More and more Chinese electropioners are relying on Europe-with BYD as a pioneer: In Szeged, the EU's first BYD car factory is being built, supported by a bus and truck plant in Komárom. The new one Byd HungaryStrategy aims at up to 200,000 vehicles per year and weakens EU criminal dazzling.
Production in Szeged: 150,000 vehicles from the end of 2025
BYD invests € 4 billion in Szeged, Südungarn, on 300 hectares. From the end of the year should be here Dolphine and Atto 3 run off the assembly line. With 150.000–200.000 Units of capacity/year is the largest car plant in Hungary and a counterweight to Teslas Giga Berlin.
Expansion in Komárom: buses and trucks
In parallel, BYD increases the work in Komárom for € 80 million in 2017. The capacity for electric buses and commercial vehicles is growing, 620 new jobs are created. Development and test centers for Europe complete the location.
Advantages for BYD and Europe
-
Customs bypass: EU criminal offense of 17 % on Chinese electric cars is ineffective through production in Hungary.
-
Proximity to the market: Faster customer service, shorter delivery routes.
-
growth: Hungary becomes BYDS hub for research, development and assembly in the EU.
Criticism and subsidy procedure
Brussels determines whether Hungary has paid off -controlling subsidies. Hungary's government is silent, while allegations of Chinese workers and imported components reduce the local value of value creation.
Look ahead: Blueprint for Europe?
Experts see Szeged as a model for other works in Spain, France or Poland. In parallel, BYD is expanding with battery montage in Fót and Páty. The focus is on Europe while the USA is building blockages with punitive tariffs.
Meta description
BYD starts its first EU car factory in Hungary and bypasses punitive tariffs-up to 200,000 electric cars are to be produced annually in Szeged.
