Spain has been preselected as a potential location for a new BYD vehicle factory, which would mark the firm's second manufacturing site in Europe. The Chinese carmaker currently operates a plant in Szeged, Hungary, where production is set to begin in late 2026. Executive Vice President Stella Li oversees a brand that has sold nearly 40,000 units in Spain during 2026. While BYD and Denza are already established, the company plans to launch its luxury Yangwang brand, featuring the U9 supercar and the Altior sedan. The expansion highlights BYD's European ambitions, with the Altior offering a range exceeding 1,000km. Yangwang has already launched UK social media profiles and showcased the Altior in Abu Dhabi, signalling a significant push into the high-end EV market. ## Related news ![Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() [#Spain]() #Demographics #PopulationGrowth [#INE]() [#Migration]() 12 November 2026 at 12:57 ## [Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() > New INE data reveals Spain's population reached a historic peak on 1 October 2026, driven almost entirely by foreign-born residents. #Sabadell [#BankOfSpain]() #MortgageFraud #BankingRegulation [#Spain]() 11 November 2026 at 17:15 ## [Bank of Spain fines Sabadell €16.5m over mortgages]() > Banco Sabadell faces a €16.5 million penalty for illegally conditioning mortgage approvals on the purchase of linked insurance policies. #Aldi #ChristmasShopping [#Spain]() #Budgeting #RetailTrends 11 November 2026 at 16:55 ## [Aldi report: 71% of Spanish homes shop early]() > A study reveals most households buy Christmas food early to manage budgets, with many opting for store brands and items under five euros.
