WASHINGTON, DC – Alliance for Automotive Innovation today released the following statement on Sens. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and Elissa Slotkin’s plan to ban Chinese vehicles from the U.S.
John Bozzella, president and CEO, Alliance for Automotive Innovation, said:
“China has a strategy to dominate global automotive and battery manufacturing that presents a challenge to American economic and national security.
“We need to make sure we’re all playing by the same rules, but Chinese automakers are flooding markets around the world with cut-rate vehicles.
“Sens. Moreno and Slotkin don’t want that to happen here. They’re right. The legislation they introduced today sends a clear message: The U.S. will not throw open the doors to Chinese automakers to manufacture or sell here.
“The details matter, and we’ll continue working with lawmakers to get this policy right, so all our member companies continue to succeed and thrive inside the U.S.”
