BYD to Assemble Electric Vehicles in Brazil Amid Tariff Challenges

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is set to begin assembling battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Brazil this year, a strategic move to counteract the impact of recently reintroduced import tariffs on electric vehicles. Having entered the Brazilian market in 2021 and sold over 100,000 electric cars, BYD faces new challenges with tariffs on BEVs, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that could hinder the affordability of its models. By shifting to local assembly, BYD aims to bypass these tariffs, maintaining its competitive edge in Brazil, its most significant market outside China. This development reflects the critical role of the Brazilian market in the global electric vehicle sector and the complexities introduced by trade policies.
