Currently reading: BYD to build Dolphin Surf electric car at new factory in Hungary

BYD will be one of the first Chinese companies to build cars in Europe, creating "thousands" of jobs

BYD will move production of its new Dolphin Surf urban EV from China to its new factory in Hungary at the end of this year.

This will make BYD one of the first Chinese companies to build its cars in Europe and is in contrast to Leapmotor's recent decision to renege on its plan to build the European-market T03 in Poland.
