BYD, DLL to offer e-truck, e-bus financing in Europe

BYD has announced a strategic partnership with DLL to provide financing solutions for its electric trucks and buses across Europe. DLL will serve as BYD’s strategic partner for retail financing and dealer stock financing, with operations launching in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Ireland, Poland and the UK.

The companies say the partnership will help make the transition to zero-emission fleets more accessible and cost-effective for operators. BYD says financing solutions will extend across the wider European region in the future as part of its broader expansion plan.

BYD says it is the market leader in electric buses in Europe, with more than 8,000 e-buses in operation or on order in over 160 cities. The company is now expanding its presence in the European commercial vehicle market with electric trucks, offered through both direct sales and a growing dealer network.

In a statement, Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD, said: “Partnering with DLL will ensure our customers have access to flexible financing options, making the shift to lower-emission fleets easier and more affordable. This collaboration reinforces our long-term commitment to supporting Europe’s green transformation, especially in the public transport and commercial vehicle sectors.”

Mike Kinka, President of DLL’s Construction, Transportation and Industrial business, added: “By becoming BYD’s strategic partner for trucks, buses and forklift trucks, we are helping accelerate the adoption of sustainable transport solutions across Europe.”

BYD has also opened its first dedicated Battery Service Centre in the UK for commercial and passenger vehicle batteries.
