Three weeks ago, Wauquiez caused a stir by proposing that individuals under a deportation order deemed dangerous should be sent to the French archipelago of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, off the coast of Canada. He also recently said that France had become “the most violent country in Europe.”

The company also has plans to set up a facility in Turkey in the near future, and is considering a third factory in Europe, the report suggests.

Now it appears that Chery, China’s fourth-largest carmaker, which sold 2,603,916 vehicles in 2024 through its nine brands and joint ventures including with Jaguar Land Rover, is close to finalizing a deal to take over the two plants as it prepares to expand into European markets.

If it comes to an agreement to purchase the two German plants, it intends to manufacture models for its brand-new Lepas brand that was launched only a few weeks ago, on April 2, and sells modified versions of Chery‘s Tiggo range that will be available in global markets. European-made models will include two compact and one midsize SUVs with combustion, plug-in hybrid or all-electric powertrains.

Chery is no stranger to building cars in Europe in an effort to avoid the hefty taxes imposed on Chinese EVs by the EU as, since 2024, it has been assembling cars at a former Nissan factory in Barcelona, Spain in partnership with local firm Ebro.
