Sales Outside China
While the majority of sales are domestic, some models are exported to other developing countries: BYD cars are sold in Bahrain by Fakhro Motors, distributed in the Dominican Republic by Peravia Motors (3,000 cars serve as taxis in the capital, Santo Domingo), and assembled in Russia by the company TagAZ. BYDs are also offered in Ukraine as well as Moldova.
The company has also expressed a desire to enter the European and Israeli markets and hopes to sell vehicles in the United States, too. Its US headquarters is set to be located in Los Angeles, and BYD plans to start selling an electric car, the e6, there in 2012.

And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
