BYD in Hungary
According to HellóMagyar, these electric cars are already available for pre-order. Furthermore, they are being distributed through two dealerships: Wallis Motor in Pest and Duna Autó in Buda. You can check out the latest models in their showrooms. There are plans to establish a network of a minimum of 20 dealerships within the next two years. Michael Shu, the General Manager and Managing Director of BYD Europe, expressed that it is of special significance for the manufacturer that their electric cars are now available in Hungary. He also highlighted the enduring connection with the country, thanks to the presence of the BYD eBus factory in Komárom.
A turning point in the nation’s transportation
BYD aspires to bring a major turning point to the country’s transportation by making it more sustainable. The company is optimistic that its products will thrive due to their competitive pricing and cutting-edge designs. Initially, BYD will introduce three models to the Hungarian market: SEAL, DOLPHIN and ATTO3. These models embody advanced electric car technology and sustainability. All new vehicles come with a 6-year or 150,000-kilometre warranty. Furthermore, the energy storage battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 200,000 kilometres. Additionally, the company offers a 24-hour roadside assistance service and has begun establishing a nationwide service network.
