A new electric vehicle manufacturing plant in Hungary is under consideration to incorporate existing production facilities from Spain and France, according to BYD’s special adviser for Europe. The move could expand the company’s European operations by integrating these plants into its Hungarian site, potentially streamlining production and supply chains. The announcement follows BYD’s growing investments in the region, aiming to strengthen its presence in the fast-evolving EV market. Details on how the integration will proceed remain unclear, but the decision could reshape the company’s manufacturing footprint across the continent.
Existing plants in Spain and France are candidates to be added to a new factory in Hungary, Alfredo Altavilla, BYD's special adviser for Europe, said.
