EU and China Agree on Cap for Chinese Hybrid Car Imports

In October 2026, the European Union and China reached several agreements on trade in cars, including hybrid and electric vehicles. As part of the deal, the EU will limit imports of Chinese hybrid cars to 350,000 per year.

China's Commerce Ministry described the talks as intensive and said the two sides reached multiple consensus outcomes. The EU said it is planning further trade initiatives in December following the car import agreement.
