BYD’s first-half profits surge despite price war in Chinese car market
比亚迪上半年净利润大增205%
Warren Buffett-backed group cements its dominance of domestic electric vehicle sector
中国市场上的激烈价格战重创了许多外国车企和初创公司，比亚迪却继续巩固其在电动汽车市场的主导地位。
BYD has reported a more than 200 per cent jump in first-half earnings as Tesla’s main Chinese rival shrugged off an intense price war that has battered foreign groups and smaller start-ups in the world’s biggest car market.
比亚迪(BYD)公布上半年净利润增长逾200%，世界最大汽车市场上正在上演的激烈价格战重创了许多外国车企和规模较小的初创公司，而作为特斯拉(Tesla)头号中国竞争对手的比亚迪却没受多大影响。
BYD said on Monday that net income rose 205 per cent to Rmb10.95bn ($1.5bn) in the six months to the end of June as the Warren Buffett-backed group cemented its dominance over the market for plug-in hybrid and battery-powered electric vehicles in China. Revenue was up 73 per cent to Rmb260.1bn.
比亚迪周一表示，在截至今年6月底为止的6个月内，净利润增长205%，至109.5亿元人民币（合15亿美元）。这家得到沃伦•巴菲特(Warren Buffett)投资的集团巩固了其在中国插电混合动力汽车和纯电动汽车市场的主导地位。营收增长73%，至2601亿元人民币。
The result, which was published after markets closed in China on Monday, follows a 400 per cent jump in annual net profit in 2022. It comes despite a price war that has squeezed both smaller companies and larger auto groups in China. And it signals the latest warning to automakers around the world as BYD sharpens its focus on exporting its low-cost EVs to foreign markets.
该公司是在周一中国股市收盘后发布财报的。比亚迪在2022年全年净利润就已经大幅增长了400%。尽管中国汽车市场打起了价格战，大大小小的汽车企业都受到了冲击，比亚迪却保持业绩的高增长。随着比亚迪更多地把重心放在向海外市场出口其低成本电动汽车上，该公司也向世界各地的汽车制造商发出了最新警告信号。
