The plant was commissioned on June 27 with the participation of the head of state. It became BYD's first passenger car plant outside China.
Chairman of Uzavtosanoat, Ulugbek Rozukulov reported on the first results of the investment project and plans for its expansion.
He noted that, as part of the launch of the full production cycle, an analysis of enterprises in Uzbekistan producing plastic parts, glass, bumpers, wheels and many other components was carried out for compliance with the BYD quality system.
To meet the needs of the public for passenger cars and expand their range, agreements have been reached with Chinese partners on the production of cars in the B, C and budget segments. Their first samples were transferred by Chinese partners to laboratories to test the modern standardization system.
Partnership with BYD also includes training and advanced training of local personnel.
