Current plans for Chinese factories to set up in Europe
18 September 2025

Even before the introduction of surcharges on imported electric cars from China, several Chinese automakers announced plans to expand into the European market through assembly plants to be built or acquired. Here are the confirmed or ongoing projects:

1. BYD is completing construction of its Hungarian plant in Szeged , which is expected to roll out its first models next fall. Four different models for the European market could be assembled at this plant in 2026-2027, including the Dolphin Surf (B segment). A second plant is planned in Turkey, and a third is reportedly under consideration in Italy.

2. Chery has been using the former Nissan plant in Barcelona (Spain) since the end of 2024. Several models for the European market are assembled there, under the Ebro and Omoda brands.

3. MG of the SAIC group is the leading Chinese seller in Europe . This carmaker therefore plans to manufacture its models for the European market in Europe. It is actively looking for a production site, and Spain is apparently the favorite.

4. Geely plans to assemble its Smart and Polestar models in Europe for the European market. Its choice could fall on Hungary, the Czech Republic, or Slovakia. According to the latest news, Slovakia has been chosen. The plant is expected to open in 2028.

5. Dongfeng has still not abandoned its plan to produce cars in Italy . And Nissan is opening the doors of its British plant to it.

6. Xpeng plans to assemble its models in Europe . This carmaker could take advantage of its ties with VW to use some of its factories, particularly those that VW plans to close (Osnabrück and Dresden).

IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volkswagen: ID2 battery electric city car (launch planned for 2026)
05 September 2025
- The all-electric Volkswagen ID2 (B-segment) will be unveiled at the 2025 Munich Motor Show. It is an “affordable city car” (announced at less than 25,000 euros), based on the Volkswagen Group's MEB Entry platform, located in the carmaker's range below the ID3, ID4 and ID5. It is in fact the all-electric counterpart of the VW Polo. This model, which aims to democratize electromobility within the Volkswagen Group, competes with the Renault 5 E-Tech, Peugeot e-208, Citroën e-C3, Opel e-Corsa, Fiat Grande Panda and Lancia Ypsilon.

- Its engine, with a maximum power of 226 hp in the top-of-the-range version, is coupled with two batteries of your choice. Two batteries are provided, the first of 38 kWh (LFP) for the entry-level versions, the second of 56 kWh (NMC) for the top-of-the-range versions, allowing a range of up to 440 km WLTP for the most powerful version.

- A SUV ID2 X version (see specific Inovev analysis) with a more urban SUV focus is planned for the end of 2026 and a sportier ID2 GTI version is planned for 2027. The ID2 and ID2 GTI will be produced at the Spanish site in Martorell, alongside the Cupra Raval. The ID2 X will be produced in Pamplona, alongside the other battery electric SUV based on the MEB Entry platform, the Skoda Epiq.

- The Volkswagen ID2 (including the ID2 GTI and ID2 X) will have a compact format (Polo type), roominess close to that of the Golf, and a more classic design than previous concepts.

- Inovev expects production of 62,000 units of the ID2 by 2030.
