Nissan has warned that the UK could face unfair competition in the European auto market unless it introduces tariffs on Chinese-made vehicles. The company argues that proposed EU rules favoring locally produced cars would put British manufacturers at a disadvantage without similar protections. The warning comes as trade tensions rise over differing standards for electric vehicles and emissions regulations. Automakers are now urging policymakers to align policies to prevent market distortions.


Nissan says the UK may need to impose tariffs on Chinese vehicles to gain equal treatment under the EU's proposed local-content rules.
