Chinese carmaker eyes Slovakia

Chinese electric cars to be made in Slovakia. The name of the company is BYD China. “This carmaker is
negotiating with a Bratislava-based company which would develop electric cars for them,” Marián Farkaš, head of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Slovakia (Sinaco) told the Hospodárske Noviny (HN) daily.

He added that Slovaks are clear favourites for BYD, with no other companies being addressed for now. In case the Chinese automotive producer agrees with the Slovak company, dozens of new jobs in development will be created and hundreds of thousands of euros invested, HN wrote on January 16. BYD already produces re-chargeable accumulators. Its existing electric vehicles have started to appear in Europe.
