Mercedes: Chinese brands should not pay high taxes

Conclusion zamAt this time, Chinese automobile manufacturers began to make special investments in European countries.

The rise of Chinese automobile manufacturers, whose new brands we start to see every day in Turkey, continues in Europe.

The European Union wants to prevent this rise by imposing additional taxes on Chinese brands.

Mercedes: Chinese brands should not pay high taxes

Speaking at a time when the European Commission is considering increasing import duties on Chinese electric vehicles, Mercedes-Benz boss Ola Kallenius said that Europe should reduce customs duties on electric vehicles imported from China, and that increased competition will force European brands to produce better vehicles. He said he would force it.

Kallenius stated that Chinese companies' export to Europe is a natural stage of competition and that it must be responded to with better products and better technology.

Currently, Chinese electric vehicles face a 10 percent tariff when imported into Europe.

European automakers, on the other hand, pay a 15 percent customs duty when exporting to China.

They fear China will retaliate

The ties of German automobile manufacturers such as China with China are quite strong. These brands are afraid that if the European Commission imposes additional taxes, China will also increase taxes.
