Punish tariffs endanger German car trade: experts warn of episodes!

retailers in the car industry are preparing for rising prices for electric cars, as threatening punitive tariffs are imminent for Chinese models. According to the Peckruhn Association Vice, this could move the competition greatly. Traders who have already invested in Chinese brands are concerned that customs -related price increases could deter customers and reduce their sales figures. At the same time, it is pointed out to the risk of a retaliation reaction from China, which could have a negative impact on exports of vehicles that have not been produced in China.

Peckruhn sums it up: "Puncture tariffs are not a solution to a fair, global trade." These potential tariffs could not only drive up the prices for electric cars in Germany, but also endanger the competitiveness of local manufacturers and suppliers. Dealers and manufacturers should not result in this participationless pressure and instead insist on fair trade conditions, according to the concerned assessment.
