China has become the world's largest consumer of production

Chinanews.com Shanghai News on May 9 (Xu Jing Wen Min) is the largest Asian here, Shanghai international bicycle exhibition by 20 European motorcycles importers and part of the Chinese enterprises to participate in the European association for light electric vehicles (LEVAEUROPE) represented in the exhibition, said after the eu's import registration action do not represent the anti-dumping will be set up, In the near future, the association will organize some importers and lawyers to rebut and reply to the EU side.

Eu customs authorities last week began registering imports of Chinese motorcycles, raising the risk of eventual tariffs. Yao Li, president of Tailing Group, China's third largest e-bike maker, said the company will not change its international strategy because of the EU anti-dumping investigation on motorcycles. The company will set up a European company in the near future, and next plans to manufacture e-bikes in the European Union.

“ As an enterprise with international strategy, the EU anti-dumping investigation has a great impact on us. However, our internationalization strategy will not be terminated by the EU anti-dumping investigation. ” Yao said the company has decided to set up a European headquarters in the Netherlands to start the motorcycle related import and export trade. The next step will be to manufacture and assemble the bikes in the European Union. The company is still investigating the production site in Europe.

In May last year, TSMC executives said they planned to increase the proportion of overseas sales from less than 5% to around 30% within three years. In the short term, they would focus on Europe and Southeast Asia as the main overseas markets.

It is understood that the EU 2050 emission reduction strategy goal has been clear: by 2050, the EU will reduce emissions by 80-90% compared with 1990. At present, European countries attach great importance to green travel, and the sales of local electric bicycles have doubled in the past two years. Yao Li believes that although Europe is still not an important overseas market for China's motorcycle industry and its export share is still relatively small, it has great potential for future development and Chinese companies must seize this market.

In October, the European Union launched an anti-dumping investigation into Chinese e-bikes. The European Light Electric Vehicle Association has previously submitted a request to the European Commission for an opinion from the European Organisation of Electric Vehicle Importers, which has been approved. This means that the EU will have to consult the European Organisation of Electric Vehicle Importers on key issues in the case.

Hu Kai Tie, head of the China region of the European Light Electric Vehicle Association, said that according to the arrangement of the EU side, the EU will announce a provisional tax decision around July 20, and the EU will announce the final result of the anti-dumping investigation between October and January next year. He believes that the EU anti-dumping investigation against Chinese motorcycles stems from the local protection of local enterprises in EU countries.

Statistics show that by the end of 2017, China had become the world's largest producer and consumer of electric vehicles, with an annual capacity of more than 33 million and a social ownership of 250 million. However, while the production and sales rank first in the world, overcapacity has also become a problem troubling the development of the industry. In this context, it has become an inevitable trend for electric vehicles to go abroad and enter the international market. (finish)
