BYD’s initiative in Bahia aims to train workers to operate in a high-tech factory and offer specialization opportunities in China. Additionally, the new BYD factory in Camaçari will have an initial capacity to produce 150 thousand electric vehicles per year, with potential to expand to 300 thousand units.

The goal is to serve not only the Brazilian market but also neighboring countries, strengthening Brazil as an industrial hub, key for the brand outside of China.

BYD Aims to Promote Sustainable and Innovative Technologies in Brazil

The brand has already shown strong performance in the national market with the launch of the BYD Dolphin in June 2023, which quickly became a sales success. Furthermore, the company leads sales of plug-in hybrid cars in the country, with models such as the BYD Song Plus DM-i. BYD’s investment in Bahia, which promises to generate thousands of job openings, is part of a larger plan by BYD to promote sustainable and innovative technologies in Brazil.

BYD also plans to invest in a research center in Salvador, focusing on the development of flex hybrid motors and the expansion of the solar energy sector in Brazil. This announcement comes at an opportune moment, considering the growing interest in electric vehicles in Brazil and the Brazilian government’s commitment to sustainable environmental policies.

BYD’s presence in Brazil reinforces the global trend of transitioning to vehicle electrification and the search for cleaner and more efficient solutions in the vehicle industry.

BYD Also Announces New Stores in Rio Grande do Sul

In addition to this new BYD factory in Bahia, which promises to generate thousands of job openings, Rio Grande do Sul will receive six new BYD stores next year. This effort by the automaker joins many others to expand its influence in Brazil. According to data from Ambrosio Pesce, commercial director of Iesa, responsible for selling vehicles from the Chinese company, BYD stores will be opened in six cities in 2024.

For next year, another unit will be established in the capital city, along with Passo Fundo, Caxias do Sul, Novo Hamburgo, Pelotas, and Santa Maria. At an event held at the Edu Chaves store with the presence of national and global executives, BYD’s global vice president, Stella Li, stated that her participation was precisely aimed at increasing the opening of BYD stores in the city and the state, generating new job openings.
