BYD was the world’s sixth-largest car manufacturer last year, but it wants more. Not satisfied with simply building more cars than Ford, BYD wants to become the world’s largest car manufacturer, outselling the Volkswagen Group and Toyota.

 

The company’s chairman, Wang Chuanfu, said that the brand wants to become the world’s largest car manufacturer within just five years. He made the revelation during the brand’s annual shareholder meeting in Shenzhen, stating that the firm’s new second-generation Blade Battery will be key to the firm’s expansion.
