EU sees China hybrid exports cut by over half; Beijing says they can grow
EU trade commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said on October 9 that an understanding to moderate Chinese hybrid and plug-in hybrid exports to the EU opens the prospect of cutting them by more than half. China's Commerce Ministry says the arrangement builds upward from the 302,000 hybrids the EU imported from China in 2025. The final decision lies at the European Council on October 15–16.
