JAKARTA It has only been more than a year since the Indonesian automotive market, an electric car manufacturer from China, BYD, has shown no kidding steps. To be precise, BYD officially entered the Indonesian market in January 2024. The inauguration at that time was accompanied by the launch of three of their electric car models, namely Atto 3, Dolphin, and Seal.

Although classified as a new player, BYD's work immediately stole the show by presenting a number of other flagship models such as M6, to their latest SUV, Sealion 7. Not only that, but they also launched the Denza premium sub-brand with the D9 mainstay model.

This aggressive move bore fruit. In the 2025 Periclindo Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS) held at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 29, the Operation Director of PT BYD Motor Indonesia, Nathan Sun revealed that the company has posted sales of more than 8,200 units in just the first three months of this year.

"In Indonesia, we recorded sales of 8,200 units, which contributed to the 50 percent market share of national electric vehicles," Nathan said at JIExpo Kemayoran.

This achievement, continued Nathan, cannot be separated from the support of various parties, especially consumers who have given full trust to BYD products.

"This reflects the public's high concern for renewable energy vehicles, as well as trust in BYD as the pioneer of global electric cars," he said.

Not wanting to be complacent, BYD is committed to strengthening its presence in the country. Nathan emphasized that the company will add a line of products that are in accordance with Indonesia's consumer needs, while strengthening its commitment to providing sustainable environmentally friendly mobility solutions.

"We are ready to expand product lines in Indonesia and continue to encourage our global mission to present environmentally friendly vehicles," he concluded.
