The event underscored how quickly the global auto industry is changing as Chinese companies expand their reach and compete aggressively for European customers.
Chinese EV makers are sending a loud message about their ambitions. Their growing presence at one of the world’s premier auto shows highlights a shift in the competitive landscape, with Chinese manufacturers leveraging cost advantages and rapid innovation to challenge traditional players.
