One of China&#8217;s biggest automakers, Great Wall Motor, plans to set up an electric car facility there. The firm, which has made headway in discussions with the Presidential Investment Office, is reportedly considering opening a plant in Turkey for duty-free sales in the European market, according to the news of Aysel Yücel from the Economy Daily. The company does not have sales in Turkey yet.
Great Wall, which launched its formal sales in nations including England, Germany, and Sweden with the entirely EV-focused ORA brand, also makes batteries under the SVOLT brand thanks to its investment in Germany. The company said it will soon set up factories for the manufacture of battery cells at five locations in Europe, with Turkey possibly being one of them.

Chinese Battery Maker to Invest $6.3bn in Morocco

Li Ke, Executive Vice President of BYD has revealed the automaker&#8217;s ambitions to build not one, but perhaps two seperate EV plants in Europe. These claims came a few months after the brand&#8217;s expansion into Europe and Japan began. The executive was very open about BYD&#8217;s future, its similarities to Tesla, and its plans to grow internationally. She stated that BYD intends to develop an electric car manufacturing base in Europe and that the company is doing due diligence on the project.
<h2>BYD&#8217;s European Expansion Will Include Domestic EV Manufacturing</h2>
According to Bloomberg, by establishing plants in Europe, BYD would be able to both satisfy the expanding demand and escaping the hefty import taxes levied by the EU, which, like the US, wants to shift manufacturing away from China. This would increase the affordability of its automobiles. It will eventually enable the company to expand its market share within the designated area.
This Chinese automaker already operates plants in a number of nations, including three in Brazil and one in Canada, among others. Chinese market, the largest EV industry, is where it is most prevalent. In November 2022, it sold more EVs in China than Tesla, and it currently ranks second worldwide in terms of total EV sales, after Tesla. The decision to establish plants in Europe is a part of BYD&#8217;s larger plan to dominate the worldwide electric car market.
<h2>Buffett-backed Company Plans to Open Two European Passenger EV Facilities</h2>
BYD is positioned to take advantage of the rising electric vehicle demand throughout the continent by announcing plans to construct two plants there. The company declared last summer that it intended to start selling it Chinese EVs in Europe first, starting with the main EV markets in the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark Belgium, and Luxembourg before expanding further.
The company wants to enter Europe with;

There is a mystery about the new facility that BYD hasn&#8217;t yet disclosed which batteries would be produced there. According to the statement in the Chinese news release, BYD will &#8220;produce batteries in the new factory by utilizing one of the previously available prospective battery technologies.”
BYD produces its batteries with the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology. The company is using them in the company&#8217;s well-known electric buses and and the blade batteries is in electric vehicles.
BYD&#8217;s Growth Momentum so Strong
According to SNE, BYD has gone up to 2nd place among companies that have the largest production capacity in the first half of 2022. The leader in the sector are Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL). But compared to the first half of 2021 and 2021 as a whole, BYD&#8217;s growth momentum is so strong. With this momentum, the Chinese company has overtaken the second place from LG Energy Solution on September this year.

In addition, in August, BYD and the municipal administration of Yichun in Jiangxi province reached an agreement not only to construct a battery plant but also to begin a mining operation. In order to stand up for its own manufacturing, BYD is now also spending more on the supply chain.

12 Largest EV Battery Manufacturers in the World

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Leapmotor, an emerging EV brand backed by Dahua Technology, has plans to enter the European market in 2023. The brand officials confirmed that Leapmotor would open showrooms in Europe. To finance its globalization plans, Hangzhou-based carmaker filed its first IPO that worths around $1.5bn at Hong Kong Exchange.
The brand has already started to sell electric vehicles in Turkey and Israel, starting with the compact hatchback called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-t03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor T03</a>. The first EV to be showcased in Europe will probably be the electric sedan C01. With its sleek design, cell-to-chassis technology, and impressive performance figures, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor C01</a> will attract a lot of customers.
<h2>BYD</h2>

BYD first entered Norway with the full-size electric SUV called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2022-byd-tang-ev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tang EV</a>. Over the next months, China&#8217;s biggest EV manufacturer will start selling vehicles all over the world. BYD EVs are already available in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. European countries where BYD will start operations before the end of 2022 are the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, and Sweden.
BYD will export these three electric vehicle models to Old Continent; compact electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-atto-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYD Atto 3</a>, electric sedan <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2022-byd-han-ev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYD Han EV</a>, and BYD Tang EV. India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam will also be subject to BYD&#8217;s global expansion, as official statements confirmed.
Unfortunately, BYD has no plans to enter the American market yet. But there is a possibility of Chinese EV maker using its new premium brand, which reportedly will deliver a $145K+ luxury EV to the market, to attract customers from United States.

Maersk is the largest ocean shipping company in the world. Maersk does not just unload the containers to the parts and sail away, it also distributes the shipments to the freight terminals nearby or around the country. The Danish company has partnered with the Swedish startup Einride and added 300 electric trucks to its distribution fleet.
Today, diesel-powered Class 8 heavy trucks are used to carry the unloaded containers to their destination. While the diesel engine is one of the crucial elements of the shipping industry, it also pollutes heavily the air in and around seaports. The air along the highways between the ports of LA and Long Beach and freight terminals is filled with crud and almost unbreathable because of the exhaust pipes of the diesel trucks.
Einride is a Swedish startup founded in 2016 and developing electric vehicles that can ply between freight terminals. It has signed a 5-year partnership agreement with Maersk for 300 electrical Class 8 trucks. The battery-powered vehicles will be delivered between 2023 and 2025. They will be used by Maersk’s Performance Team, the North American warehousing, distribution, and transportation business of the company.
<h2>Road to Decarbonization</h2>

Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc pointed out that this is an important step towards the decarbonization of the distribution process. He also stated that Maersk has a comprehensive decarbonization plan for its Ocean activities, constituting 93% of all company-related emissions. The long-term goal of the Danish company in North America is to transform its fleet into a fully electric one to offer an environment-friendly alternative for short hauling.
The first trucks of the Maersk-Einride partnership will be the Class 8 8TT Gen 3 tractors made by BYD at its production plant in Southern California. Maersk will buy trucks with Einride technology manufactured by other brands. With this, Einride’s digital road freight operating system will be first and largely used in these trucks. The system of the Swedish company centralizes the decision-making and makes freight distribution more efficient.
In the last years, Maersk has increased its transportation solutions and offers not only its maritime customers. In 2021, the company brought in many entities, including the logistics provider Performance Team and its 58 US facilities last April and recently the Pilot Freight and technology provider Visible SCM.
The new electric trucks of Maersk will be on the roads of selected US cities. With the 5-year contract with Einride, Maersk will complete up to 1 million delivery events using zero-emissions trucks.   Einride’s Saga will also provide 150 charging stations and connectivity systems to the Danish freight company.
