Continue to Expand Overseas! BYD Will Set up a Factory in Turkey!
AshleyJul 09, 2024, 10:19 AM
Recently, according to Agence France-Presse, local time on July 8th (today), BYD signed an investment agreement with the Turkish government to build a factory, and Turkish President Erdogan attended the signing ceremony.
According to the agreement, BYD will invest about 1 billion US dollars to establish a factory and research and development center capable of producing 150,000 cars a year. The factory plans to start production by the end of 2026 and will provide jobs for up to 5000 workers.
The report mentioned that, according to the "Customs Union" established in 1995, cars manufactured in Turkey enjoy preferential treatment for entry into the EU, and the Marmara region around Istanbul has become one of the world's major automotive industry centers. In addition, the land previously allocated to Volkswagen in Manisa, north of Izmir, will be transferred to BYD.
Turkey's Minister of Industry and Technology, Mustafa Varank, told Bloomberg in May this year that, in addition to BYD, CHERY was also in deep negotiations with the country about investment at that time.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
