CHINESE automaker byd sold a record number of electric vehicles and hybrids globally last year, reports London's Financial Times.

BYD sold 1.76 million pure EVs last year, but not enough to oust Tesla as the world's biggest-selling EV maker. The US company, run by Elon Musk, said on Thursday that it delivered 1.79 million cars last year.
Li Auto, China's first profitable EV start-up, Stellantis-backed Leapmotor and smartphone maker Xiaomi also surpassed their targets, selling 500,000, 290,000 and 135,000 EVs respectively during 2024.
