De la legendarul Citroën 2CV la noile mașini chinezești. Marile surprize ale Salonului Auto de la Paris

The Paris Auto Show has opened with new model launches, including an electric version of the iconic Citroën 2CV, highlighting the growing competition between European and Chinese automakers. Stellantis showcases six new models and nine concepts, while around 20 Chinese brands, including BYD and Chery, aim to expand in Europe. The Chinese auto industry faces challenges, prompting manufacturers to seek international markets, particularly in Europe. Discussions are underway for local production, with Changan and BYD considering factories in Europe. The EU has recently agreed to limit hybrid car imports from China, a move welcomed by European manufacturers, who are also preparing new regulations to ensure a portion of components are made in Europe.
