BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand Targets Taxis and Ride-Hailing Fleets

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology confirmed that BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand has been officially registered as a new automobile marque under BYD. The new identity introduces a separate logo and positioning while continuing to use proven vehicle platforms from BYD’s Dynasty and Ocean lineups for faster commercial deployment.
BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand is built around facelifted and updated versions of existing BYD vehicles, including models derived from the Xia, Han DM-i, Qin Plus EV, and Seal 06 EV. These vehicles are aimed at high-utilization commercial fleets that require durability, predictable running costs, and long-term reliability.
BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand Launches Four Core Models
The first batch of vehicles submitted for regulatory approval under the BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand includes three battery electric sedans and one plug-in hybrid MPV. All models use lithium-iron-phosphate battery chemistry, selected for safety, durability, and lower lifecycle costs in fleet operations.

How BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand Fits BYD’s Fleet Strategy
The BYD Linghui B2B EV Brand is designed exclusively for business-to-business mobility segments such as:

• Ride-hailing platforms

• Taxi operators

• Corporate and rental fleets

These vehicles will be sold through an independent distribution and service network, separate from BYD’s consumer-focused channels. The brand consolidates BYD’s former B2B new-energy vehicle lineup into a single, clearly defined commercial platform.
By separating fleet-focused products from retail models, BYD aims to protect its premium passenger-vehicle positioning while still scaling volume in high-demand commercial mobility markets. This dual-brand approach allows BYD to optimize pricing, specifications, and sales strategies for both private buyers and professional fleet operators.
