Paraná is being considered to host a new factory that will produce controllers and motors for the electric vehicles of the multinational. Piana emphasizes that the state acts as an important logistics center and has great advantages for the installation of industries like BYD.

According to the Vice Governor, the company was shown the potential of the state, which is a central point within Mercosur and is being transformed by the government into a logistics center to meet the demands of all of South America. BYD is one of the largest multinationals, already operating in Brazil, including Paraná, and is now evaluating generating further investments in the state, with all the infrastructure they can provide.

According to Tyler Li, President of BYD, the company has been aware of Paraná for a long time, having an office and strong potential to invest in the state. Li emphasizes that the multinational BYD has received some information from Stellantis and will present it to its technical team from China, which will visit Brazil in February to evaluate the conditions and possibilities at the production unit.

In March, the multinational will provide an update. Ricardo Barros, State Secretary for Industry, Commerce, and Services, stated that there is great expectation from the government of Paraná regarding the attraction of the multinational. Barros highlights that it was possible to showcase the positive image of the state with the visit to Campo Largo and the meeting with government leadership to clarify all points of interest. Paraná has good business opportunities, with tax and logistical advantages, as well as skilled labor.

The Chinese company is a global leader in four major industries: electronics, clean energy, automotive, and rail transit. It has over 290,000 employees spread across 30 industrial parks around the world.

In 2021 alone, the company generated US$ 35 billion in revenue, with an annual growth rate of 55%. The president of Invest Paraná, Eduardo Bekin, highlighted the diversity of products manufactured by the company. According to Bekin, the multinational is not only focused on electric cars and solar panels but goes much further, producing a range of electronic components.

For Invest, it is essential to open doors in Paraná for an industry of this scale, aiming to transform the state into BYD’s showcase in the country and Latin America. The group arrived in the country in 2015 when the first fully electric bus assembly plant was inaugurated in Campinas (SP).
