BYD now surpasses Ford in Europe: the historic shift that confirms China's advance
Translated title. Original: BYD ya supera a Ford en Europa: el histórico cambio que confirma el avance de China
BYD outs Ford in European vehicle registrations for the first nine months of 2026, widening its lead as Chinese brands gain share in Europe. Ford cuts its European lineup and teams with Renault on two new EVs, while other Chinese groups like Geely, SAIC, and Chery increase presence, collectively reaching about 11% of European registrations; the shift pressures traditional European manufacturers to respond quickly.
