The advantage of Chinese manufacturers in the field of electric cars compared to the traditional automotive giants it is there for all to see. Also from Luca De Meo, CEO of Renault, who spoke during the conference on “Future methods and challenges between network development and growing global instability” organized by the Lombardy Region as part of the G7 transport conference in Milan.
China has the advantage
“I believe that what we are experiencing in the automotive sector we have not seen for at least a hundred years. All technologies are changing with electric – his words reported by Ansa –Basically I think the Chinese have a generation advantage and so now we need to fill this gap. European industry is responding with strong investments.” Losanga's number one reiterated a concept that according to him should be taken into consideration when talking about electric cars: “The place to push the hardest with these vehicles must be the city“.
De Meo and Europe's delay
It is not the first time that De Meo speaks of the gap between Europe and China in terms of electric cars. In fact, already at the end of February, on the occasion of the Geneva Motor Show, he declared: “To create the power and scale that China has achieved with electric vehicles more needs to be done. Europe is a very fragmented continent, and this is the beauty of it, but it is also a fact that slows it down in terms of some types of transitions”. And the reference was undoubtedly to the green transition of the automotive sector.
