In the meantime, BYD also initiated the pre-sale of the BYD ATTO 3 in Turkey, with plans to put the model available for sales to local consumers in November this year.

In a strategic partnership with the dealer ALJ Turkey, BYD intends to open five stores in Turkey later this year, spanning the capital city, Ankara, the most populous city, Istanbul, and the third-largest port city, Izmir. Starting in November, consumers can visit the inaugural flagship retail store in Istanbul to experience BYD's latest NEV offerings and cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.

Ismail Ergun, General Manager of ALJ BYD Turkey, expressed, "BYD is a globally renowned leader in NEV manufacturing, known for its exceptional battery technology and outstanding product performance. We firmly believe that BYD's high-quality electric vehicles will strongly resonate with Turkish consumers, aligning perfectly with their green mobility ideals. As the electric vehicle market in Turkey rapidly expands, our goal is for BYD's dealership network to cover 82% of the Turkish market by next year, delivering the highest-quality and most comprehensive service to our customers."

In March of this year, ALJ forged a collaboration agreement with BYD, becoming the distributor for BYD's passenger and commercial vehicles in Turkey. Leveraging its extensive resources and experience in the automotive industry, ALJ is committed to providing localized sales and comprehensive after-sales support to meet the diverse needs of Turkish customers.
