The news of tariffs on imports of Chinese electric cars into Europe has begun to shake the automotive market of the Old Continent, with Asian brands expressing disappointment at the decision taken by the European Commission. Among these there is also MG Motor, a historic English brand controlled by the giant SAIC which has within its range for example the MG ZS EV and the MG4.
MG and the disappointment against the duties
“In response to the European Commission’s (EC) announcement that it intends to impose tariffs on imports of 100% electric vehicles (BEVs)* from China, MG Motor Europe expressed disappointment at the size of these tariffs of up to 38.1%. – we read in the note released to the media by MG Motor.
The other models and the appeal to the EU
The brand, however, tries to look at the glass half full, underlining how the expected duties will not affect the rest of the cars in the brand’s line-up: “However, it is important to underline that any confirmation of the measure will not impact in any way the other MG models, those with petrol propulsion (ICE), HEV and PHEV, nor the supply of spare parts. In particular, the ZS, HS/eHS and MG3 models keep their positioning and price unchanged. While waiting for the situation to be defined, MG invites all its customers to refer to the MG Store network with which it promptly shares all available updates. MG hopes that the European Commission will carefully evaluate its decision and the impact it would have and calls for a constructive dialogue with partners in the global automotive industry, including China, to find solutions together that promote fair competition and development. sustainable.”
