At the 2026 Global Chinese Automobile Elite Federation Annual Conference and “China Embraces the World” Automobile Industry International Development Forum held from October 29 to 30, Roland Berger's partner Eric Esperance predicted that in 2030, Chinese car companies will sell 2.7 million vehicles in Europe, of which 37% will achieve local production, and production capacity will advance through the dual path of green space investment and revitalization of idle production capacity in Europe. Regarding the overseas layout of automobile supply chain companies, he suggested that Chinese car companies could adopt a stepped implementation path, such as following joint ventures with core customers and gradually expanding the local European customer base. At the same time, he suggested that enterprises should face up to the core differences in decision-making rhythm, communication logic, and work philosophy between China and Europe. He stressed that the EU tariff policy and localized content rules have put substantial structural pressure on promoting deep localized operations, which is the only way for Chinese car companies to achieve large-scale development in the European market.
