China uses subsidies extensively to take a leading role in the global markets of green-tech products such as battery electric vehicles and wind turbines. Against the background of the current EU investigations into Chinese subsidies in these sectors, this article takes a careful look at the Chinese subsidy system and provides new data on direct government subsidies to leading Chinese producers of electric cars and wind turbines. Extensive government support has allowed Chinese companies to scale up rapidly, to dominate the Chinese market and to expand into foreign markets. The article concludes that the EU should use its strong bargaining power due to the single market to induce the Chinese government to abandon the most harmful subsidies.

From "flying cars" to robots and self-driving buses, here are some of the innovations spotted at this week's Munich auto fair, IAA Mobility, one of the world's biggest: 'Give cars wings' Chinese brands showcased their efforts to create "flying cars", small electric aircraft powered by multiple rotors designed for short journeys.GAC's flying car unit Govy meanwhile showed off its AirCab, a two-seater self-driving electric aircraft with a top-speed of 120 km/h and a range of up to 30 kilometres.

Ejecutivos de GAC, Chery, BYD y Xpeng afirman que han llegado 'para quedarse', acelerando planes de producción y desarrollo local en Europa.

MUNICH (Reuters) -Chinese car makers are making inroads in Europe and executives say they are in the region to stay, underscoring a key reversal as brands from BYD to SAIC take market share on a continent where they once struggled to make sales. At this week's IAA Mobility car show in Munich, China's auto firms - facing a tough price war at home - were increasingly bullish about their plans for Europe, dominated still by local brands such as Volkswagen and Renault. "Everything we do starts with the needs of European users," said GAC's president of international operations Wei Haigang as the Chinese automaker showed off the Aion V electric SUV that will start sales in Poland, Portugal and Finland this month, and the Aion UT set to go on sale in Europe next year.

Prominent global automakers showcased their latest models at the Munich car show, including new EVs and lower-cost vehicles. Here's what they said.

BMW said its iX3, the first model in its all-electric Neue Klasse series which was launched earlier in September, will be sold in Europe from March 2026 at a price of 68,900 euros ($80,700). Franco-Italian carmaker Stellantis will no longer exclusively produce EVs as part of its target through 2030, Jean-Philippe Imparato, head of enlarged Europe and European brands, said. The B05 will be delivered in Europe from the second quarter of 2026 after its launch in China later this year, and will come in six colours.
