On February 17, Landu Automobile announced its official entry into the European market, landing in Norway for the first time, and may become the first brand of the new energy national team to go to sea.
In December 2020, Xiaopeng Motors cooperated with Norwegian dealers to sell P7 to the Norwegian market; in May 2020, WEILAI Automobile released the "Norwegian Strategy";
The earliest to enter the Norwegian market is the SAIC MG brand. In September 2019, SAIC MG ZS pure electric SUV was launched in Norway, while the Chase brand of the same group shipped 328 MAXUS EV30 units to Norway in June 2020.
In the same period, BYD's Don EV was also sold to the Norwegian market through the Norwegian distributor RSA.
Why has Norway become the first stop for most Chinese eviction companies to enter the European market?
The following three reasons have to be mentioned:
1 Norway may be the first country in the world to ban the sale of fuel vehicles. Many countries have plans to replace fuel vehicles with electric vehicles, such as the Uk time is 2035, while Norway is more aggressive, and the replacement time is set to 2025;
2 Norway has a high penetration rate of electric vehicles, because there is no local electric vehicle brand, and the foreign brand is highly inclusive. According to data published by the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council (OFV):
Norway's new car sales in 2029 will be 141,400 units, of which pure electric vehicle sales will be 76,800 units, accounting for 54.3%, becoming the first country in the world to cross the national threshold.
3 Norway's subsidies for the purchase and use of electric vehicles are extremely high. Buyers are exempt from purchase and import duties; buyers are exempt from 25% VAT; in addition, electric vehicle owners can save at least 50% of tolls; they can also enjoy priority in the right of way, and can use bus lanes during peak hours, and there are also different degrees of reductions and exemptions in parking fees and congestion charges.
