BYD harnesses reform energy for global rewards

Chinese electric carmaker BYD Co Ltd's resounding success in the international arena is perhaps one of the best examples of the nation's reform and opening-up in the last 40 years.

The Shenzhen-based company has been the global leader in new energy vehicle sales for the past three years and has maintained that record during the first six months of this year also.

In the 23 years since its launch in 1995, BYD has transformed from a battery maker with just 20 employees into a global company with 220,000 employees, having over 30 industrial parks in six continents.
