BYD aims to get half of sales from global markets
BYD is investing billions of dollars on production facilities in Europe, Asia and South America to serve local markets and skirt trade barriers being thrown up against Chinese EVs.

China’s top-selling automaker BYD expects overseas deliveries to account for almost half of total sales in the future, suggesting it will continue to set up global production hubs to overcome punishing tariffs. 

“Our overseas market will account for a relatively large proportion of our global sales in the future,” Executive Vice President Stella Li in an interview at the company’s Shenzhen headquarters.

Asked to be more specific, she said “nearly half” of sales will come from overseas.

While Li did not give a specific time frame for the global sales goal, it would require a huge increase in production and deliveries.

BYD is on track to hit 500,000 overseas sales this year, having reached 270,000 in the first seven months — accounting for around 14 percent of its overall total. BYD’s overall target is to sell approximately 3.6 million full- electric and plug-in hybrid cars in 2024, mostly in its home market.

To achieve the global goal, BYD is investing billions of dollars on production facilities in Europe, Asia and South America to serve local markets and skirt trade barriers being thrown up against Chinese electric vehicles.

The European Union earlier this month imposed an additional 17 percent duty on BYD cars, while Canada and the U.S. have both slapped 100 percent levies on Chinese EVs, accusing China of cheating on trade by subsidizing its auto industry.

BYD has a factory up and running in Thailand, and more manufacturing capacity being built in Hungary, Brazil and Turkey.

It has committed to build a plant in Indonesia and is poised to sign a production deal in Mexico.

To build its brand awareness outside China, it last month signed a deal with Uber to put 100,000 EVs onto the ride-hailing company’s platform and was one of the major sponsors of the Euro 2024 and Copa America soccer tournaments.

The international push will likely feature in a robust financial report — and rising first-half net income — that BYD will release later on Aug. 28.

The 50 percent global sales goal probably will not be achieved until the end of the decade, according to Bloomberg Intelligence China auto analyst Joanna Chen.

“That 50 percent mix is at least a 2030 story, or even later,” Chen said. “Among Chinese OEMs, Chery Auto’s current mix is roughly half export and half domestic. It was the earliest to go overseas and is now the largest Chinese OEM in terms of exports. Others still depend heavily on the domestic market.”

BYD has been selling well in countries like Brazil, Israel, Thailand and Australia, but European drivers remain less enthused about buying an EV, reflecting the broader trouble for legacy and new players across the continent. BYD has also become the dominant force in its home market, overtaking established western automakers like Volkswagen Group to sell 3 million units last year.

Data centers

BYD is also setting up its own data centers in individual European countries as it expands its autonomous and internet-connected cars, Li said.

The data collected will not be sent to China, she said, heading off data security concerns, something the U.S. is seeking to tackle.

Efforts to keep customer data safe mirrors a commitment by rival EV maker Xpeng to set up large-scale data centers in Europe to cope with software data collection in its intelligent-driving cars.

BYD ingaggia Altavilla: l’ex vice di Marchionne coi cinesi

 

BYD ingaggia Altavilla: l’ex braccio destro di Sergio Marchionne ai tempi di FCA (Fiat-Chrysler) diventa special advisor per l’Europa del colosso cinese. 

 

BYD ingaggia Altavilla come special advisor per l’Europa

Il curriculum di Alfredo Altavilla parla da sé: è stato il manager più vicino a Marchionne, affiancandolo prima nel salvataggio della Fiat e quindi nella creazione di FCA. Due storie di successo durante le quali ha ricoperto diversi ruoli, anche come n.1 di Iveco, Fiat Powertrain Technologies e Tofas. Più di recente è stato al timone di ITA Airways, l’ex Alitalia. Attualmente è consigliere di alcune grandi società e consulente di importanti fondi d’investimento. Insomma, un colpo grosso per il colosso cinese, che si definisce “leader mondiale nella produzione di veicoli a nuova energia (NEV)“. E che ha bisogno di manager che conoscano a fondo il mercato europeo, come conferma Stella Li, Executive Vice President BYD: “L’aggiunta di Altavilla al team europeo è un passo fondamentale nella nostra strategia di rafforzamento e consolidamento in questo importante mercato. Alfredo porta con sé una vasta esperienza nel settore auto. E una visione strategica che sarà preziosa nei nostri sforzi per posizionare BYD come leader nella mobilità sostenibile in Europa”.

