On July 16 local time, BYD's Brazil plant reached an important development milestone. The plant's 100,000th new energy vehicle officially rolled off the production line, with the model being the BYD Seagull; at the same time, the plant's workforce on duty surpassed 5,500 people, with capacity construction and local employment accelerating in tandem, fully demonstrating BYD's global operating philosophy of deeply cultivating local development and fulfilling social responsibility.
Relying on its sustained long-term localization strategy, BYD's Brazil plant has achieved high-quality steady growth and established a mature development model in which industrial upgrading, employment empowerment, and green development advance in coordination. Li Tie, general manager of BYD Brazil, said that the leapfrog development of the Camaçari plant is a direct result of the implementation of BYD's deep-cultivation strategy in the Latin American region. "We are making every effort to build the Camaçari plant into a future-oriented modern new energy industrial base, and while continuously releasing production capacity and improving the local supply chain system, we are creating high-quality local jobs, continuously amplifying the social value of new energy industry deployment, and helping Brazil's green transportation transformation and upgrading."
Ednei dos Santos Silva, the 5,500th employee to join this time, is a vivid example of the improvement in quality and efficiency of local employment. Having witnessed the withdrawal of production capacity by a long-established local automaker and the decline in development vitality of the industrial park, Ednei has deep feelings about the replacement of old and new industries. He said that BYD's arrival has restarted the industrial vitality of the area and also brought stable development opportunities to local residents. "This is a brand-new starting point in my career, allowing me to steadily shoulder family responsibilities, continuously improve my professional skills, take root and grow on the land of my hometown, and build the future together. I feel honored to witness Camaçari regain its industrial vitality and rediscover its development dreams."
The achievement of this dual milestone not only confirms the efficient construction speed and stable production output capacity of BYD's Brazil plant, but also marks an increasingly solid strategic pace for the company to establish a presence in Brazil and build a core new energy industrial base in South America. Compared with a single capacity breakthrough, this growth carries deeper social significance: with localized manufacturing as its core, BYD has devoted itself to cultivating the Brazilian market, continuously absorbing local labor, nurturing local industrial talent, and improving regional industrial chain support, transforming the momentum of the company's global development into lasting driving force for Brazil's industrial upgrading, livelihood improvement, and green transformation, and continuously deepening China-Brazil production capacity cooperation and green win-win outcomes.
