According to market sources, Tiriac Auto is currently in talks with BYD, but no contract has been signed, yet.
BYD is also in talks with more than 60 dealerships nationwide.
The Chinese carmaker has recruited Andrei Duica for the position of deputy country manager for Romania and Bulgaria at BYD Europe.
BYD is thus entering Romania directly, with its own importer and it does not resort to a local partner.
In line with market data, BYD would target a network made up of over 20 dealerships in Romania and operations should start in April.
