China's Jetour to launch European car sales in third quarter

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Chinese sport-utility vehicle maker Jetour plans to launch in some European markets in the third quarter and aims to sell cars across much of the continent by 2027, an executive said on Wednesday. The automaker currently makes combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models, which would not be subject to European Union tariffs on Chinese-made fully electric cars. When asked if that had influenced Jetour's decision to sell in Europe, Ke said if successful the brand will look into making cars in Europe.
