BYD, one of the world’s leading automotive companies that has decided to invest approximately 1 billion dollars in Turkey, has initiated the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process for the factory to be built in Manisa. The EIA application file for BYD’s Passenger Vehicle Production Facility Project has been submitted to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. Thus, the EIA process for the project has been initiated. Until the process is completed, any kind of information and opinions, questions, and suggestions regarding the project can be sent to the Manisa Directorate of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change or to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. The factory will be constructed within the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone, which has been allocated land in the Yunus Emre district of Manisa. The factory will produce 200 thousand units of chargeable hybrid and electric vehicles. In addition to the main production stages consisting of presses, body welding, paint shop, and assembly lines, factories will also be established for the production of chassis, frame, motor assembly, electric vehicle battery assembly, vehicle bumper, brake pad, vehicle seat, and vehicle air conditioner components at the chosen project site. The project area will also include a test track for test drives of manufactured vehicles and an R&D building for sustainable mobility technologies. During the construction phase of the planned project, an average of 2,500 people will work, while during operation, a total of 12,000 people will work in three shifts. Within the scope of waste management, strategies will be implemented in BYD’s factory to minimize waste formation at its source. Following the completion of necessary permits and approvals, the construction phase of the project is planned to begin in 2025 and conclude by the end of that year or in the first quarter of 2026. It is expected that the installation of machinery and equipment will commence in the final quarter of 2025, and production will start by the first quarter of 2026.
