BYD brings additional mobility to Mullingar

Chinese motor brands are certainly well represented in Mullingar with the addition of  Mullingar Autos as a newly appointed retailer of the BYD Brand by importers Motor Distributors Limited (MDL). They join fellow Chinese brand Leapmotor in providing mobility in this busy Midlands town and populous catchment area.

Trading as BYD Mullingar, and operating from its prominently located showrooms at Dublin Bridge, Mullingar, its appointment increases the BYD national dealer network to 16 outlets overall, with a number of further appointments expected to be announced imminently.

Vicky Reilly, BYD Ireland National Sales, commenting on the announcement, said: “A trusted name in the Irish motoring landscape for over half a century, we are delighted to welcome Mullingar Autos – and the extensive expertise they bring – to the BYD dealer network, in a region where no previous representation existed for the brand.”

Steeped in rich motoring heritage, and a previous long-standing dealer partner of MDL, Mullingar Autos is a trusted, independent, family-owned motor retailer with decades of experience proudly serving customers in Westmeath and the Midlands. 

Jim Bourke, Dealer Principal at Mullingar Autos in acknowledging their appointment, said: “With the speed at which the brand is growing, this is a very exciting time for us to become a representative of BYD, and we very much look forward to introducing our customers in the midlands to their attractive range of both fully electric and Super Hybrid vehicles, all of which are available now at our premises.”
