Operations are scheduled to commence in the second half of 2024 and BYD expects the factories to create 5,000 jobs.

The company also plans to prioritise local suppliers and hire established regional companies for construction.

“The social contribution will be significant. We want to hire local labour starting this year so that they can begin receiving all the necessary training and knowledge transfer,” said Tyler Li, president of BYD Brazil.
