A BYD announced the start of the preliminary phase of construction of a state-of-the-art production unit in Hungary.
The new BYD factory, the first for the production of passenger cars in Europe, will be located in Szeged, in Southeast Hungary, and will be dedicated to the production of 100% electric vehicles for the European market.
