China's "intelligently made" cars battle "globalization"

China's auto exports still maintain a strong growth posture. On October 11, the latest data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed that in September this year, 301,000 vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of 73.9%. Among them, 50,000 new energy vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of more than double. From January to September, 389,000 new energy vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of more than double.

    Among the many destinations where Chinese cars are speeding up overseas, the European market is being mentioned more and more frequently. A few days ago, NIO held the NIO Berlin 2022 event at Berlin's Tempurdu Concert Hall, announcing the start of providing services in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden. This is also NIO's further business in the European market after entering the Norwegian market last year.

NIO will directly serve users in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, and will establish a sales and service network. NIO’s NIO Center in Berlin is about to open, while NIO is building NIO Center and NIO Space in cities such as Hamburg, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Gothenburg.

    Lynk & Co has opened a total of 9 offline experience stores in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Gothenburg, Sweden, and Stockholm. It is reported that every Lynk & Co experience store in Europe has broken through the functions of viewing and testing cars in traditional dealerships, and is committed to creating an “experienced car retail community”.

    Cui Dongshu said that the export of my country's own brands has now entered a new stage, that is, it has entered a period of opportunity for the development of new energy, and the export of self-owned brands mainly based on new energy and the export of fuel vehicles have undergone tremendous changes. In his view, in terms of fuel vehicles, domestic technology is still lagging behind compared with European and American countries, while new energy technology is obviously in a relatively advanced state, so China has a lot of room for exporting new energy vehicles.
