MIIT has launched a year-long quality campaign aimed at the trade-off behind China's 18 to 24 month development cycles, saying aggressive new technology is reaching production cars without enough testing. Inspectors have already visited XPeng, GAC Aion, NIO, Chery and JAC plants and pulled vehicles and battery packs for independent testing.
Battery-electric cars took 98.7% of Norway's new passenger car registrations in August 2026, a monthly record. The total market shrank 3.4% at the same time, which is why OFV now frames further emissions cuts as a question about the old fleet rather than about new-car sales.
Volkswagen is running a feasibility study into selling models developed by its Chinese operations in Europe, and building them at underused European plants rather than importing them. Zwickau has been named as a possible site. Six candidate models have been reported, none of them confirmed.
China's car market runs on a handful of giant groups, each fielding a stack of brands. Here is who owns what - the parent companies, the sub-brands, the Huawei alliance, and why the chart keeps changing.
Norway sells almost nothing but electric cars, and never paid a purchase subsidy to get there. The tax structure that did it, year by year, and how it ends in 2028.
The Volkswagens sold in China are built by two companies, and one of them is Chinese. That arrangement started in 1983 as a condition of entry, and it has since produced badges that exist nowhere else: Jetta, Wuling, and AUDI in block capitals with no rings. Who holds which half, which brands the ventures invented for themselves, and which of the old partnerships have quietly ended.
Xpeng (小鹏汽车, XPeng Inc.) is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou. It is one of the country’s larger EV start-ups and has built its identity around in-house development of autonomous-driving software, processing chips, and electric powertrains rather than buying these systems from suppliers.
The company’s range covers most mainstream segments: the P-series sedans, the G-series SUVs, the X9 MPV, and more recently a push into extended-range powertrains alongside its battery-electric core. Models are built on Xpeng’s SEPA (Smart Electric Platform Architecture), now in its 3.0 generation with an 800V electrical system.
The GX is the brand’s flagship SUV - a six-seat, full-size model that, unusually, is offered in both battery-electric and extended-range forms on the same platform. Its launch drew exceptional demand in China, with tens of thousands of paid orders booked within hours of going on sale.
