China-based BYD is set to begin operations at its new USD32 million assembly plant in Cambodia’s Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The plant will create 200 jobs and position BYD alongside global automakers like Ford, Toyota, and Hyundai, which already operate in Cambodia. In addition, BYD plans to open two service centers and deploy 200 EV charging stations across the country, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Cambodia’s green mobility goals.
Cambodia registered 2,253 electric vehicles in 2024, up from 313 in 2023. The government aims for 40 per cent of cars and urban buses and 70 per cent of motorbikes to be electric by 2050.
