The European Union Plans Measures To Strengthen The Electric Vehicle Industry And Reduce Dependence On China For Battery And Automotive Technology.
The European Commission announced new measures to strengthen the electric car industry on the continent. The initiative aims to boost local production of vehicles and batteries, as well as protect European manufacturers from competition with China. The official announcement from the European Union will be made on March 5, when the “Action Plan” will be presented.
China has been expanding its presence in the European automotive market. However, until Chinese companies establish factories in the region, the European Union (EU) has decided to impose tariffs on the import of Chinese electric cars. This measure has already impacted the sales of these manufacturers on the continent.
Europe’s Strategy To Combat China
To encourage demand for electric vehicles made in Europe, the European Commission will introduce new incentives. In addition, the plan includes measures to strengthen local battery production. This sector accounts for between 30% and 40% of the value of an average electric car.

The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.

The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.

Fiat works miracles in the Brazilian market, lowers the price of its 0 km hatch to R$ 69,990, reestablishes the model as the cheapest car in the country, and reignites the battle against Kwid and C3.
The project was developed after a “strategic dialogue” between European authorities and companies in the automotive sector. According to information from Reuters, the new guidelines will apply to all 27 EU member countries. One of the main focuses will be the renewal of corporate fleets. Data shows that this niche represents 60% of annual new car sales in Europe.
The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) states that sales of electric models have stagnated.
The main reason would be the lack of adequate infrastructure for charging these vehicles. It is expected that the European plan will address this issue. Another difficulty pointed out by the industry is the scarcity of affordable models, which hinders large-scale adoption.
The document from the European Commission recognizes that these actions are urgent. The local industry could lose market share to Chinese brands if there is no intervention. In addition, the EU aims to attract new companies specialized in battery production. Strengthening this sector is strategic to ensure competitiveness.
The plan also includes financial measures to ease the costs for automakers. One of the possibilities being considered is the relaxation of environmental fines. Currently, brands that exceed the allowed emissions limits can be penalized up to 15 billion euros. Relaxing these rules would help the industry adapt to the new scenario.
Great Commercial Dispute In The Old Continent
The new guidelines arrive at a time of intense trade dispute. The imposition of tariffs on Chinese vehicles has generated tensions between the European Union and the Beijing government.
At the same time, European manufacturers are seeking alternatives to maintain their competitiveness against the advance of Asian automakers.
With the official announcement scheduled for the coming days, the automotive sector is awaiting details on the implementation of the plan. The expectation is that the measures will encourage local production and make the European market more attractive for investments in the electric mobility segment.

OS CARROS ELÉTRICOS SÃO UMA REALIDADE QUE TALVEZ ACHAVAMOS QUE NÃO PASSARIA DOS FILMES DE FICÇÃO. HOJE COM O AVANCO DA TECNOLOGIA E UM OLHAR MAIS CUIDADOSO PARA O AQUECIMENTO GLOBAL, OS CARROS ELÉTRICOS TENDEM AOS POUCOS TOMAR CONTA DO TRÁFEGO TERRESTRE MUNDIAL. ENTÃO NÃO SOMENTE COMBATER O AVANÇO CHINÊS NESSE SEGUIMENTO COMO TAMBÉM PROPORCIONAR A INDÚSTRIA U.E SE TORNAR FORTE INTERNAMENTE. ESSA MEDIDA PODE OBRIGAR A CHINA A PROCURAR SEU MERCADO CONSUMIDOR EM OUTRAS REGIÕES MUNDO A FORA, O QUE TAMBÉM VAI CAUSAR AS MESMAS TANTO PARA U.E QUANTO PARA OS PAISES ONDE ELA SE INSTALA,”CHINA”. NÃO É NOVIDADE QUE ESSA É UMA FORMA QUE MUITOS PAÍSES USAM PARA PROTEJER SEU COMERCIO INTERNO E EXTERNO, MAS SÓ PODERÁ SABER SE TAL MEDIDA FOI ACERTIVA QUANTO O SEU PRÓPRIO COMERCIO RESPONDER.
Demorou…..o mundo não precisa deles a tecnologia que ai existe não foi criada pela China eles só pegaram idéias prontas e usou sem pagar os Roialties, nem patentes eles tem. Engana-se quem ens que eles são uma potência…..são emergentes como nós.
Enquanto nossa gente prioriza pular carnaval, eles priorizam o trabalho. Isso faz toda diferença.
Emergentes??? Kkkkkkkkk
