Deep dives
Chinese Car Makers and Competitive Landscape
Chinese car manufacturers believe they are often misrepresented in the media, arguing that their competitive edge stems from extensive experience navigating the highly challenging domestic market. Companies like Xpeng highlight their commitment to quality and technology rather than just being viewed as low-cost alternatives. They emphasize that their achievements come from competing with major global players, which has helped refine their operational efficiency and product offerings. This competitive spirit is fundamental to their strategy as they aim to penetrate European markets while addressing perceptions of being subsidized by the Chinese government.
