The influence of Chinese automotive brands continues to increase, injecting new impetus into the development of the global automotive industry. Our reporter visited the automotive markets in the United Arab Emirates, Belgium, and Mexico to understand the sales situation of Chinese brand cars in the local market and how to promote the green transformation and development of the local automotive industry. Last October, at the 2023 World Bus Expo held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, Chinese buses received widespread attention. "Not long ago, I saw a promotional video of BYD looking up at U8 new energy vehicles online, which was very shocking. Chinese brand cars have a good driving experience and high cost-effectiveness. China National Building Materials Dubai Overseas Warehouse is about to introduce BYD looking up at U8, and I look forward to test driving the actual car as soon as possible," said Jihad, the head of an automotive trading company in Jordan. The reporter saw thousands of Chinese made cars neatly arranged in the Dubai overseas warehouse of China National Building Materials located in the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone of the United Arab Emirates. "There are both passenger cars and commercial vehicles here, as well as fuel powered and new energy vehicles, as well as affordable and luxury models." Li Weifeng, the head of China National Building Materials Dubai Overseas Warehouse, introduced that in recent years, Chinese cars have entered the Middle East and North Africa markets one after another, and local consumers' recognition of Chinese car brands is constantly increasing. China Building Materials Dubai Overseas Warehouse has sold over 10000 vehicles and has established the China New Energy Vehicle Middle East Trading Center in cooperation with the China Automobile Distribution Association.
