“It’s the moment of truth”: France’s response to Chinese electric cars at the motor show

All the representatives of the major European groups met on site this Monday, on the occasion of the day dedicated to professionals and the press, are on the same line. “We are betting on our future”, continues the Renault representative, rolling his eyes and falling… onto the flying car of the Chinese brand XPeng, whose stand is adjacent to that of the diamond group. A true symbol: the Chinese, who have arrived in force in Paris, now embody innovation and the cutting edge of technology, while the French (Renault, Peugeot, Citroën), but also the Germans (Volkswagen, BMW, etc.) they are nailed to the ground, late, in a surprising reversal of roles.
