EU Weighs Import Cap on Chinese Hybrid Cars
Original: EU Plans Import Cap on Chinese Hybrid Cars to Protect Sector
The European Union is preparing a cap on imports of Chinese hybrid vehicles, according to Bloomberg, in a bid to shield European carmakers from a surge of cheaper Chinese competition. The measure would mark an escalation of Brussels' trade defences beyond existing tariffs on Chinese-built electric cars. The plan is likely to strain trade relations between Brussels and Beijing.
Why now: It signals a fresh EU trade escalation against Chinese car imports, affecting major automakers and consumers.
