GermanyThe Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has lost its key manager in Germany, Maria Grazia Davino, who has moved to Ford after less than two years with the company. Davino previously led BYD's operations in Germany but reportedly had a difficult relationship with her superior, Stella Li, who oversees all international operations at BYD.
