Exclusive-China EV giant BYD reboots Europe operations after strategic stumbles, sources...
MILAN/SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's leading EV maker BYD is overhauling its European operations after strategic missteps including failures to sign up enough dealers and hire executives with local-market knowledge and to offer hybrids in markets resistant to fully electric vehicles, six current and former BYD executives said.
