BYD has kept its promise to Australian motorists feeling the cost-of-living pinch by delivering over 30,000 new energy vehicles to waiting customers across April, May and June.
The culmination of the brand’s concerted efforts to make good on its commitment resulted in a phenomenal 18,881 BYD fully-electric and super hybrid vehicles delivered in June alone – a feat unlikely to be repeated for some time – bringing the total for the three-month period to 34,794, and the number of deliveries in the first half of 2026 to 52,335.
Almost 1,800 DENZA vehicles from BYD’s luxury and off-road brand were delivered in Q2, for total deliveries of 2,419 since the brand launched in Australia in February of this year.
Chief Operating Officer Stephen Collins thanked customers for supporting the company’s effort.
“We asked our customers to back us in, and they did, and we delivered,” Mr Collins said.
“We thank them for having faith in us to make good on a promise we made in early April, which was to deliver vehicles in record time when orders more than doubled as cost-of-living pressures intensified with skyrocketing fuel prices.”
Mr Collins said the record June delivery number was the result of full factory support with increased production, including a special delivery of almost 5,000 additional BYD and DENZA vehicles on a BYD-owned vessel.
Dealers also went above and beyond, ramping up delivery centers and offering customers the flexibility to take delivery outside of regular business hours, including evenings and weekends.
“The spirit of cooperation from our dealers and appreciation from our customers was great. We even had food vans on selected occasions to make things easier for everyone.”
June’s record month was also the third consecutive month of BYD ranking second amongst the almost 60 brands offering passenger and light commercial vehicles in Australia.
