BYD Says It Can’t Judge How Many Cars It Will Sell This Year

What’s new: Chinese automaker BYD Co. Ltd. has remained tight-lipped about this year’s sales outlook — citing pandemic challenges — even as it claimed the crown of China’s largest seller of new-energy passenger vehicles (NEVs) for 2022.

BYD “cannot make a judgment” on this year’s projected sales owing to supply chain and consumer demand uncertainties stemming from the rapidly changing Covid environment, a company representative told Caixin on Wednesday.
