GAC, China's state-owned auto company, is considering manufacturing electric vehicles within the European Union to avoid hefty tariffs approved earlier this month, according to a report Sunday.
GAC general manager of international business Wei Heigang told Reuters that the company was "actively exploring this possibility" following the Oct. 4 vote by the European Commission, the EU's governing body, to impose import duties of up to 45% on Chinese-made EVs.
