Dual Milestones! BYD Brazil Plant Rolls Off Its 100,000th New Energy Vehicle, Workforce Surpasses 5,500
Guangdong, China – July 18, 2026 – On local time July 16, BYD's manufacturing base in Brazil marked two important milestones. The plant celebrated the roll-off of its 100,000th new energy vehicle, a BYD Dolphin Mini (Seagull). Meanwhile, the number of on-site employees exceeded 5,500. Synchronized expansion of production capacity and local employment fully demonstrates BYD's global operation philosophy of long-term local development and active social responsibility.
Driven by a long-term localized strategy, BYD Camacari Plant achieves steady and high-quality growth, forming a mature development model that coordinates industrial upgrading, employment empowerment and green development. Li Tie, General Manager of BYD Brasil, stated that the leap-forward development of the Camacari facility is tangible achievement of BYD's in-depth layout strategy across Latin America.
"We are striving to build the Camacari Plant into a modern new energy industrial base for the future. While continuously lifting production capacity and improving the local supply chain system, we create high-quality local jobs, maximize the social value brought by the new energy industry, and facilitate the green transformation of transportation in Brazil."
Edney dos Santos Silva, the 5,500th newly recruited employee, embodies the progress of high-quality local employment. Having witnessed the shutdown of traditional automakers and declining vitality of local industrial parks, Edney has deep insights into industrial transformation. He mentioned that BYD's arrival revitalized regional industries and brought stable opportunities for local residents.
"This is a brand-new starting point of my career. It enables me to shoulder family responsibilities steadily, improve professional capabilities continuously, take root and grow in my hometown and build a shared future. I feel honored to witness Camacari regain industrial vitality and realize its development dreams again."
The achievement of these dual milestones not only proves the efficient construction progress and stable output capacity of BYD Brazil Plant, but also solidifies the enterprise's strategic pace of building a core new energy industrial hub in South America.
Beyond capacity growth, this progress carries profound social significance. Centered on localized manufacturing, BYD keeps recruiting local workforce, cultivating indigenous industrial talents and improving regional supporting supply chains. The momentum of BYD's global development is transformed into lasting driving force for Brazil's industrial upgrading, people's livelihood improvement and low-carbon transition, deepening China-Brazil industrial cooperation and jointly pursuing green win-win outcomes.
