@cgtneurope: Chinese automakers are making a major push into Europe at this year’s IAA. But it’s not just about selling vehicles. More Chinese companies are looking to build a long-term presence in the European market. Autonomous-driving firm Neolix is opening its European headquarters in Luxembourg and working with European partners on a year-long RoboVan trial in Brussels. Meanwhile, BYD and FOTON are expanding their European operations through manufacturing, investment and partnerships. The moves come as trade tensions grow, with the EU imposing additional tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and European automakers facing tougher competition. For Chinese companies, Europe is increasingly becoming a market not just to sell into, but to build in. #IAA#China#Europe#Automotive
