Kuala Lumpur’s Plaza Arkadia buzzed with a different kind of energy last weekend—not the usual café chatter or weekend foot traffic, but the unmistakable hum of curiosity, innovation and next-generation electric mobility. From 14 to 16 November 2025, BYD Malaysia, DENZA and BYD Sime Motors hosted the inaugural BYD Tech Discovery Day, marking the first stop of Malaysia’s first EV technology showcase tour.
For three days, Carpark 3 transformed into an immersive playground for EV enthusiasts, families, early adopters and the EV-curious. As a magazine editor attending the showcase, it felt less like a corporate event and more like stepping into a preview of what the nation’s automotive future could look like—smarter, cleaner and undeniably more exciting.
A Showcase Built on Intelligence, Innovation and Intent
Under the theme “BYD Intelligence. Powering Malaysia Forward,” the event brought together the brand’s most forward-thinking ideas in electric mobility. It was a showcase not built merely to impress, but to educate—an open invitation for Malaysians to understand the technology shaping the cars of tomorrow.
As the leading battery electric vehicle brand in Malaysia, BYD has long earned trust through innovation and accessibility. With technologies like the revolutionary Blade Battery, advanced e-Platform 3.0, and intelligent control systems, the brand continues to push the boundaries of what electric vehicles can achieve.
Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, emphasised that the showcase was more than a product demonstration—it was a responsibility.
“This is not just a showcase, but a defining moment in Malaysia’s shift toward a cleaner and sustainable future.”
His words reflected a brand mission rooted in global ambition: to innovate relentlessly, to educate fearlessly and to contribute meaningfully to cooling the Earth by one degree.
A Milestone Moment for Sime Motors
This event also marked a meaningful moment for BYD Sime Motors. As Managing Director for Southeast Asia, Jeffrey Gan highlighted, the showcase aligned with Sime Motors’ 45-year legacy and its rapidly expanding partnership with BYD.
With over 40 BYD and DENZA outlets nationwide, a growing after-sales ecosystem, and more than 24,000 proud owners, BYD’s presence in Malaysia has strengthened significantly in just three years.
The commitment is clear: a more intelligent electrified future isn’t a faraway vision—it’s already in motion.
