Xpeng aims to assemble electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe, a strategic response to the challenging landscape presented by import tariffs. This initiative highlights a growing trend among Chinese EV makers to establish a manufacturing presence within the European Union, thereby reducing costs associated with tariffs.
Why European Manufacturing?
