Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD<\/strong>, which plans to build a plant in Mexico<\/strong>, negotiated with authorities to extend a decree that eliminates 15-20%<\/strong> tariffs on electric vehicle imports from countries with which Mexico does not have a trade agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be noted that the decree expired after four years on September 30<\/strong>. In this regard, the Head of BYD Mexico<\/strong>, Jorge Vallejo<\/strong>, told Reforma<\/strong> newspaper that they have had some conversations not only for the expansion issue, but also for the investment in a manufacturing plant<\/strong> with the creation of more than 10,000 jobs<\/strong> in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe approach precisely with the Federal Government<\/strong> is to see what would be the possibility that, through investment in a new plant, there could be conditions to expand the decree. We are waiting for the government’s response<\/strong>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
