Chinese auto brand BYD debuts its first Brazil-made cars

Описание: These are the first BYD electric cars to roll out of their new plant in Brazil. For now, the company's vehicles still arrive mostly assembled from China and are finished here. But BYD says the plan is to steadily increase local production and parts sourcing over time.

The governor of Bahia says he hopes this investment will help modernize his state and bring opportunities to its people.

The new assembly line started with the Dolphin Mini - BYD's best-selling urban EV - but will soon expand to include the Song Pro and BYD King. The company says all three models will move into commercial production in the coming weeks.

BYD's president in Brazil says the company is adapting its strategy to local and regional needs.

Construction began in March 2024 after BYD acquired a site once used by US automaker Ford. The plant launched with capacity to make 150,000 vehicles per year - with plans to double that in a second phase.

It's an industrial milestone that could put more Brazilian-built electric cars on roads across Latin America - and shows how Chinese investment is helping drive the region's shift toward cleaner transport.
