- Con l'Unione Europea che impone tariffe aggiuntive sui veicoli elettrici cinesi, BYD, il più grande produttore al mondo di veicoli elettrici, decide di espandersi nella produzione al di fuori della Cina, aprendo una fabbrica in Turchia, come riportano i media turchi.
- L'annuncio dell'apertura della fabbrica di BYD in Turchia da parte del Presidente Erdogan è atteso presto, poiché la manifattura automobilistica cinese cerca di diversificare il proprio mercato e potenzialmente minimizzare l'impatto delle tariffe punitive sul proprio economia.

BYD, the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, is reportedly planning to open a factory in Turkey.The investment is expected to be worth a billion dollars (approximately 0.9 billion Euros).The factory could help mitigate some of the tariff consequences for the Chinese automaker.
Turkish Media Reports
According to Turkish government sources, BYD is planning to open a factory in Turkey.The announcement is expected to be made publicly by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.No specific date for the announcement has been mentioned yet.
Expansion Plans
BYD opened a factory in Thailand last week, with the capacity to produce up to 150,000 cars annually.The company also has plans for locations in Hungary and Brazil.
EU Tariffs
The European Union recently imposed additional provisional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.The tariffs were imposed due to allegations that Chinese vehicle manufacturers receive comprehensive subsidies, which comes at the expense of European manufacturers.However, vehicles produced in Turkey enjoy improved access to the European market due to a customs union dating back to 1995.
