China and the European Union reached a landmark agreement to curb hybrid car exports to the EU, with the EU claiming exports could fall by more than half over four years. The deal, the first of its kind, followed intense negotiations since June and was framed as a response to a €1.18bn daily trade deficit. The agreement is expected to reduce millions of hybrid cars exported from China to the EU.
