Why is Chinese EV giant BYD moving into Turkey?
Update: 2024-08-22
Description
We’re in Manisa on Turkey’s west coast.
It’s one of the country’s manufacturing centres for home appliances like washers, dryers, and refrigerators.
But soon, thanks to a $1bn investment deal, it will also be a local factory hub for China’s BYD - the world’s second biggest maker of electric vehicles.
The Turkish government is desperate for international investment to turn around its economy, and the region would benefit from 5,000 jobs. China is keen to get another foothold into the European market. So is it win-win?
