    Chinese EV Manufacturers Steal the Spotlight at 2024 Paris Motor Show

    Chinese EV Manufacturers Shine at 2024 Paris Motor Show

    The 2024 Paris Motor Show kicked off on Monday, drawing in 500,000 visitors over its seven-day run. A key highlight this year is the strong presence of nine Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, who are showcasing their latest models as they expand their reach into the French and European markets.


    Chinese EV Brands Making an Impact

    Major Chinese brands such as BYD, Hongqi, GAC, and AITO have secured prominent positions in Pavilion 5, showcasing cutting-edge models and innovations. BYD introduced the Sealion 7, a mid-size electric SUV, and debuted its luxury Yangwang U8 SUV in the French market. Meanwhile, Xpeng revealed its P7+, which it claims to be “the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) vehicle,” starting at approximately $29,600.

    Leapmotor also introduced the B10 model, a compact electric SUV developed in partnership with Stellantis. The B10 will be manufactured in Poland for European customers, with Leapmotor aiming for 500 sales points across Europe by the end of 2025.

    Rising Chinese Market Share in Europe

    China’s presence in the European EV market has grown significantly. In 2020, Chinese-made EVs accounted for 3.5% of new registrations in the EU, which surged to 27% by the second quarter of 2024. This rapid growth has prompted the EU to implement tariffs on China-produced EVs to protect its domestic carmakers. In response, several Chinese manufacturers are exploring options to establish production facilities within Europe to bypass these new tariffs.

    BYD is already expanding its European operations, with its European head of communications, Jean-Briac Dalibard, highlighting BYD’s commitment to research and development. Dalibard noted that the company has over 100,000 engineers and approves 15 new patents every day, positioning BYD to compete with Europe’s established auto brands.

    Competition Intensifies as European Sales Decline

    While Chinese EV manufacturers continue to grow, traditional European automakers are facing challenges. BMW and Mini, for example, saw a 30% drop in sales in China last quarter, with EVs and hybrids now dominating over half of the Chinese auto market.

    Czech automaker Skoda acknowledged the stiff competition from Chinese brands at the show, noting their attractive pricing and smaller, more affordable electric cars. As competition heats up, European brands are also grappling with the phasing out of government incentives for green vehicles due to budget constraints.

    Paris Motor Show Highlights

    The 2024 Paris Motor Show occupies a massive 70,000 square meters of indoor space across five halls, with an additional 15,000 square meters of outdoor exhibits. Despite the ongoing transition to EVs, European brands face pressure as Chinese competitors bring more affordable, innovative electric models to the forefront of the market.
