BYD Aims to Double Its European Sales Network in 2026 - CleanTechnica
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is rapidly expanding its presence in Europe, aiming to double its sales network by 2026. Currently operating in 29 European countries, BYD plans to have 1,000 points of sale by the end of 2025 and then double that number the following year. This expansion strategy is part of BYD’s effort to build proximity to European customers and compete with established domestic automakers, despite challenges such as tariffs on fully electric vehicles (BEVs) imported from China. To strengthen its foothold, BYD is constructing a manufacturing facility in Hungary, with trial production expected to begin in early 2026. This factory will help BYD circumvent tariffs and boost sales of BEVs. Additionally, the company is planning a second factory in Turkey and possibly a third in Spain, signaling a long-term commitment to the European market. BYD sold over 80,000 plug-in vehicles in Europe during the first nine months of 2025, underscoring its

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is undertaking an unprecedented series of product launches in Europe, aiming to rapidly expand its presence in the region despite high tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. To circumvent these tariffs, BYD has established a manufacturing facility in Hungary and is preparing to introduce multiple new models tailored specifically for the European market. The company, currently the world’s largest pure electric vehicle seller primarily in China, has already launched six cars in Europe within a year, including the recently introduced Dolphin Surf in the UK. While initial units of the Surf are imported from China, production will soon shift to Hungary to better serve local demand. BYD’s European strategy involves significant localization and adaptation of its vehicles to meet regional preferences, which has delayed some model launches by up to 18 months compared to other markets. Alfredo Altavilla, BYD’s special advisor for Europe, emphasized the company’s commitment to building a dedicated product lineup for Europe, distinguishing BYD from other Asian brands.
