IT House, February 24 — The EU China Chamber of Commerce announced today that, with unanimous approval from the board of directors, Li Auto has officially joined the EU China Chamber of Commerce as a full member and will become part of the chamber’s automotive working group.

Li Auto was founded on July 1, 2015, and is a new energy intelligent vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Shunyi, Beijing. On July 30, 2020, Li Auto was officially listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the United States; on August 12, 2021, it was listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, completing dual listings.

In April 2024, Li Auto registered its first overseas R&D entity in Munich, Germany. In January 2025, the Li Auto Germany R&D Center was established, currently employing a team of professional designers, power semiconductor experts, chassis system engineers, electric drive specialists, and regulatory certification professionals in Munich.

IT House notes: The EU China Chamber of Commerce was initiated by Bank of China (Europe) Limited, China Three Gorges (Europe) Limited, and COSCO Shipping (Europe) Limited. It was registered in Brussels on August 31, 2018. Currently, it has over 100 member organizations representing more than 1,000 Chinese-funded enterprises across major EU member states. The chamber is located in Brussels, near institutions such as the European Council and the European Commission, and advocates for the interests of Chinese-funded enterprises.

In January this year, the EU China Chamber of Commerce issued a statement regarding the positive progress made in the China-EU electric vehicle case. The chamber expressed high praise and full recognition for the fact that China and the EU have advanced the electric vehicle case toward a “soft landing” through dialogue and consultation. At the same time, the chamber reiterated that the competitiveness of China’s electric vehicle industry stems from continuous technological innovation and the cost and scale advantages formed through full market competition, rather than reliance on subsidies.
