BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of New Energy Vehicles (plug-in hybrid and fully electric), is proud to announce that it is the headline sponsor for the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association Annual Dinner for the third year running.
The BVRLA Annual Dinner is the highlight of the rental, fleet management and leasing calendar, and this year it will be hosted at the prestigious JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, London on 4th March.
In supporting the flagship industry event since 2024, BYD is again acknowledging this key sector of the UK market. In 2025, several new introductions, including the SEALION 7, DOLPHIN SURF, SEAL 6 Saloon and Touring, and the ATTO 2 all bolstered BYD’s range, contributing to 21,824 fleet sales and 5,964 rental units. The SEALION 5 DM-i just launched in 2026, and the ATTO 2 DM-i and ATTO 3 EVO are set to arrive imminently. The brand is backed by a dedicated UK fleet team of 11 people, providing product and service expertise.
The BVRLA has 1,000 organisations in membership, all of whom operate in, or engage with the UK vehicle rental, leasing and fleet sectors. From small and medium-sized businesses to large PLCs, the BVRLA welcomes all those who are committed to delivering excellence. By consulting with government and maintaining industry standards, we help our members deliver safe, sustainable and affordable road transport to millions of consumers and businesses. The Annual Dinner includes the presentation of the Industry Hero Awards, while award-winning stand-up comedian Tom Ward will be entertaining guests on stage.
