lol, BYD is not going to build more into UK. It won't help them in the EU market. They already have a JV with ADL that build a lot of buses in UK, no need to contribute more for British economy.

As I said, Germany, France and Poland. Most likely some combination of that for battery and car plant. They already have a bus factory in Hungary. Need to spread around the wealth to keep politicians happy.

Btw, it looks like Chengdu car plant will happen for BYD. Remember, a couple of months ago, BYD met with Sichuan party chief for negotiations. Sichuan is a big market. Aside from incentives, Sichuan will almost assuredly be ordering BYD buses and SkyRail product.

At least they are better than Toyota. Several years ago a Chinese student interning in Toyota leaked info that they were buying BYD cars, taking them apart, and trying to see how stuff worked together under the hood. He was selected for his Mandarin skills.
Toyota used to take apart Mercedes and BMW cars, when they were preparing for their Lexus brand.

My understanding is that tearing down competitors' vehicles is standard procedure in the auto industry, and there's nothing underhanded about it at all.

Byd is building 3 factories on Brazil in the Bahia region. All to be completed around 2024 and 2025. They will build factories for buses, passenger vehicles and battery. This will create 1200 jobs. Byd has devoted a lot of resources in localization in Brazil, due to local laws. The factories will produce both electric cars and plugin hybrid. I could see song and qin do very well in Brazil. It's a very high price market.

Byd Zhengzhou plant update. The first phase will start production in March 2023 and the second phase start construction in June 2023.

They are building a new research center in hefei. Byd is really taking over anhui province. It will be a 10 billion rmb investment and their third passenger vehicle development base after Shenzhen and xian. Xian is still under construction, so this is huge expansion of their r&d facility also.

Also, the hefei plant will be able to produce 900 cars a day by second half of October. Quite impressive considering they just started production 4 months ago. In another year or so, they expect to reach yearly production of 1 million.

In a continued sign of their whole nation strategy, they are building a battery factory in baotou, inner Mongolia that will produce 30 gwh of blade battery a year.
