Exports save BYD: profits grow 30% despite crisis in Chinese market

CNN Portugal31 August 2026 at 06:04

Exports saved BYD's results in the third quarter, allowing the Chinese electric vehicle company to record 30% profit growth despite the crisis in the Chinese domestic market. This positive performance contrasts with the difficulties faced by other automakers in the domestic market.

Foreign sales were the main driver of this success, growing 33.9% to the equivalent of 26,947 million dollars, representing about 23,248 million euros. This value demonstrates the growing importance of international markets for BYD's strategy.

The company thus managed to offset the decline in sales in the Chinese market, where the automotive sector faces strong competition and price pressures. International expansion allowed BYD to maintain a sustained growth trajectory.

This result positions BYD as one of the global leaders in the electric vehicle sector, showing that its geographic diversification strategy is paying off at a time of difficulties in China's domestic market.

15 million euro works at Alvor-Bravura could allow 60% water savings

The Minister of Agriculture and the Sea, José Manuel Fernandes, visited on 28 August the modernization works of the Alvor Hydro-Agricultural Development, in the Alvor-Bravura Irrigation Perimeter, in the Algarve. With an investment of approximately 15 million euros secured by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), this is considered the largest irrigation modernization project currently underway in the Algarve region. The project aims to reduce water losses in the distribution system, potentially allowing savings of approximately 60% of water used, equivalent to approximately 19 million cubic meters per year and annual savings close to two million euros. The intervention includes the construction of a new reservoir, pumping station and filtration station, as well as the modernization of channels and the installation of photovoltaic panels for energy efficiency. A second phase estimated at 40 million euros is also planned.
