EV manufacturer and energy storage company expanding across Europe
BYD Europe manufactures and distributes electric vehicles (passenger cars, buses, trucks, forklifts), rechargeable batteries, solar panels, energy storage systems, and rail transit solutions across the continent. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward sales (184 roles), support (145), and marketing (104)—a distribution that reflects a go-to-market operation scaling dealer networks and captive financing rather than a product-engineering org. Active projects reveal dual priorities: network expansion and product launches alongside service-infrastructure buildout (training, dealer performance, campaign execution).
Notable leadership hires: Head of Sales, Head of Marketing, Operations Director, Logistics Director, IT Director
BYD Europe B.V., founded in 1998, is the parent company's first overseas subsidiary and operates from the Netherlands.

Operations span 25 European countries with active hiring in Central and Northern Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK. The organization is structured around sales, customer support, and marketing functions supported by operations, logistics, and engineering teams. Current focus includes establishing production bases, launching new vehicle platforms, developing dealer and captive-financing channels, and improving service-partner performance.
