BYD appointed Peter Szijjarto, former Hungarian Foreign Minister, to lead external relations and new business development, bringing deep government connections in Beijing and Brussels.
The hire comes as BYD prepares to begin vehicle assembly at its first European passenger-car plant in Szeged, Hungary, in Q4 2026.
Szijjarto's appointment reflects BYD's need to navigate EU regulatory frameworks, member-state relations, and localization commitments as Chinese automakers deepen manufacturing presence in Europe.
