Chinese manufacturer Sunwoda Electronic plans an EV battery factory in Hungary.

According to Reuters, initial investment is CNY1.96bn (US$274.71m).

According to a recent filing with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, funds will be allocated to land acquisition, project construction and equipment procurement.

Sunwoda might be considered a smaller player compared to rival Chinese battery makers but customers include XPeng, Mercedes and Guangzhou Automobile.

Chinese battery suppliers are positioning themselves in Europe, leading to a shake-up of e-mobility supply chains.
