BYD Indonesia hosted its "Beyond Family Celebration" at GIIAS 2026 in Tangerang, marking significant milestones for its electric vehicles. The event celebrated two years of the BYD M6 and one year of the BYD Atto 1 in Indonesia. This gathering also served as the official launch of a specialized application for the BYD Beyond Community, the largest user group for the brand in the country.
Nathasya Natalia, Public Relations Manager for BYD Indonesia, announced that the company has sold over 92,000 units since its launch in 2024, making it the first EV manufacturer in Indonesia to reach such a sales volume. She credited this achievement to the growing community of users who are part of the energy transition through new energy vehicles. The new app for the Beyond Community aims to enhance user experience, featuring an SOS function that can broadcast emergency situations to nearby community members.
The celebration included traditional Indonesian elements, such as a "tumpeng" cutting ceremony, symbolizing gratitude for the M6 and Atto 1's journey. Beyond the product anniversaries, the event underscored the organic growth of the customer community, which has become a vital partner for BYD. This community actively shares user experiences, helps resolve issues, and promotes new energy vehicle technology to the Indonesian public.
The Beyond Community itself originated from individuals who pre-ordered BYD vehicles before delivery. Initial communication among these prospective owners evolved into a more intensive group, eventually forming the community in August 2024. This organic development highlights the strong bond and shared enthusiasm among BYD owners in Indonesia, fostering a collaborative environment for the brand's expansion.
Today, BYD has sold over 92,000 units since its launch in 2024. This is an achievement for you, the first EV maker to reach such a scale. We also see the growth in the number of members who are part of the energy transition, especially through the use of new energy vehicles.
