NEV brands gaining ground in Europe

Chinese car manufacturers are gaining more ground in Europe with their innovative products and long-term market approaches.

Sales of China's largest new energy vehicle maker BYD skyrocketed in the United Kingdom by 550.8 percent to 1,614 units in January, seizing 1.2 percent of the country's overall vehicle market share.

It was the first time that the Warren Buffett-backed carmaker had outsold Tesla on a monthly basis, which saw its sales fall 8 percent to 1,458 in the same month, said the country's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
