BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has slowed plans to build an electric vehicle (EV) plant in Vietnam, a manager of the industrial park where the plant would be located said at a shareholders' meeting on Thursday, according to a report from Reuters.
据路透社报道，比亚迪（HKG：1211，OTCMKTS：BYDY）已放慢在越南建造电动汽车（EV）工厂的计划，该工厂所在工业园的一位经理在周四的股东大会上表示。
The Vietnamese government said last May that BYD had decided to build a factory to produce and assemble EVs in Phu Tho province in northern Vietnam, where the company already has a factory that makes tablets for Apple, the report noted.
报告指出，越南政府去年5月表示，比亚迪已决定在越南北部的富寿省建造一座生产和组装电动汽车的工厂，该公司已经在那里有一家为苹果生产平板电脑的工厂。
BYD has slowed down its plans to start construction due to its strategy and a slowdown in the EV market, said Luong Thanh Tung, vice chairman of Gelex Group, the operator of the industrial park where BYD would build the new plant.
比亚迪将建造新工厂的工业园运营商Gelex集团副董事长梁成东表示，由于其战略和电动汽车市场放缓，比亚迪放慢了开工计划。
After lengthy negotiations, BYD had agreed to reserve 100 hectares of commercial land at the Phu Ha industrial park for the EV factory, Tung said, according to Reuters.
据路透社报道，董说，经过长时间的谈判，比亚迪已同意在富哈工业园为电动汽车工厂保留100公顷的商业用地。
After delays, the two sides are now looking for the right time to start the project, he told a shareholders' meeting.
他在股东大会上说，在延误之后，双方现在正在寻找启动该项目的合适时机。
Vietnam's auto market is small. Passenger car sales in Vietnam were 214,619 units in 2023, down 25 percent from 2022, according to data from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA).
越南的汽车市场很小。根据越南汽车制造商协会（VAMA）的数据，2023年越南的乘用车销量为214,619辆，比2022年下降25％。
BYD's main production and sales take place in China and it has begun building factories in several overseas markets.
比亚迪的主要生产和销售发生在中国，并已开始在多个海外市场建造工厂。
In May 2023, BYD started construction of its plant in Uzbekistan and started production in January this year. It is also building passenger car plants in Thailand, Hungary, and Brazil.
2023年5月，比亚迪开始在乌兹别克斯坦建设工厂，并于今年1月开始生产。它还在泰国、匈牙利和巴西建设乘用车工厂。
On March 9, Bloomberg reported that BYD sent a delegation to Jalisco, Mexico, to consider building an EV plant there.
3月9日，彭博社报道说，比亚迪派出一个代表团前往墨西哥哈利斯科州，考虑在那里建造电动汽车工厂。
BYD is targeting overseas sales of 500,000 units in 2024 and 1 million by 2025, the company's chairman and president, Wang Chuanfu, said at an investor event yesterday.
比亚迪董事长兼总裁王传福昨天在一次投资者活动上表示，比亚迪的目标是在2024年海外销售50万辆，到2025年达到100万辆。
In 2024, BYD's full-year sales are expected to grow more than 20 percent from 2023, Wang said.
王说，到2024年，比亚迪的全年销售额预计将比2023年增长20％以上。
That means BYD expects to sell more than 3.63 million vehicles globally this year, considering it sold 3,024,417 NEVs in 2023.
这意味着，考虑到比亚迪在2023年售出了3,024,417辆新能源汽车，预计今年将在全球销售超过363万辆汽车。
