German car dealer to offer Chinese e-cars on large scale

The Weller Group, one of the largest car dealers in Germany based in the northern city of Osnabrueck, is preparing to sell Chinese-made MG electric cars on a large scale, responding to the brand’s increasing popularity in the country, German media reported on Friday.

The group will sell the cars in its 35 dealerships across the country instead of the current four, business news magazine Wirtschaftswoche reported.

Burkhard Weller, managing partner of the Weller Group, was quoted as saying that cooperation with MG has been smooth. MG was originally a British car brand. It was acquired by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) in 2007.
