This includes four-wheelers from 29 brands and two-wheelers from 18 brands, with their inventions and models on display. Coordinator Sarda stated that more than 20 brands of cars were launched today. He informed that some other brands could not be launched because their vehicles were stuck at the Tatopani customs due to problems. He said, 'The first day of the expo is the inauguration session. There has been an enthusiastic participation in the inauguration session. This is expected to add more enthusiasm in the coming days. The expo will make the auto sector more dynamic, and customers will be able to see and order cars with the models and features they want.'

BYD has further expanded its popular Ato series by launching the facelift versions of Ato 1 and Ato 3, along with the new Ato 2. Japanese automobile giant Nissan has launched its new SUV, the Tecton model. This car, brought by Pioneer MotoCorp, is gaining attention due to its modern design and large body. Priced at 6.121 million rupees, this car is expected to give tough competition in the SUV segment. Similarly, Chinese company Chery has entered the Nepali market with its new brand Q3. Designed for modern urban lifestyles, this EV has a 41.2 kWh battery, which the company claims can provide a range of up to 400 kilometers on a single full charge. Its starting price is 3.011 million rupees. Amidst the wave of electric vehicles, hybrid technology has also been given special priority. Toyota has launched hybrid versions of its two popular models, Hilux and RAV4. The price of Hilux is 15.5 million rupees, and the price of RAV4 is 21.3 million rupees. Chinese brand BAIC has also brought its hybrid SUV BJ30 to the Nepali market. Its price is 11.196 million rupees.

Crowds of Visitors for Brands with Old Heritage On the first day of the expo, there was a larger crowd of visitors for brands with old heritage compared to other new brands of vehicles. Brands established as old brands in Nepal, such as Toyota, BYD, MG, Hyundai, and Omada, saw a large number of visitors. The crowd of visitors was also seen around these brands because they have slightly larger models compared to other brands. Policy Stability and Business Demands During the inauguration of the expo, NAIMA President Ritu Singh Vaidya urged the government not to view the auto business as a luxury item. She said, 'The Mobility Expo is not just a place to buy and sell vehicles; it is a platform that brings the entire mobility ecosystem together. The state must address this sector, which contributes significantly to the country's economy, through clear and stable policies.' She emphasized that frequently changing government policies create uncertainty among investors and businesses, and therefore, private sector and stakeholders must be consulted before any policy changes. President Singh stated that Ratopati must move towards electric vehicles and a green economy by making better use of clean energy and should encourage automobile auxiliary industries to increase local value addition. The expo is not limited to vehicle exhibitions; the organizers have also arranged learning sessions to discuss road safety, battery management for electric vehicles, and new technologies with stakeholders and experts. These sessions are organized to inform general consumers and students about the direction of the automobile sector and its challenges. This auto expo, organized just before the festive season, offers customers an excellent opportunity to choose new cars. Attractive discounts, cashbacks, and gift schemes have also been announced for customers who book vehicles during the exhibition period. Additionally, stalls from various insurance companies and banks can be seen at the expo. Banks and financial institutions participating in the expo have arranged for 40 percent down payment and 60 percent financing. With attractive interest rates and convenient installment plans for most EVs, customers are attracted to new technology vehicles. Hongsi and Arcfox Brands Could Not Arrive Due to Road Obstruction The stalls of Hongsi and Arcfox brands, which were preparing to participate in the expo, appeared empty as the vehicles could not reach the expo venue due to road blockages. The organizers stated that the vehicles of Hongsi and Arcfox brands, which were being prepared for display at the expo, could not be brought due to road blockages. According to the organizers, the Hongsi brand vehicle was being prepared by Vishal Group, and the Arcfox brand was being prepared by Laxmi Group. The organizers reported that the vehicles planned to be brought to NAIMA were stuck on the road due to landslides blocking the way.

BYD climbs to 5th place in the Romanian electric vehicle and PHEV market in July. 2026-08-10 22:42:35 Author: Alfa Rent a Car Spectacular progress for BYD in Romania - 5.72% market share and 672 cars registered in July. The Romanian auto market is undergoing a rapid reconfiguration in the area of electrified vehicles. In July 2026, the Chinese manufacturer BYD recorded a spectacular rise in the national ranking, reaching 5th place in the electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) segment. The performance is supported by 672 cars registered in a single month, which ensures a market share of 5.72%. The evolution in July confirms the brand's rapid pace of expansion on the local market, where BYD manages to compete directly with the major established European and Asian brands. Results for the first 7 months: BYD, the only Chinese manufacturer in the Top 10. The monthly results are not an isolated incident, but reflect a steady growth trend since the beginning of the year: January - July 2026: BYD accumulated 2,812 registered cars in Romania. | Cumulative market share: Reached 3.67% in the electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle segment. | Ranking: BYD ranks 8th in the national EV + PHEV hierarchy for the first seven months and remains the only Chinese car brand in the Top 10. The brand's success was based mainly on competitive models such as the BYD Seal U SUV (available in both plug-in hybrid and 100% electric versions) and compact city models such as the BYD Dolphin, both of which attracted a growing number of local buyers. Who is losing market share to BYD? BYD's aggressive penetration of the electric and plug-in hybrid car segment is changing the balance of power in Romania, eroding the market share of the big traditional players: Although Tesla remains a reference name in the total electric vehicle fleet, its share of monthly new registrations is feeling the pressure of BYD models. The volume brands in the Chinese portfolio attract customers looking for options with a more affordable equipment/price ratio. 2. Dacia (in the area of electric city cars) Dacia Spring has dominated the large-volume electric vehicle segment in recent years. However, BYD's expansion into compact and subcompact vehicles is attracting customers who want larger batteries, greater range and more on-board technology, putting pressure on the domestic model's market share. 3. Traditional European and Asian manufacturers (Volkswagen Group, Renault, Ford, Hyundai, Kia) Traditional brands that invest heavily in electrification are losing ground due to BYD's aggressive pricing and features. Models from the Volkswagen ID range, Renault E-Tech or popular plug-in hybrids from Ford and Hyundai face direct competition from BYD's extended-range hybrid technology (Super DM) and electric SUVs. | Manufacturer / Segment | Impact of BYD's Expansion | | Tesla | Increased pressure on monthly EV registration volumes. | | Dacia | Tighter competition in the affordable electric vehicle segment. | | Traditional European & Asian Automakers (VW Group, Renault, Ford, Hyundai/Kia) | Market share erosion in compact and hybrid/electric SUV segments. | What BYD Romania management says. Company officials attribute these figures to the value proposition that the brand brings to local customers. "The July results show that BYD is quickly gaining the trust of customers in Romania. 5th place in a single month and entering the Top 10 after the first seven months of the year are concrete results, achieved through competitive products, advanced technology and an offer that delivers more value for the amount invested by customers." - Andrei Duică, Deputy Country Manager BYD Romania BYD's growth clearly shows that the Romanian market is becoming increasingly open to new Chinese manufacturers of electrified vehicles, especially when they offer modern technologies, short delivery times and competitive prices.
