Chinese manufacturers are well known for their love of copying - stealing patents, copying technologies, and producing copies of cars that are so obvious they're ridiculous.
At the mention of a product from China, many people will first think of a fake - which is not surprising, since they are practically copying everything, that can be copied. Footwear, clothes, fashion accessories, handbags, make-up and even food products - and nothing else is even in automotive industry, where some copies are already like that obvious, that they seem to the uninitiated straight up funny.
One of the odes of such producers is Beijing Car/BAIC – their model BJ80 it still looks like a car Mercedes-Benz G, but since Mercedes-Benz and BAIC are in partnership, they are likely to have looked through fingers.
More more resonant copying recently got its own epilogue on to the court – Country Rover sued the company in China Country Wind, which is with the model X7 more than obviously copied the previous generation of the car Range Rover Evoque. Land Rover is suing got, thereby possibly setting a new one a precedent in the battle against copycat cars.
It has been noticeable lately less blatant copying, but they appear certain car parts, which we can definitely claim to be seen somewhere – we also know examples of copying in which it is name a car with a similar name, which already exists and is significantly more widespread. The Chinese manufacturer BYD recently unveiled a concept car with the name e-Seed GT, which is similar to the name of an extremely popular Korean manufacturer Kia Ceed GT.
In the world electrical of cars is on the Chinese copying significantly less, as they want to catch the fast train of progress and development that the electric car industry is experiencing. The production capacity of electric cars in China is among the largest in the world, and soon it may happen that we will be we those of us who will drive copies Chinese cars, if not Chinese electric cars.
