A company in Italy was fined for re-sticking nameplates on Chinese Chery cars

A company in Italy was fined for re-sticking nameplates on Chinese Chery cars.
The Italian company DR Automobilies was fined almost 6 million euros by local authorities because employees re-glued nameplates on cars and sold Chinese Cherys under the guise of Italian ones, journalists report. As reported. Chery Tiggo 2 and 4 were delivered to Italy assembled, and the company simply re-glued the nameplates, renaming the models DR and Evo. During the investigation, the nature of the cars being sold was established, and the investigation concluded that the company could not position itself as an Italian manufacturer with such an approach.

The second accusation against company representatives

The second accusation against company representatives was related to after-sales service. As it turned out, the service department did not provide the necessary components, which potentially led to a violation of consumer rights.
In addition to Chery, DR Automobilies also passed off JAC and BAIC models as its cars. For example, the BJ40, which in its original form is also sold in Russia.
