Sixty per cent of
Swedish auto retail dealers are willing to sell low-price mini-vehicles
made in China, according to Xinhua quoting the Swedish "Dagens
Nyheter'' (Daily News) in Stockholm on July 2 as saying.
European Union member countries can have a free choice
to import sedan car brands and models since the EU's cancellation
of car import brand restrictions, quoted the newspaper from a
recent market survey released by a Swedish auto consultancy company.
In Sweden, most of the auto retail dealers are interested in the
sales of China-manufactured vehicles with prices below 50,000
Swedish Kronor (6,400 US dollars), and 65 per cent of the dealers
has started to plan the imports of new brand China-made vehicles.
First of all, Chinese auto should come up to
the EU stipulations in terms of safety and environment protection
performances when entering the EU market. However, many of Chinese
vehicles cannot fully reach the standards. Nevertheless, that
will not be a problem, said a EU official in charge of the survey.
He said auto manufacturers in China have enough time to learn
from advanced technologies and experiences abroad. Especially
the auto producers in the United States, Europe and Japan have
set up plants in China, which is beneficial for China to improving
its technologies as soon as possible.
