KATHMANDU: On November 16, the roll-off production line ceremony of BYD's three millionth new energy vehicle (NEV) was held at BYD's global headquarters. It was not only a symbolic milestone for BYD but also an important achievement for the development of new energy vehicles worldwide, as per a media release.

While it took BYD 13 years to achieve the first one million new energy vehicle landmark, just one year later, BYD accomplished the milestone from 'one million to two million new energy vehicles'. Now, just in six months, BYD reached the milestone of 'two million to three million new energy vehicles'.

At the event, Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD, delivered the three millionth new energy vehicle to Wang Shuang, a soccer player who was named Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women's Player of the Year in 2018. Currently, BYD has extended its new energy vehicle footprint to over 400 cities across 70 countries and regions on six continents.
