The BYD Yangwang U9 Extreme has been considered the world's fastest production car since September. Now it has also smashed the record for the fastest

Build Your Dreams (BYD) has set itself the ambitious target of selling 50,000 cars alone in Germany next year and since their current offerings are unlikely to achieve that, they have come up with a new estate car tailored to European tastes. BYD is the world's biggest EV brand but the Seal 6 DM-i Touring shows that the Chinese manufacturer has not given up on the internal combustion engine either.

Europe's car industry faces an acute demand shock from Chinese overcapacity & US tariffs. Instead of bailouts & regulatory rollbacks, member-states should co-ordinate buy-European EV subsidies & revive internal demand.

Europe’s car industry faces a perfect storm. Chinese car exports are surging, European producers are being squeezed out of global markets, US tariffs are rising, and domestic demand remains 20% below pre-pandemic levels. Instead of sliding into a costly muddle of regulatory rollbacks, bailouts, and fragmented national subsidies, the EU should harness its single market - 450 million consumers and a vast corporate sector - to drive demand for Europe-made vehicles. That means co-ordinating consumer subsidies with a buy-European clause, applying it to both private and corporate fleets, and using it as a platform for reciprocal EV-subsidy agreements with trusted trade partners. A window for action is open: Germany, France, Italy, and Spain all need to renew their EV-support schemes in the coming months. Together, they represent 70% of EU car registrations—and could launch broader European coordination.
