BYD Unveils the World’s First Super Hybrid with Biofuel Compatibility — A Game-Changer for Sustainable Mobility
BYD has done it again. The global leader in new-energy vehicles has just revealed a world-first: a Super Hybrid capable of running on biofuel. Unveiled in Brazil, this groundbreaking tech marks a new chapter in BYD’s mission to redefine sustainable driving.
A Hybrid Revolution Tailor-Made for Brazil
At the heart of the innovation is the BYD SONG PRO COP30, a special edition model that’s the first to feature BYD’s upgraded DM-i (Dual Mode Intelligent) hybrid system—now capable of using any ratio of petrol and ethanol, Brazil’s go-to green fuel.
The best part? Even in hybrid mode, the car behaves more like an EV than a traditional petrol model, with the combustion engine primarily acting as a generator to keep the battery charged. Smart, efficient, and perfectly suited to everyday life.
14 Million Milestone & a Symbol of Climate Commitment
This isn’t just a tech flex—it’s a global statement. The SONG PRO COP30 rolled off BYD’s Camaçari factory production line as the company’s 14 millionth new-energy vehicle.
To celebrate the achievement and underline its climate commitment, 30 units are being donated to COP30, the upcoming United Nations Climate Summit in Brazil.
BYD’s founder and CEO, Wang Chuanfu, said it best:
“This is not just a technological breakthrough – it’s a green and sustainable solution tailor-made for Brazil.”
Built in Brazil, Built for the Future
BYD’s new Brazilian factory, its largest outside Asia—is already the biggest EV production facility in Latin America. Built in just 15 months, it’s capable of producing 150,000 vehicles per year, with plans to ramp up to 600,000 units annually.
The site is more than a factory—it’s a symbol of local innovation, job creation, and sustainable growth, employing over 1,500 people and helping to cement Brazil as a global hub for clean mobility.
Why It Matters
BYD isn’t just chasing numbers—it’s changing the game. By fusing biofuel capability with plug-in hybrid technology, the brand is proving that electrification can adapt to local markets and energy realities.
As Tyler Li, CEO of BYD Brazil, puts it:
“Incorporating ethanol into our DM-i architecture represents a historic advance… It’s a crucial step toward consolidating Brazil as a global leader in sustainable mobility.”
The Bigger Picture
From the SEAL U DM-i to the SEAL 6, BYD’s expanding hybrid lineup is redefining what drivers can expect from electrified vehicles. With each launch, the brand continues to blend efficiency, innovation, and environmental consciousness—qualities that are rapidly making BYD one of the most exciting names in global motoring.
