European car buyers investing in Chinese cars have been warned that they may be left high and dry, with some Chinese car makers not likely to last in Europe.
Skoda’s member of the board responsible for sales and marketing, Martin Jahn, has first-hand experience of working for Chinese car makers, having led a Volkswagen joint venture with Chinese state-owned FAW (First Automotive Works) in China for four years. He told The Independent: “Everybody knows there will be a consolidation. There are about 150 electric brands in China – that is not sustainable.”
