Tesla, Chinese brands take centre stage at Munich car show

In September, Tesla and Chinese carmakers showed off their newest electric models at the Munich auto fair.

Industry experts said Tesla's appearance in Munich was a sign it was taking the increased competition in the EV market seriously -- especially from China.

Having already captured a sizeable chunk of the prized Chinese market, Chinese manufacturers were out in force at the fair, hoping to win over European drivers with cheaper electric cars.

Chinese groups were starting "their assault on Europe with the IAA", said analyst Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer from the Center for Automotive Research in Germany.

In all, 41 per cent of exhibitors at the fair have their headquarters in China, including brands such as BYD, Leapmotor and Geely.
