BYD is actively negotiating to acquire or independently operate idle European factories, including talks with Stellantis, to expand local EV production. Preferring outright takeovers or solo operations over joint ventures, BYD is exploring sites in Italy and other countries to accelerate manufacturing for brands like Denza as European EV demand grows. The strategy follows wider industry adjustments: high costs and intense competition have left some legacy plants underused, prompting collaborations between European automakers and Chinese firms. Acquiring existing capacity would speed BYD’s market entry, reduce logistics costs, and support aggressive hiring to build a stronger European presence.
BYD seeking idle European plants matters because it could accelerate local EV production, reduce supply-chain costs, and intensify competition for regional automakers and suppliers. Tech teams must prepare for shifts in demand for software, batteries, and manufacturing automation tied to increased local assembly.

Chinese EV giant BYD is negotiating to take over idle factories in Europe, including talks with Stellantis, to use local production capacity for making cars. BYD executive vice president Li Ke said the company prefers to acquire or operate plants independently rather than form joint ventures, and is exploring opportunities in Italy and elsewhere. The push follows broader industry shifts as European automakers face high costs and intensified competition; some, like Stellantis, are already partnering with Chinese makers (e.g., producing Leapmotor cars in Spain). BYD is accelerating overseas expansion amid growing European EV demand and is hiring aggressively to support its Denza brand launch in the UK. This move could speed BYD’s local manufacturing and market foothold in Europe.
