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.

Famous quotes containing the words sales and/or china:
“The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“The roof of England fell
Great Paris tolled her bell
And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
