According to FTNN news, Italian car company DR Automobiles faced a fine of 600 million euros (approximately 210 million NT) from the AGCM for labeling many Chinese-made vehicles as 'Made in Italy' since December 2021, including Chery, BAIC, and Anhui Jianghuai vehicles. This deceitful practice, combined with inadequate parts supply and after-sales service, led to consumer rights violations. DR Automobiles defended themselves by stating that only 60-70% of the vehicles were assembled in China, followed by significant modifications in their factories to meet European fuel and collision standards. The company plans to appeal the decision, denying any intention of misleading the public or advertising the cars as entirely manufactured in Italy.
