AUTOTORINO DOUBLES IN MILAN

The Chinese brand is imported and distributed by Car Turin which, a few months after the launch of the showroom in the Duomo, opened a second BYD dealership in the Milanese capital. The 71st headquarters of the group in our country is located through Cassinis 23 – in the south-eastern region – and it has been developed in several levels, including one provided only for electric models. It also organizes official sales and support services for all Chinese brand models. “With this new headquarters we are keeping an important piece of the project with BYD and continuing Autotorino’s roots in Milan. Using the Chinese brand, which is based on innovative technologies, we have created a synergy that expands our offering to those who, like us, want to be part active and bring change to mobility aimed at reducing the local impact,” comments Mattia Vanini, vice president of Autotorino Group.
