President Trump resurrected the American auto industry, the backbone of our economy. We can’t allow it to be overrun by Chinese predators. No Chinese cars on American roads. Period. That’s what my bill w/ @ElissaSlotkin, supported by American industry from @GM to @UAW, does.
Chinese automakers are taking over the European car market: European sales of Chinese plug-in hybrid vehicles surged over +300% YoY in March, to a record ~20% of the European hybrid car market. By comparison, in early 2024, Chinese hybrid sales represented just 2% of the EU hybrid market. This pushed total Chinese car sales in Europe up nearly +100% YoY in March, to a record 140,094 vehicles. Now, Chinese cars make up a record 9.4% of the overall European market, tripling over the last 2 years. Chinese automakers continue to offer some of the most cost-effective vehicles in the market while increasingly matching European brands on technology and features. Europeans are rushing to buy Chinese cars at an unprecedented pace.
