While details remain scant, the new plant is expected to be built in Manisa which was previously allocated to Volkswagen. The new plant will have a capacity to produce 150,000 vehicles annually and serve as a mobility and research and development (R&D) centre.
Production from the new facility is said to begin towards the end of 2026 and will create 5,000 jobs in Turkey. Furthermore, the plant is expected to increase BYD’s logistics in Europe and help strengthen BYD’s expansion in the continent.
