Paris Motor Show Highlights: Chinese Automakers Adjust European Product Strategies, Advance Local R&D

The 2026 Paris International Motor Show opened on October 12. As a key stage for observing global auto industry trends and competing for the future, this year's show highlights the ongoing transformation of the global new energy vehicle sector. Chinese automakers including Changan, Dongfeng, Geely, Chery, BYD, and Seres showcased new energy models and cutting-edge technologies. The show makes clear that Chinese carmakers are not only presenting their product technologies but also signaling a systematic plan for the European market: introducing differentiated powertrain lineups tailored to each country's energy refueling and charging conditions, refining cockpit experiences, completing localized chassis tuning, expanding sales and service networks, and deepening industrial collaboration in R&D and manufacturing. Each company, based on its own development pace, is steadily advancing full-chain localization in the European market. (China Securities Journal)
