Good morning and welcome back to FirstFT Asia. In today’s newsletter:

Volkswagen has said it can produce an electric vehicle entirely made in China for half the cost of doing so elsewhere, as the German automaker fights to reclaim its share in the world’s biggest market.

What to know: Europe’s largest carmaker said yesterday that, following a series of investments in China, it can for the first time develop new cars outside Germany. VW is preparing to release about 30 EV models in China over the next five years, in a bet on localised research and development. The carmaker said that, compared with the 2023 production costs for EVs in Germany, the cost for some models in China had been reduced by as much as 50 per cent because of supply chain efficiencies.

VW was for many years the biggest carmaker in China but it has lost market share as a wave of innovative Chinese EV rivals won over consumers.

VW’s China plans: The group is in discussions about increasing exports of Chinese-made cars as well as applying China breakthroughs throughout its global operations, said executives. VW is among a clutch of European carmakers attempting to replicate the speed of vehicle development in China by hiring local engineers, collaborating with partners there and by tearing down vehicles made by BYD and other newer rivals. Read more about VW’s efforts to survive in China.
