A Chinese automaker is using capital to unlock European production capacity and distribution channels. 🇨🇳

On July 23, 2026, Geely and Ford officially signed an agreement in Valencia, Spain, to establish a joint venture. Ford holds a 66% stake, Geely holds 34%. The plant has an annual capacity of approximately 500,000 vehicles — yet in 2025, utilization stood at just 26%. Ford needs to monetize its assets. Geely needs European production capacity. A perfect match.

📌 Why is Geely doing this?
Sixteen years ago, Geely spent $1.8 billion to acquire Volvo from Ford — a "capital-for-brand" play. Sixteen years later, it has come back to Ford — this time for just €221 million, buying European localized production capacity.

The objective is clear: bypass tariffs, shorten delivery lead times, and build European cars in European factories. Geely Vice President Nan Shengliang called it "a milestone in Geely's globalization journey."

💡 Signal
Jessica Caldwell, analyst at Edmunds, hit the nail on the head: "Ford gains scale, Geely gains a tariff‑avoiding shortcut."

Instead of building a factory from scratch, Geely spent €221 million to acquire a mature plant and a professional team of over 4,000 people. Back then, Volvo was "capital for brand." This time, it's "capital for production capacity." Same logic, different phase.

The "last centimeter" challenge for robots has just been solved—by a cross‑industry Chinese company. 🇨🇳

The hand is the final interface between a robot and the real world. Plenty of robots can dance and flip, but stumble when it comes to fine, dexterous tasks. Joyson Electronics—a Chinese company pivoting from automotive components to robotics—is changing that. 🖐️

📌 Who is Joyson Electronics?
A global Tier 1 automotive supplier, with over 30 million vehicle‑grade domain controllers deployed. In 2025, it upgraded from "Automotive Tier 1" to "Automotive + Robotics Tier 1," transplanting its automotive‑grade R&D and mass‑production capabilities directly into the robotics space.

⚙️ From dexterous hand to mass delivery—Joyson's answer:
20 degrees of freedom, with tactile sensing approaching that of a human hand—capable of handling tools and performing precise manipulations

Already in volume production and delivering to leading robotics clients
24/7 stable operation outdoors, with automated charging accuracy exceeding 99%

💡 The takeaway
Many robots can put on a show. Very few can actually get the job done. Joyson is walking the "last centimeter" with production‑ready hardware and proven manufacturing lines. 🛠️

Would you believe that a Chinese company built on cheap cars spent $1.8 billion to buy a century-old Swedish luxury brand? 🇨🇳

That company is Geely. In 2010, it took over Volvo from Ford — a Nordic automaker with decades of engineering heritage. At the time, the global auto industry scoffed: how could a Chinese private carmaker manage a European luxury brand? 🤷

But 16 years later, the joke has become reality.

📊 What are the results?
Volvo's global sales have doubled
Geely's exports now cover 160 countries, targeting 950,000 units in 2026
16 overseas factories, 3 overseas R&D centers
From Volvo to Proton to Lotus — a portfolio of global brands is now in its hands

📌 Where did it win?
Not because it did everything right, but because it bet on the right direction:
To go global, Chinese automakers can't rely on exports alone — they need capital and supply chain integration.

Geely used $1.8 billion to unlock Volvo's brand equity, technology, and global distribution — and then reactivated that system with Chinese cost efficiency and speed. Today, it has become a new template for Chinese automakers going global.

A Spanish company is quietly emerging as the "secret weapon" for Chinese automakers heading to Europe! 🇪🇸🇨🇳

Do you know what Chinese automakers find most challenging when entering the European market?

