Valeo CEO Christophe Perillat warned at the IAA that automotive equipment produced in China can be up to 30 percent cheaper and that cheap Chinese imports could undermine competitiveness and jobs in Europe. Valeo stresses that it produces locally but is calling on the European Commission for support and for minimum shares of European content in vehicles sold in the EU to secure production in Europe. The company notes that the declining share of European parts further burdens the industry, since the shift to electric vehicles has already reduced jobs. » Mais em de.investing.com
