BYD UZBEKISTAN FACTORY

What BYD UZBEKISTAN FACTORY does

BYD Uzbekistan Factory is a joint venture between Chinese automaker BYD Company Ltd. (HKEX: 1211.HK; SZSE: 002594) and Uzbekistan's state-owned O'zAvtosanoat (UzAuto), established in December 2022 and operational since mid-2024. Located in Jizzakh, it is BYD's first overseas new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturing joint venture, with an initial annual production capacity of 50,000 units producing the BYD SONG PLUS DM-i Champion (C-segment PHEV SUV) and BYD CHAZOR Champion (PHEV sedan) for the Central Asian market. The entity also imports and distributes a broader BYD lineup — including the SEAGULL, e2, YUAN UP/BEV, YUAN UP DM-i, SEAL 6, SEALION 7, and ATTO 8 — through a network of 27+ authorized dealers across 13 Uzbek cities (Tashkent, Andijan, Urgench, Bukhara, Samarkand, Namangan, Karshi, Fergana, Kokand, Jizzakh, Navoiy, Nukus).

The technical stack relies on BYD's proprietary NEV platform: the Blade Battery (LFP chemistry, nail-penetration safe, 5,000+ cycles), Super DM plug-in hybrid drivetrain (up to 43.04% thermal efficiency, 3.4 L/100km fuel consumption), e-Platform 3.0 (eight-in-one integrated electric drivetrain), CTB (Cell-to-Body) battery integration, SiC MOSFET power electronics, and the DiPilot ADAS suite. The SONG PLUS DM-i UzPride adds a market-specific differentiator: the world's first fully offline-capable Uzbek-language in-vehicle voice assistant, developed by a local R&D team on 1.5 million audio samples and bundled with a UZTELECOM 10 GB/month data plan.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of BEVs and PHEVs (208M to 621M som range), supplemented by third-party automotive financing (interest rates from 11.9% to 21.9% APR), warranty/aftersales service, and spare-parts sales. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer channels (bydauto.uz pre-order, 27+ branded showrooms, test drives, the BYD e-Mobility Festa and VILLEXPO mobile exhibitions) with enterprise/government fleet motion through the 'Green Transport Initiative' partnership signed with the Republic of Uzbekistan in June 2024. Customers are primarily individual retail buyers (15,000+ NEVs delivered since March 2023), with secondary segments in corporate fleets and government/public-sector procurement. The website bydauto.uz is operated by BYD Europe B.V. (Netherlands).

Revenue model

1. New Energy Vehicle Sales (BEV and PHEV): BYD generates revenue primarily through the sale of complete New Energy Vehicles — both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). The Uzbekistan operation manufactures locally (at Jizzakh factory) and imports fully built vehicles. Revenue is one-time per transaction, with financing options (installment payments) enabling customer acquisition.
2. Automotive Financing / Credit Programs: BYD Central Asia offers vehicle financing through third-party banks/lenders. Customers can access credit with interest rates starting from 11.9% annual (for 50% down payment, 60-month term). Financing facilitates higher transaction values and broader customer reach.
3. Aftersales Service and Parts: Authorized dealers provide warranty services, maintenance, and spare parts sales. Service packages and discounted maintenance programs (e.g., free filter replacements for loyalty customers) generate recurring service revenue.
