Interview: Car Dealer Weller: "The fuel price brake was nonsense"
One of Germany's largest car dealers talks about the situation of the industry and the electric car bonus. Burkhard Weller relies on Chinese brands and is optimistic about German vehicles.
Burkhard Weller, a 72-year-old German car dealer with nearly 50 years of experience, expresses his views on the state of the German auto industry. He believes that while the industry has missed some trends, there is no reason for major concern. Weller notes that Chinese car manufacturers, such as BYD, will likely remain niche players, despite their growing market share, which has reached 9%, nearly triple that of 2023.
He attributes their success to competitive pricing, but predicts that this strategy may not be sustainable in the long term.
