The report also said some departments are still recruiting new employees.
BYD started reducing its staff around the Spring Festival holiday. Two thirds of employees have been fired in some vehicle sales departments, the Beijing-based Economic Observer reported Feb 26.
It also said over 190,000 workers have been recruited by the auto maker in mid-2010. Still, it has never been reported how many workers serve its auto or IT business.
