its Yangwang U9 engineering prototype clocking an astonishing 472.41km/h, setting a new world record for an electric vehicle.

The achievement not only cements the U9 as China’s fastest car but also elevates it into the exclusive realm of the world’s top hypercars. This latest milestone follows its earlier success last November, when the U9 became the fastest car in China by registering 391.94km/h during a speed trial. The new figure represents a staggering 20.53% leap in performance.

At its peak velocity, the Yangwang U9 is now just a breath away from the world’s most celebrated combustion-engine hypercars. To put it into perspective, the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has a maximum speed of 531km/h, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ touches 490km/h, and the SSC Tuatara is recognised at 474.8km/h. The U9, an electric contender, is edging dangerously close to these long-revered giants of speed.
