Reuters reports that Chinese automaker Changan is holding active discussions with European manufacturers about producing vehicles in Europe. Changan President Zhao Fei made the statement on Monday.
The company plans to disclose the factory site and its local partners by the end of this year, Zhao said. Changan is targeting European production capacity of 180,000 vehicles by 2028, rising to 350,000 units by 2030.
why it matters
Local manufacturing could support Changan’s expansion in the European market. For European automakers, the talks may point to possible cooperation with a Chinese manufacturer as competition across the sector intensifies.
