The three Chinese automakers singled out by the European Union in its anti-subsidy probe have sought and received additional hearings with regulators from the bloc as Beijing and Brussels continue to negotiate ahead of a November deadline to finalize the tariffs.

SAIC Motor Corp., the Chinese state-owned manufacturer hit with the highest duty of the three, at 37.6%, said in a filing Monday that the European Commission had conducted a hearing on July 19, as SAIC had requested.
