After visiting Auto Shanghai 2025, Francois Durovray, former French minister of transport, showed great interest in China-made EVs and signed up for a test ride in the XPeng G9 2025. He said he was very impressed by the car's performance, particularly its intelligent driving and auto-parking system. Durovray noted that it was the first time Europeans had seen China excel in technologies such as batteries and AI, and he expressed optimism about a win-win cooperation between China and the EU in these areas.
