The event brought together experts and key figures to analyze the impact of this emerging industry from both economic, business, and regulatory perspectives.
The meeting was held through two round tables that addressed in depth the market dynamics and regulatory challenges posed by the transition towards electric mobility, with the emergence of Chinese manufacturers as a major player in the European panorama.
The first session of the day offered a business overview of the arrival and influence of Chinese electric vehicles on the continent. It featured the participation of Jorge Juarez, Group Executive Vice President for Asia Antolín, who contributed his perspective from the components industry. Antonio Muñoz de Verger, Business Development Director (Chinese OEMs) from Gestamp, offered his analysis on the role of Chinese manufacturers. A high-level institutional perspective was provided by Yao Jing, Chinese ambassador to Spain, who highlighted the importance of collaboration and mutual understanding in this new scenario.
The second roundtable then focused on the complex regulatory challenge of mass electric car adoption and the crucial role Chinese manufacturers play in this transformation. Speakers included Juan Manuel Martínez Mourín, president of the Spanish Transport Association, who offered his vision from the perspective of the transport sector. Pablo Cubel, partner at the Cuatrecasas law firm, analyzed the legal and regulatory implications. Finally, Malgorzata Jakimow, a researcher at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, contributed her knowledge of policies and strategies at the European level.
The event served as a crucial forum for dialogue to understand the magnitude of the Chinese electric car boom and its many facets, from business opportunities to regulatory challenges that demand coordinated attention at the global and European levels.
