A coalition of major automakers has urged Congress to swiftly pass legislation to ban Chinese vehicles from entering the United States market by the end of the year, according to a Reuters report. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents companies such as General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Honda, Stellantis, and others, has called for prompt action.
Currently, Chinese automakers are flooding the global market with subsidised vehicles equipped with connected software and hardware, according to John Bozzella, CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, who addressed Congress in a letter obtained by Reuters. While such practices have not yet reached American shores, the group emphasized the urgency of the situation.
Bozzella wrote in the letter, "Given the scale and urgency of this threat, we urge you to enact a Chinese vehicle, software and hardware ban before adjourning this year and make this policy the law of the land."
