Rail freight operators could win big from a surge of Chinese electric vehicles into Europe, with Shenzhen-based BYD outselling Tesla in the market for the first time.

Figures from Jato Dynamics for April show a 359% year-on-year leap in BYD’s Europe sales, as it registered some 7,231 new vehicles over the period to surpass Tesla, which has led the EV market in Europe for years.