Regulations. Standards. Certifications. Every single component has to go through the entire approval process again. Every conversation has to bridge six time zones — the time drain alone is staggering! ⏰

But Gestamp says: I've got your back. 🎯

🛠️ Who is Gestamp?
A Spanish automotive parts supplier specializing in body‑in‑white, chassis, and battery enclosures.
Serving the world's leading OEMs, with operations across 24 countries, 115 factories, and 13 R&D centers.
Since entering China in 2007, Gestamp has built 13 factories and 2 R&D centers locally.
From 2021 to 2024, its China revenue grew by 80% to €1.628 billion — making China one of its top three global markets.
Its competitive edge comes from a unique ability: understanding European standards while moving at Chinese speed. 📈

On July 2, Gestamp's Global Technical Director, Geng Lide, made a bold statement at a Shanghai exhibition:
"When Chinese automakers are ready to build factories in Europe, our China team will be the 'bridge' — directly connecting technology, regulations, and production on the ground." 🏭

Gestamp is one of the few Tier 1 suppliers that can truly operate as a "local" player — in China, and in Europe. 💪
The road for Chinese automakers entering Europe is getting smoother — thanks to Gestamp.

Chinese automaker Leapmotor just broke another record — the first Chinese EV startup to break into the top 10 of overall passenger car sales. 🇨🇳

📌 What does this mean?
Over the past decade, EV startups have repeatedly delivered strong results in the new energy segment, but none had ever cracked the overall passenger car sales ranking — a territory long reserved for traditional giants. Leapmotor is the first startup to break that barrier.

📌 How did they do it?
By bringing premium technology down to affordable price points.
Features once reserved for 300,000 RMB vehicles — like 800V fast charging and zero-gravity seats — Leapmotor now offers in the 100,000 RMB segment.
The company manufactures 65% of core component costs in-house, giving it lower costs and greater pricing flexibility than competitors.

📌 What are the results?
New models driving volume: The A10 climbed to third place in monthly overall model sales just four months after launch.
Flagship models holding ground: The D19 took the segment crown for two consecutive months in the large 400,000 RMB SUV category.
Overseas expansion surging: Nearly 100,000 exports in the first half of the year, with 37,900 units sold in Europe — more than all other Chinese EV startups combined.

Leapmotor — China's top-selling EV startup, the first startup to enter the overall passenger car top ten, and the export leader with nearly 100,000 units shipped overseas in the first half ofLeapmotor — China's top-selling EV startup, the first startup to enter the overall passenger car top ten, and the export leader with nearly 100,000 units shipped overseas in the first half of the year.

In ten years, it has proven one thing: with a "good but not expensive" product philosophy, a new brand can bypass the market moats that traditional automakers spent decades building.

⚡ Chinese Technology Is Now Powering Stellantis' EV Sales in Europe!

On July 13, Stellantis reported Q2 shipments: 1.6 million vehicles, up 10% year-on-year. 📊

📌 Where did the growth come from?
🇺🇸 North America: up 38%, driven by fuel-powered models (Jeep, Ram pickups)
🇪🇺 Europe: up 5%, driven by EVs — and the growth largely came from a Chinese partner: Leapmotor 🔋
Just two models — the Leapmotor T03 and B10 — sold 33,000 units in Europe. 🚗💨

🗺️ The significance of this data isn't in the numbers themselves. It's in where they sit.
Five years ago, Chinese automakers were just "contract manufacturers" overseas. 🏭
Three years ago, they started exporting finished vehicles. 🚢
Today, at a century-old European automaker (Stellantis), models powered by Chinese technology are becoming the main driver of EV sales growth — reported in earnings, counted in growth. 📈

This is no longer just "Chinese cars sold to Europe." This is "European cars, built with Chinese technology, sold in Europe." 🇨🇳🤝🇪🇺

How did a Chinese autonomous driving company get nine out of the world's top ten automakers as its clients? 🇨🇳

You may not have heard of Momenta. But chances are, the car you drive — Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, BYD, SAIC — has its intelligent driving system inside.

On July 8, it went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Market value exceeded HK$70 billion! 📊

📌 Who's backing it?
GIC, Fidelity International, BlackRock, Oaktree Capital — some of the world's top investment institutions are placing their bets.
Mercedes-Benz and BYD — two global automotive leaders — are also its shareholders.

📌 What gives it such strong footing?
Over 1 million vehicles equipped with its intelligent driving systems.
Nine of the top ten global automakers are its client.
In just two years, revenue grew from RMB 700 million to RMB 2.4 billion, and gross margin surged from 17% to 71%.

