BYD, which stands for “Build Your Dreams,” is making waves in the automotive world. Founded in China, the company, which started as a battery manufacturer, now challenges giants like Tesla, promising quality electric cars at more affordable prices.

BYD is already present in several countries, including Brazil, and has been standing out for its capacity for innovation and rapid growth. The journey of BYD has not been without obstacles; the company faced accusations of using forced labor and scrutiny over the quality of its vehicles.
