Chinese car manufacturers sold the fewest electric vehicles in 18 months in Europe, Bloomberg News reported Sunday.
Registrations of Chinese-made cars on the continent fell 48%, a decline for a second straight month, Bloomberg reported, citing data from research company Dataforce.
BYD (HKG:1211, SHE:002594) dethroned SAIC Motors' (SHA:600104) MG as the top Chinese brand in Europe, according to the Bloomberg report citing Jato Dynamics, another firm monitoring the automotive market.
The 65% decline in the number of registrations for MG could be partly explained by the highest additional tariffs set by the European Union on parent SAIC, the report said, citing Jato senior analyst Felipe Munoz.
China's biggest local automakers include Dongfeng Motor Group (SHA:600006, HKG:0489), SAIC Motor, Chongqing Changan Automobile (SHE:000625), BAIC Motor (HKG:1958), Guangzhou Automobile Group (SHA:601238, HKG:2238), Great Wall Motors (SHA:601633, HKG:2333) and FAW Group (SHE:000800).
