Chinese Automakers Crank Up Sales of Cars With Combustion Engines in Europe

Chinese electric vehicles are losing momentum in Europe, but the nation’s automakers are selling more cars than ever in the region by throttling up deliveries of hybrids and combustion engine-powered models.

The number of Chinese-brand cars registered across Europe hit record levels in the first three months of the year, exceeding 150,000 vehicles, according to figures provided by Dataforce, which tracks auto sales. The monthly total hit an all-time high in March.
