In August, Chinese automotive brands, with BYD leading the charge, made significant inroads into the European new car market. These brands secured a market share of nearly 12% of the total sales, claimed a quarter of the hybrid vehicle segment, and dominated a third of the plug-in hybrid vehicle market.
