According to Bloomberg, Li Ke, vice president of BYD's overseas operations, said in an interview on October 12 local time that BYD plans to hire extensively in Europe, with the number of local employees expected to reach about 40,000 by 2030.
BYD is investing heavily in Europe and has a long-term strategy. Li Ke said that the company's workforce in Europe will soon exceed 10,000 people, and this number "will definitely surpass 40,000 by 2030".
According to reports, if this goal is achieved, BYD will become one of the non-European automakers with the largest number of employees in Europe.
Li Ke revealed that BYD will recruit employees in a wide range of industries, including the automotive sector and others. This includes professionals who may be laid off by local European companies.
