BYD Pushes to Be First Chinese Member of Europe’s Car Lobby

BYD Co. is in talks to join Europe’s car lobby group, a move that would give the Chinese automaker a voice in the region where it faces tariffs on its electric-vehicle imports.

The world’s largest seller of EVs has applied to become a member of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, a spokesperson for the lobby confirmed following a Bloomberg News inquiry. A decision on its entry hasn’t been made, they added.
