China's Trade War With U.S. Stalling European Car Expansion Plans
Changan Automobile, Guangzhou Automobile and BYD Delaying Their Plans for Europe
In light of the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, Chinese automakers are postponing their plans to expand into Europe. Three major automakers, Changan Automobile, Guangzhou Automobile and BYD, have all announced delays to their European expansion plans due to the uncertainty caused by the tariffs.
The U.S. has imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, and China has retaliated with tariffs on $110 billion worth of U.S. goods. This has led to a sharp decline in trade between the two countries, and has also created uncertainty for businesses on both sides.
Changan Automobile, which had planned to start selling cars in Europe in 2020, has now delayed its plans until 2021. Guangzhou Automobile, which had planned to start selling cars in Europe in 2019, has also delayed its plans until 2020. BYD, which had planned to start selling cars in Europe in 2018, has now delayed its plans indefinitely.
