Part of the agreement between the European Union and China is to be a quota on the import of 350,000 hybrid, plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid vehicles into the European market. The measure concerns vehicles that will be able to enter from China within the set volume. teraz.sk ↗
According to Šefčovič, through these steps the European Union wants to strengthen the position of domestic manufacturers and secure conditions for their further development.

The Commission is also announcing specific measures intended to help European manufacturers respond to the market situation. Their aim is to support automakers' ability to offer vehicles that meet customers' price and quality expectations.
The quota agreement and other measures are part of a broader effort by the European Union to set conditions for trade in Chinese cars in a way that protects European production while responding to the changing competition in the automotive sector.
