Among them, BYD's new flagship model, 'Han,' has gotten very popular in the domestic high-end new energy vehicle market, with rising sales and orders. The model has acted as a catalyst for the company's new energy passenger vehicle business.

In September, the sales of Han reached 5,612, a 40.3% increase from the previous month, and the sales of the new Tang DM models exceeded 3,000, a 99% increase compared with last month.
Also, BYD's electronic mobile phone components and assembly business segment have played their parts in the rising profits. The company said that the share of significant customers has continued to increase. It has successfully made contracts with new global leading manufacturers of mobile phones and other smart products. The shipments of glass ceramics and new intelligent products have swelled, which has promoted the further expansion of business scale.
