E-Lkw: BYD will demnächst auch in Europa produzieren
Ab dem nächsten Jahr soll der Elektro-Lkw von BYD auch in Europa erhältlich sein. Dabei soll es nicht bleiben. Auch Tesla hat seinen Semi für Europa umgebaut.
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD plans to introduce its first heavy-duty truck, the ETT 44, to Europe next year, according to Stella Li, the company's chief international business executive. Li stated this during a presentation at the IAA commercial vehicles exhibition in Hannover. BYD aims to provide a comprehensive package to fleet customers, including financing, charging stations, and a workshop network with mobile breakdown services.
The company's long-term goal is to produce all its European sales in China. BYD wants to leverage local production to avoid import tariffs on trucks and avoid competition from European manufacturers like MAN, who are calling for the EU to treat heavy-duty trucks similarly to subsidized electric vehicles from China.
