为什么是挪威
Why Norway
For a Chinese OEM, Norway is more than a market of five and a half million people — it is the best possible gateway to Europe.
Europe's proving ground
NIO, XPeng and BYD all chose Norway as their first European market. Validate product, pricing and service here, then scale to the continent.
No tariffs, shared homologation
Norway levies no import duty on passenger cars and has not adopted the EU's countervailing tariffs on Chinese EVs. EU whole-vehicle type approval applies directly via the EEA agreement.
Transparent rules, strong purchasing power
Regulatory processes are digital, predictable and transparent, and purchasing power is among Europe's highest. Norwegians pay fair prices for good products.
