The European Commission is preparing to impose new tariffs on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles imported from China, with BYD, Chery, and SAIC among the manufacturers expected to be affected, according to reports citing EU officials and industry sources. Brussels is moving to close a trade loophole that Chinese automakers have used to expand sales in Europe after earlier tariffs on battery-electric vehicles made in China did not apply to hybrid models.
