“This is a crucial moment for BYD in the Americas,” stated Stella Li, CEO of BYD Americas. “The new electric car factories in Brazil, specifically in Camaçari, will enable the acceleration of electromobility in the country, a key movement to combat climate change and improve the quality of life for people.”

With operations set to begin in the second half of 2024, BYD’s three factories in Camaçari are expected to generate over 5,000 jobs. “We are committed to making a significant social impact. We plan to hire local labor starting this year, offering proper training and knowledge transfer,” says Tyler Li, president of BYD Brazil.

The company aims to contribute to regional development, prioritizing local suppliers. In carrying out civil works, BYD will also prioritize hiring companies established in the region.

By establishing its first industrial complex in Brazil, BYD demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and technological development. The company aims to create non-polluting products and promote a pleasant work environment for its employees, suppliers, and visitors. This reflects BYD’s global vision of promoting the electric car revolution and a more sustainable future for all.
