The multinational BYD announced on Friday (25) the name of another partner that will help the automaker in the process of creating a network of dealerships for reselling its electric cars in Brazil. BYD appointed the Águia Branca group, which now aims to inaugurate at least five dealerships in the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo by the end of 2022.
New Dealership Network in Partnership with Águia Branca Group
Headquartered in Espírito Santo, where it began operations in 1946, the Águia Branca Group operates throughout Brazil in various segments of transportation, logistics, and vehicle sales.
According to the plan, BYD dealerships will be located in Belo Horizonte, Uberlândia, and Juiz de Fora/MG, as well as in the cities of Vitória and Vila Velha/ES. According to BYD’s sales director, Henrique Antunes, the main objective is to initially be present in major cities in Brazil, leveraging the experiences of groups operating in the automotive market.

In 2020, BYD started operations in its third factory in Brazil, within the Manaus Industrial Pole (PIM), dedicated entirely to the production of lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4).
BYD is also the author of two SkyRail (monorail) projects in Brazil: in Salvador/BA, with the Suburb VLT, and in São Paulo/SP, with Line 17 – Ouro. The multinational sells forklifts, trucks, vans, and electric cars. Recently, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company mobilized to sell disposable masks in Brazil.
