The Chinese carmaker, now the world’s largest new-energy vehicle (NEV) producer, is on track to export 2m units this year, but said in a recent conference call with stock analysts that insufficient car-carriers were limiting export growth. The call, held shortly after releasing BYD’s H1 26 results, disclosed that BYD expects monthly ...
