EU-China Hybrid Vehicle Trade Compromise Reached, Import Cap Set

The EU and China have reached a compromise on hybrid vehicle trade, with China agreeing to export curbs and the EU setting an annual import cap of 350,000 units starting December 1, 2026. This agreement, hailed by both sides as a de-escalation, addresses a loophole exploited by Chinese automakers to avoid EV tariffs. Specifics on tariff adjustments, quotas, and the full implementation timeline remain largely undisclosed.
