Written by BT/MTI

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD aims to establish cooperation with education institutions in Szeged (SE Hungary), where it is building its first plant in Europe, the company’s Hungarian PR agent said on Friday.

A delegation in charge of training and HR at BYD recently visited Hungary and met with Culture and Innovation Minister Balazs Hanko and Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) head Istvan Joo. The delegation also met with the heads of higher education and vocational training institutions in Szeged.

Jerry Xun, BYD’s deputy-CEO for HR, said he expected Hungarian expertise and innovative approaches to play an “outstanding” role in its activities in Hungary.

BYD’s base in Szeged will turn out as many as 300,000 vehicles a year.
