China car exports surge amid domestic slump; EU caps hybrid imports

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This surge is driven by demand for electric and hybrid vehicles in markets like Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. However, trade partners, particularly the EU, are implementing measures to curb these imports, including an agreement to cap Chinese hybrid vehicle imports at 350,000 annually to protect their domestic industries.
