China: oversight of overly quickly developed vehicles
In late October 2026, the pace of development among Chinese automakers brought the model cycle down to about three years, from six or seven previously. GAC subsequently denied being subject to a recall request linked to the controversy over overly quickly developed vehicles, while Chinese authorities halted models developed on an accelerated cycle and raised to 30,000 km the reliability tests required to certify new energy vehicles. The debate also concerns the use of the label "rushed car", the 20.39 million vehicles recalled in China, and an academic's calls to prioritize quality over quantity. An expert warns against the risks of the technological race, and automotive paint suppliers are adapting their ranges and lead times to the compressed cycles.
