Nio launched the ET5 in Europe in October 2022, with deliveries of the sedan there beginning on March 31.

The Atto 3 is priced significantly lower than other EVs in the UAE, making it by far the most accessible electric model available in the UAE through official dealers.

BYD held a brand and product launch event in Italy, introducing the BYD Atto 3, Han, Dolphin and Seal to local consumers.

BYD said it is evaluating the feasibility of building a passenger car plant in Europe and is looking for a suitable location.

The BYD Dolphin will be available for pre-order this summer, with deliveries in the fourth quarter, and the Seal will be available in Europe shortly thereafter, BYD said.

The initial order will include the BYD Atto 3, which will be available under the so-called Salary Sacrifice program.

The BYD Atto 3 will start at £36,490 ($43,230) in the UK and deliveries there will begin on March 15.

BYD could build up to two passenger car plants in Europe, an executive said, also confirming that the company is buying its own ships to export cars.

BYD has announced the pre-sale prices for the Atto 3, Han, and Tang in Europe, where they will be delivered starting this year in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany.

BYD is expected to launch models in Europe including the Tang, Han, and the Yuan Plus, which will be locally named the Atto 3.
