The Chinese car industry, which has been relying heavily on electric motors for years, is increasingly becoming a huge problem for the industry in Europe. During Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit, French leader Emmanuel Macron wants to express his displeasure about this. Krone+ shows which new car brands are coming our way - or are already here.

Every third new car registered in Austria is either a VW, Skoda or BMW. Behind them are numerous car brands that have a long tradition in Europe: Seat, Audi, Mercedes. So nothing new on the car market! You might think so. And yet more and more brands are appearing on the roads whose origins are as unknown to many people as their names. Of course, they do not yet appear in the statistics of the best-selling cars.
