The EU plans to cap Chinese hybrid car imports at 350,000 annually from December to comply with WTO rules and limit market share growth. The quota will apply equally to all countries, rise 6% annually, and run for four years, aiming to reduce Chinese hybrid imports from a projected 800,000 in 2026 to about 350,000 in the first year.
