EU PHEV Curbs to Pressure China Exports Short-Term, Cui Dongshu Says

TREE NEWS reports: Cui Dongshu, head of the China Passenger Car Association’s secretariat at the China Automobile Dealers Association, said the EU’s new restrictions on Chinese plug-in hybrid vehicle exports will weigh on shipments in the short term but cannot shake China’s overall new-energy vehicle export base. He said Chinese PHEV products have moved from costing more than fuel cars to price parity and now below it, and are globally leading on technology, fuel consumption and overall value. Chinese PHEV exports to the EU surged in 2025-2026, bringing competitive pressure, he added.
