BYD and Hedin Mobility Group agree on transition of Swedish distribution operations to support further growth
MÖLNDAL, 2 July, 2025 – BYD and Hedin Mobility Group have agreed to transition the distribution of BYD vehicles and spare parts in the Swedish market to BYD Sweden AB. As part of the next phase of development in the Swedish market, BYD will assume direct responsibility for distribution activities. This decision has been jointly made to support BYD’s long-term growth strategy in Europe and reflects the brand’s commitment to further expand its presence.
Under the agreement, Hedin Electric Mobility AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hedin Mobility Group and currently appointed as the distributor of BYD passenger vehicles and spare parts in Sweden, will conclude its current role as distributor in the Swedish market.
This transition builds on the successful introduction of the BYD brand in Sweden and the establishment of a solid customer base and strong dealer network achieved through the collaboration between BYD and Hedin Mobility Group.
Following this change, Hedin Automotive Sweden will remain an authorised retailer of BYD, continuing to serve Swedish customers in close collaboration with BYD Sweden AB. Hedin Automotive is also an important retail partner for BYD in the German market. The parties look forward to continued collaboration to deliver an excellent customer experience.
“As a long-term partner to BYD, we have worked together to successfully introduce the brand to Swedish customers and establish a strong foundation for future growth. We fully support BYD in taking this next step to execute its strategy in Europe, and we are proud to continue as a retail partner in both Sweden and Germany to contribute to further strengthening the brand’s position in these important markets”, says Anders Hedin, CEO and founder of Hedin Mobility Group.
The distribution agreement terminates as of today. However, Hedin Mobility Group will continue to support BYD during a transition period of up to three months.