In an industry where most autonomous driving companies burn cash and bleed losses, a Chinese company achieving both scale and financial improvement at the same time — that's rare.

💡 Over the past decade, China's auto story has been about "vehicle exports." But the next chapter is the era of "technology exports" — and suppliers like Momenta are becoming the default choice for global intelligent driving.

At a 3.4% Profit Margin, Which Chinese Automakers Can Still Survive? 🇨🇳

In the first half of 2026, China's passenger car retail sales totaled 8.701 million units, down 20.2% year-on-year.

📊 But here's the real problem: Sales are falling — and profits are falling too.
From January to May this year, the auto industry's profit margin has dropped to just 3.4%. On a 200,000 RMB car, the OEM makes only about 3,000 RMB in profit.

For comparison: CATL posted a net profit of 20.7 billion RMB in Q1 alone — more than the combined profits of several top automakers.

📌 What does this mean?
In the past, Chinese automakers could survive by simply "selling more cars." Now, sales are declining — and so is profitability.
When a car generates only 3,000 RMB in profit, the price war becomes a game of "who can outlast the losses."

The real test for the second half isn't who sells the most. It's who can stay alive — on the edge of a 3.4% profit cliff.

The Good Days for New Energy Vehicles in China Are Over! 🇨🇳

Recently, China's Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration, and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued a notice: starting January 1, 2027, plug-in hybrids, extended-range EVs, and pure electric commercial vehicles will no longer be exempt from the annual vehicle and vessel tax. 🔋

📊 Why This Adjustment?
A decade ago, annual NEV sales were only 12,800 units — tax exemptions cost nearly nothing. By 2025, the market pe*******on rate has exceeded 50% .
A million-yuan plug-in hybrid luxury car pays zero vehicle tax, while a hundred-thousand-yuan family gas car pays several hundred yuan every year. The more mature the market, the harder it is to ignore this tax inequity .

⚠️ The Bigger Issue:
China's road maintenance is heavily dependent on fuel taxes — the national funding gap for ordinary highway maintenance has already reached hundreds of billions of yuan .

NEVs don't burn fuel and don't pay fuel taxes — but they use the same roads. The cost of EVs on the road needs to be covered by someone .

For NEVs, what once relied on state policy support now relies on their own strength. The vehicle and vessel tax is just the first step — a larger tax reform is still to come.

Why Are Chinese Battery Giants Suddenly Flocking to Morocco?
In the past two years, a wave of Chinese battery companies has quietly poured into Morocco. What's driving this surge? Let's break it down.

📊 The Background
Europe wants to build EVs — but it faces a massive gap in battery materials and critical components. Domestic supply can't meet the demand. At the same time, European regulations now require suppliers to check three boxes: proximity, low carbon footprint, and supply chain transparency.
For Chinese companies looking to enter Europe, they need a springboard. Morocco is becoming exactly that.

💡 Why Morocco?
For Chinese firms, entering Europe directly means high barriers, slow certification, and prohibitive costs. Morocco offers a "nearshoring node" — just 14 kilometers from Spain's coast, with deep-sea ports, an established automotive industry, and free-trade zone policies.
Building a factory here puts Chinese suppliers close to European customers — and gives them a runway to gradually navigate the EU's compliance system.

🔋 Which Chinese Companies Are Already In?
Gotion High-Tech — $1.3 billion initial investment, 20 GWh planned capacity, expandable to 100 GWh
BTR — 50,000 tons/year cathode materials plant in Tangier
CNGR — integrated precursor and LFP cathode base in Jorf Lasfar, a joint venture with Morocco's Al Mada fund
Hailiang — $288 million lithium battery copper foil project

💡 The Core Logic
For Chinese supply chain companies eyeing the European market, Morocco is not the final destination — it's the springboard. It doesn't bypass Europe's rules, but it does give Chinese firms a chance to build manufacturing capability right at Europe's doorstep.
