German minister suggests higher EU tariffs on Chinese cars

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:04:10 -0400

Investing.com -- A German state minister called for the European Union to consider higher tariffs on cars manufactured in China as a way to encourage Chinese automakers to form partnerships with European companies like Volkswagen.

Dirk Panter, economy minister in the eastern state of Saxony, told the Bild newspaper on Thursday that the EU needs to consider imposing higher tariffs on Chinese-made cars. Saxony is home to a Volkswagen plant.

The comments come after Volkswagen threatened to close four German factories in the coming years, including the all-electric Zwickau plant in Saxony, if no other solution is found.
