WARSAW, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese carmakers are expected to expand their presence in Europe in the coming years, thanks to their strong production capacity and early move into electric vehicles, a Polish auto industry leader has said.
Jakub Farys, president of the Polish Automotive Industry Association, made the remarks in an interview published Tuesday by the Polish Press Agency.
Chinese automakers, supported by long-term investment in research and technology, have become major global producers, Farys said, noting, "Chinese manufacturers began producing electric cars more than a decade ago to tackle urban smog, and today they are among the global leaders."
Despite the European Commission's tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, their sales in Europe keep rising, Farys said, adding that high energy and labor costs and complex regulations make Europe's auto industry less competitive than that of China and the United States.
Sales of Chinese-made cars in Poland jumped fivefold in the first three quarters of 2025, with over 28,900 new vehicles registered between January and September, compared with about 5,700 a year earlier, the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita reported Tuesday, citing data from the Polish Automotive Industry Association.
Their market share rose from 1.4 percent to 6.8 percent over the same period, the report said.
