BYD est sur le point de finaliser $1 Accord d’un milliard de véhicules électriques avec la Turquie, Selon le rapport
BYD serait sur le point de finaliser un accord avec la Turquie pour établir un $1 milliard de véhicules électriques (EV) Usine de fabrication. Cette nouvelle installation, situé dans la province de Manisa, devrait être annoncé par le président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan lors d’une cérémonie lundi, selon Bloomberg.
The strategic location of the plant will grant BYD improved access to the European Union, leveraging Turkey’s customs union agreement with the EU. This move aligns with BYD’s expansion strategy into the European market, as highlighted by the Bloomberg report.
In addition to the European market, the new plant aims to serve Turkey’s growing domestic EV market, which saw EVs account for 7.5 percent of car sales last year. With a population nearing 90 million, Turkey presents a significant market opportunity for BYD.
In recent developments, Turkey has made notable adjustments to its import tariffs. As of July 7, Turkey will implement an additional 40 percent tariff on cars imported from China, with a minimum surcharge of $7,000 per vehicle. This policy, announced on June 8, is intended to boost the market share of domestically produced vehicles and address the current account deficit. Toutefois, today’s Bloomberg report indicates that Turkey has eased tariffs on Chinese car imports to attract more investment.
BYD’s global expansion is evident with the opening of its first EV factory in Thailand on Thursday, alongside ongoing projects in Brazil and plans for another plant in Mexico. Despite its limited presence in Europe, marked only by a plant in Hungary, BYD’s new factory openings demonstrate the company’s commitment to penetrating major markets and mitigating tariff risks.
This strategic expansion underscores BYD’s determination to strengthen its global footprint and capitalize on emerging market opportunities.
