China’s BYD now employs more than 1.02 million people worldwide, according to chairman Wang Chuanfu.
This figure exceeds the combined workforces of Toyota, General Motors, Ford, and Tesla, which together total around 850,000.

About 960,000 of BYD’s staff work in China and 60,000 overseas, with up to 120,000 in research and development.
The headcount reflects the company’s highly vertically integrated model, covering batteries, semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, and vehicle production.

BYD added roughly 150,000 employees in 2026, reaching this milestone despite some sales fluctuations.

Women’s parking spaces, known as Frauenparkplätze, were introduced in Germany during the 1980s to help women feel safer when walking to and from their vehicles.
They are commonly located in well-lit areas near entrances and exits, making them easier to access and monitor.

Some German states require large parking garages to provide these spaces with additional safety features, including emergency alarms and security cameras.
Private parking operators may also establish their own rules and arrangements to improve safety for women using their facilities.
