BYD Defends Safety Practices After Second Work Dies At Hungary Factory Construction Site

A second worker has died at the construction site of BYD’s electric vehicle factory in Szeged, Hungary, CNBC has learned.

 

The fatality — which follows a death at the site in February — comes after BYD executive vice president Stella Li earlier this month denied allegations of labor abuse at the site, and told CNBC the automaker welcomed labor inspectors. Shenzhen-based BYD did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the latest fatality.
