The income shares of the two were 80.27% and 19.68% respectively.

As the construction of BYD's Thai factory continues, BYD will lay out more products in Thailand and other overseas markets in the future.

Generally speaking, BYD's financial report for 2023 is very eye-catching. Whether it is from the perspectives of operating income, net profit, R&D investment, and market expansion, BYD has demonstrated a strong development momentum and broad market prospects. In the future, even if facing the continuous expansion of the new energy vehicle market and the intensification of competition, BYD is expected to maintain its leading position and bring more high-quality new energy vehicle products to global consumers.
