China’s traditional fuel car exports are taking over the world

by Inside China Business [1-17-2026].

Chinese exports of electric vehicles are blowing past the sales from legacy carmakers, and even from Tesla.

But China is rapidly taking over markets of fuel-burning cars. In 2024, China exported an estimated 6.5 million gasoline-powered models. Insiders forecast growth of an additional 4 million exports by 2030.

The success of Chinese brands is especially striking in Mexico, where they already enjoy a 14% market share, while Chevrolet sales have dropped 17% in just two years.
