BYD's commercial vehicle sales totaled 7,043 units in October 2026, a 68.3% rise from 4,850 units in October 2025 and a 2.8% increase from September 2026. Bus sales reached 600 units, up 62.1% year over year but down 24.1% from September.
Why it matters
The figures show continued growth in BYD's commercial vehicle business, with 55,489 units sold so far in 2026. The month-over-month split between buses and non-bus vehicles shows the segments are moving in different directions.
Non-bus commercial vehicle sales reached 6,443 units in October 2026, up 69.1% from 4,483 units a year earlier and 6.4% from September. Bus sales fell month over month, while total 2026 year-to-date commercial sales stand at 55,489 units.

Roadmap
BYD's October sales add to 55,489 commercial vehicles sold in 2026 so far, extending a year of growth in its truck and bus lines. The monthly figures show that growth is uneven across segments, with non-bus vehicles rising while buses fell from September.
Fleet buyers evaluating commercial vehicles can see BYD's bus and non-bus volumes growing year over year, which may affect availability in the segments they purchase from. The month-over-month bus decline is a reminder that monthly supply can fluctuate.
The takeaway
Monthly sales can swing sharply within a single segment even when the overall trend is rising, so fleet planners should look at category-level figures rather than totals alone. Tracking both year-over-year and month-over-month changes gives a fuller picture of BYD's commercial business.
