China's auto exports are on track to exceed $150 billion in 2026, with electric vehicles and new energy vehicles (NEVs) driving a 54% surge in the first half; NEVs now represent 46% of total auto exports and have penetrated European and Latin American markets, signalling a shift from affordability-based competition to technology-led export dominance.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Electric Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles.