 

Un top manager con la fama di duro: sentite quel che dice sul lavoro a distanza…

Negli anni a Torino, Altavilla si è costruito una fama di manager esigente e duro. Una fama confermata anche da un post su LinkedIn per censurare il dilagare della moda del lavoro a distanza anche tra i top manager: “La gestione di un’azienda è una maratona, non una gara dei 100 metri. Anche se il vincitore dei 100 viene ricordato negli anni e il vincitore di una maratona è dimenticato molto presto…e i bluff di cui sono pieni i giornali in queste settimane lo dimostrano. Ai miei collaboratori ho sempre detto “People must smell leadership” e ai capi che adorano chiudersi in uffici bellissimi o in casa ho contrapposto la cultura del confronto. Nelle riunioni, sul mercato, nelle fabbriche. Le Squadre non si creano al computer o attraverso bonus a fine anno, si assemblano giorno per giorno con fatica, sacrifici, scelte difficili. E, quando riesci, condividendo il successo. Il remote working di uno/due giorni a settimana per chi ne ha necessità non è un problema nelle categorie impiegatizie ma sei sei un Dirigente devi andare in ufficio, in fabbrica ogni diavolo di giorno”.

Iniziassero con una nomenclatura decente 😅… sono andata sul sito cinese e tra la miriade di modelli (dalle dimensioni simili tra l’altro) non si capisce nulla…

BYD hires Fiat Chrysler's former Europe boss as special adviser
Alfredo Altavilla, who was COO of Fiat Chrysler for Europe from 2012-18, will help the Chinese automaker expand in the region.

BYD has hired Alfredo Altavilla, a former head of Europe at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, as a special adviser for the European market, as the Chinese automaker seeks to expand its presence in Europe.

BYD is a rival to Tesla as the world’s largest maker of full-electric cars. It is making a major push into Europe, with a growing lineup of EVs and plans to build factories in Hungary and Turkey.

New EU tariffs on Chinese-built EVs have complicated BYD’s plans, however, as has the slowdown in electric-car sales. The European factories would allow the automaker to avoid the levies, which would add 17 percent to an existing 10 percent tariff.

BYD is also adding a plug-in hybrid powertrain to the Seal U SUV, which would not be subject to the EV tariff.

BYD’s European sales have grown quickly in the past two years; in July, the brand ranked 30th in Europe, up 18 spots from July 2023. This year, sales are up by 331 percent, to 21,261 from 4,929 in 2023. It is the second-largest Chinese brand in Europe, but far behind the leader, MG, which sold more than 148,000 cars through July.

BYD has ambitious plans for Europe. Earlier this year, Europe CEO Michael Shu said in an interview with Automotive News Europe that it was seeking a 5 percent share of the EV market in Europe ahead of the launch of the factory in Hungary. That would translate to about 70,000 annual EV sales.

Altavilla will be a key part of that push, Stella Li, BYD executive vice president, said in a release on Aug. 30.

"The addition of Alfredo Altavilla to the European team is a key step in our strategy to strengthen and consolidate BYD's presence in this important market," she said.

Altavilla starts in his new role Sept. 2.

Altavilla, a native of Taranto, Italy, held various management positions at Fiat. These included CEO of truck maker Iveco, responsibility for Fiat's cooperation with General Motors, and CEO of the Tofas Turkish joint venture. In 2012, he became chief operating officer for the Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EMEA) region, and was a top aide to Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne. 

Following Marchionne’s death in 2018, Altavilla left the automaker after Jeep and Ram CEO Mike Manley was named as head of FCA. Manley played a key role in Fiat's Chrysler's merger with PSA Group to create Stellantis. 

After leaving Fiat Chrysler, Altavilla held a variety of board and advisory positions, including as a director at Telecom Italia. In 2021 he was appointed by the government as executive chairman of ITA Airways,  the successor to financially troubled Alitalia.

His current positions include senior adviser at CVC Capital Partners in Europe, and seats on the boards of directors at Enerpac Tool Group, MSX, Ambienta SGR and Proma Group. In addition, he is part of the investment committee of Vasuky, a Tech VC fund sponsored by Rothschild & Co.
