Salvador Caetano Auto has now announced that it has signed a strategic agreement to import and distribute 100% electric trucks from BYD Trucks into Portugal, with a planned launch on the national market in the last quarter of 2024.

The BYD group, which is dedicated to the production of 100% electric heavy vehicles, is a pioneer in the deployment of electric heavy vehicles for commercial use. Electric medium and heavy goods vehicles designed and manufactured by BYD Trucks are used in distribution, logistics and delivery operations, i.e. in shipyard and distribution center operations, food and beverage transportation, delivery services at home and other distribution and logistics services.

“This agreement reinforces the relationship between BYD and Salvador Caetano Auto and will allow us to offer the Portuguese market 100% electric and technologically advanced heavy-duty vehicles with our strong distribution,” said Sérgio Ribeiro, head of Salvador Caetano Auto.
