The EU and China have finally reached an agreement on hybrid vehicle exports, with China agreeing to limit the number of vehicles exported to the EU to avoid punitive tariffs from the EU. The EU expects China's hybrid vehicle exports to decrease by more than half. According to a plan document from within the EU cited by Bloomberg, restrictions on Chinese hybrid vehicle imports could take effect as early as December 1, with an import cap of 350,000 vehicles in the first year, increasing annually by 6% starting from the second year, and the measure will be implemented for four years.
JPMorgan previously reported that the market share of Chery-branded vehicles in Europe has increased from 1.6% in 2025 to 3.5% in the first eight months of 2026.
