China and EU Agree on Hybrid Vehicle Export Quotas and EU Import Caps
China and the European Union recently held talks on hybrid and electric vehicle trade, agreeing on export quotas that ensure China's hybrid vehicle exports are not lower than other sources. The EU will cap hybrid vehicle imports at 350,000 annually starting December 1, increasing by 6,000 each year over four years, applying to all sources to comply with WTO rules. These measures aim to address trade imbalances and support stable growth for Chinese companies while preventing market flooding with subsidized goods.
