Santa Clara, Calif. (3/22/2023) – BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles, announced today that it will extend its use of the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ centralized compute platform in a broader range of its NEVs. The enhanced partnership expands BYD’s use of DRIVE Orin across the multiple models in its next-generation Dynasty and Ocean series of vehicles, bringing safe and intelligent vehicles to market.

“NVIDIA DRIVE Orin has been enormously successful with global mobility leaders that are building the software-defined future,” said Rishi Dhall, vice president of automotive at NVIDIA. “Our ongoing collaboration with BYD is a testament to the industry’s confidence in DRIVE Orin as the centralized computer for today’s and tomorrow’s intelligent vehicles.”

BYD and NVIDIA share the belief that future cars will be programmable, evolving from being based on many embedded controllers to high-performance centralized computers — with functionalities delivered and enhanced through software updates over the life of the car. The compute horsepower from DRIVE Orin is critical for diverse, redundant sensor processing in real time, and provides automakers with the compute headroom to develop and support new software-driven services throughout the entire life of the vehicle.

Since entering production last year, DRIVE Orin – the highest performance automotive-grade processor on the market – has become the transportation industry’s AI engine of choice for the new generation of NEVs, robotaxis, shuttles and trucks. Designed to meet stringent industry safety standards, the scalable DRIVE Orin platform is capable of performing up to 254 trillion operations per second, enabling it to power automated driving functions – simultaneously running numerous deep neural networks to provide the ultimate safety and reliability.

Beyond selecting NVIDIA DRIVE Orin for its EV fleets, BYD announced earlier this year that it is working with NVIDIA to enhance the in-vehicle experience by bringing the NVIDIA GeForce NOW™ cloud gaming service to its vehicles.

With industry-leading technologies such as the Blade Battery, DM-i super hybrid technology and the e-platform, BYD has sold over 3.7 million NEVs globally as of February 2023, while creating a better mobility experience for consumers.

Shenzhen, China – On November 16, the roll-off production line ceremony of BYD’s 3 millionth new energy vehicle was held at BYD’s global headquarters. It was not only a symbolic milestone for BYD but also an important achievement for the development of new energy vehicles worldwide. While it took BYD 13 years to achieve the first one million new energy vehicle landmark, just one year later,  BYD accomplished the milestone from “one million to two million new energy vehicles”. Now, just in 6 months, BYD reached the milestone of ” from two million to three million new energy vehicles”. BYD has showcased a massive “acceleration” in the new energy vehicle industry, facilitating the rapid change of global green mobility. At the ceremony, Mr. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, expressed his sincere gratitude to BYD customers, media friends, industry partners, peers, and employees.
