BYD launches a Super Hybrid architecture compatible with bioethanol to celebrate its 14 millionth new energy vehicle.
BYD, the global leader in new energy vehicles, announces a new milestone in the evolution of hybrid powertrains: the first hybrid unit compatible with biofuels. Developed specifically for the Brazilian market, this system equips a special version of the SONG PRO COP30, which will be showcased at the upcoming United Nations Climate Conference, COP30, in Brazil.
Presented at the inauguration of BYD’s assembly line in Camaçari, this new generation of Super Hybrid adopts the DM-i (Dual Mode Intelligent) technology, already used on European models SEAL U DM-i and SEAL 6 DM-i. The vehicle favors electric driving, with the thermal engine mainly serving as a generator for the battery, reducing environmental impact while maintaining strong performance.

The 1.5 engine in the SONG PRO has been adapted to run on any gasoline-ethanol blend, a green fuel widely used in Brazil. This flexibility illustrates the integration of biofuels into modern hybrid architectures and highlights the future role of renewable fuels in the energy transition.
The vehicle assembled in Camaçari marks BYD’s 14 millionth new energy vehicle worldwide. Thirty units of the COP30 edition will be given away at the climate conference.
“After more than two years of work by over 100 Chinese and Brazilian engineers, our 14 millionth vehicle leaves the factory with the first dedicated bioethanol plug-in hybrid engine,” celebrates BYD founder and CEO Wang Chuanfu. “It’s a concrete step toward more sustainable and efficient internal combustion engines.”
