Los conductores chinos compran vehículos eléctricos asequibles cargados de nuevas tecnologías, una tendencia que está redefiniendo los vehículos de gama alta y perjudicando a los fabricantes de automóviles alemanes.
Chinese drivers are buying affordable electric vehicles loaded with new technology, a trend that is redefining high-end vehicles and hurting German automakers.
The executive, Jim Farley, said President Trump’s tariff and auto policies would raise costs and could force the automaker to cut jobs.
Los aranceles podrían ser un duro golpe para el mayor productor de autos en México y aumentarían los precios de muchos vehículos vendidos en Estados Unidos.
General Motors, the largest producer of cars in Mexico, won’t provide details on how it would react if President Trump imposes 25 percent tariffs from the two countries.
Tariffs from the United States and other countries are unlikely to stop China’s auto export dominance.
The American automaker said the cost-cutting measure would help it compete with Chinese rivals in the face of slowing demand for electric vehicles.
China enfrenta un panorama económico complicado, pero su dependencia de los mercados estadounidenses se ha reducido y parece estar tomando medidas para el crecimiento interno.
The Chinese economy is more dependent on exports, making tariffs more potent, yet it’s less reliant on American markets and increasingly bent on self-sufficiency.
The tariffs, some as high as 45 percent, are intended to protect Europe’s automotive sector, but they could escalate a trade war with China.
