Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has announced that it will start selling its EVs in Sweden and Germany in October 2022. Presently, Norway is the only country in Europe where BYD currently sells passenger cars with the Tang electric SUV the only product on offer there. Models based on the automaker’s e-platform 3.0 and powered by BYD Blade Batteries with LFP chemistry and a cell-to-pack technology are likely to be added to the portfolio in Germany and Sweden.
With the announcement that it will begin selling its plug-in passenger cars in Germany and Sweden starting in the fourth quarter of this year, Chinese automaker BYD Auto continues its rapid international development.
In order to distribute and market its passenger cars in Sweden and Germany, BYD has appointed the European dealer group Hedin Mobility Group. This follows the market launches of its vehicles in Australia in February, Japan last month, and the Netherlands in September.
The company has been granted official distribution, sales, and after-sales services for BYD vehicles in both countries as a result of receiving “Dealer+” status from BYD. In addition to opening its first of many German locations in October, Hedin will also launch stores in Sweden and Germany beginning with Stockholm. Later this month, BYD will introduce client websites for each market; details on the models on offer will follow in September.
The actual sales will begin in October 2022, with the first deliveries for early adopters in Germany and Sweden planned for Q4 2022.
Hedin Mobility Group is one of the biggest privately held dealership groups in Europe with over 230 stores in eight nations, including Germany. The company has a major dealership presence in Scandinavia. In 2021, the company sold more than 125,000 cars.
