On July 19, the European Commission held a hearing on countervailing investigation at the EU headquarters in Brussels to consider and discuss the preliminary countervailing ruling submitted by SAIC.
The storm of "ultra-high tariffs" began on June 12 this year, the European Union announced plans to implement temporary countervailing duties on imports of electric vehicles from China. July 4, the European Commission formally announced the results of the preliminary ruling, the decision to impose a 37.6% duty rate on SAIC's products, and plans to levy the corresponding temporary countervailing duties accordingly.
The EU's initiative is enough to see the strong competitiveness of domestic trams in the European market, especially the most "care" SAIC Group. As the "leading brand of global light passenger" and "the first choice of Chinese light passenger in global developed countries", SAIC MAXUS's light passenger products have long been at the top of the market share list in developed markets such as the UK, Norway and Germany. This is because SAIC MAXUS has always been committed to providing intelligent, efficient and safe commercial vehicle solutions for global customers.
Just recently, three of SAIC MAXUS's pure-electric light buses competed for glory in Europe again! The Dana V1, Xintu EV70 and Xintu EV90 won three gold medals in the Euro NCAP commercial light passenger rating. Among them, Dana V1 won the 2024 Platinum Safety Light Vehicle, reaching the peak of the rating. The other two models were both awarded the 2024 Gold Safety Light Passenger of the Year for their outstanding performance.
Euro NCAP is the most authoritative and five-star safety assessment organization in the global automotive field, and is known for its strict standards and reproduction of real-life scenarios. As a result, most of the European local brands' models can only get the bronze medal, or even cannot participate in the rating.
During this selection process, Dana V1 scored an industry-leading 82% in safety assistance performance, mainly due to its advanced safety technologies, including AEB automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring and occupant status monitoring, which ensures all-around safety and security for drivers and passengers under various complex road conditions.
As an "intelligent and efficient pure electric logistics vehicle", Dana V1, in addition to its safety performance, meets the efficient and stable needs of urban distribution and long-distance transportation with its high efficiency, comfort and practical value performance.
Dana V1 is equipped with a high-efficiency electric power system with strong power output and smooth and quiet driving. The spacious cabin space with flexible and changeable seat layout and storage solutions can cover multiple scenarios of passenger transportation and freight transportation.
In addition, SAIC MAXUS also provides Dana V1 users with a comprehensive after-sales service and protection system, from purchase consultation to maintenance, to ensure a worry-free experience for users.
The fact that SAIC MAXUS Dana V1 has received the Euro NCAP platinum safety rating is enough to prove the high quality and leading technology of the product, which adds color to Chinese car companies in the international market and is a role model for many domestic car companies to learn from! Speaking with product strength is the right way!
