French Automakers Score a Win: Dongfeng and Stellantis Forge EV Partnership In a strategic move that could shake up the European electric vehicle (EV) market, Chinese automaker Dongfeng has partnered with French multinational Stellantis to manufacture Voyah EVs at a factory in France. This partnership not only allows Dongfeng to sidestep EU tariffs on Chinese-made EVs, but also enables Stellantis to increase production capacity at its Rennes plant. The deal is seen as a significant boost for the European EV industry, as it brings in new investment and expertise from a major Chinese automaker. As the global demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, this partnership is expected to have far-reaching implications for the automotive sector.
Building Voyah EVs in a French factory will enable Dongfeng to avoid EU tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and allow Stellantis to boost capacity at its Rennes plant.
