BYD may start building electric vehicles in Brazil

According to a piece of news published by Reuters, Chinese manufacturer BYD will start building electric vehicles, including cars, buses and trucks, in Brazil. The Chinese company would rely on the support granted by the local government in order to ‘fill the gap’ left by Ford, which dismissed in 2021 its industrial complex in Northeastern State of Bahia, Brazil.
