a lots of market still belongs to the traditional gasoline cars markets. so we try to find more than more of friends in this kind of new and vehicles fields and to work with them to promote the new energy technology is a and a or so per dogs, globally. europe's car manufacturers are also going electric, but their transition from combustion engines to battery it will take decades. hundreds of factories have to be converted. thousands of workers will need retraining, and countless new models will need to be developed and the billions of euro is needed to make the switch are still being earned from gasoline and diesel cars. i think the, the combinations increasing clearly with the arrival of a lot of new brands, would we, equally, are a challenge of brand without a electric cars with the cooper time is going to be by the way also comes from china. so i think we're in good shape to face the competition. meanwhile,

german manufacturers are seeking to get a leg up through collaborations. chinese providers are going all in on electric, while european are bidding on various power sources. but in the end it's the buyers will decide which car manufacturers have a future and which don't for more, let's bring in dw correspondent christie plaza and chris, the chinese car makers trying to make quite a splash there in munich. what exactly is their plan? right, well what they're here to do, christmas, to capitalize on the expertise they've hone in their own home market over the last 20 years. now, china is undoubtedly the farthest along when it comes to developing. it's easy market, well one and every 3 cars produce there is electric. they also have a much more developed charging grid there than in europe and in the united states. so in some ways here in europe, legacy carmakers like mercedes, a who stand them,
5:20 am
we're setting out right now. they were in some ways just getting their feet wet compared to china when it comes to producing ease and china, chinese makers are hoping to cut in on some of that market. so the experience that these manufacturers have made so far on the domestic market in china, that's the reason why they are so confident that they can leave their mark in europe and grab a solid slice of market share the right. well, as i said, i are the market then trying to is much farther along. and it's really interesting when you take a look at these players in china versus the players here in europe, for example. i mean here that we're the market is dominated by legacy carmakers like volkswagen, mercedes bmw. whereas the chinese market has been filled by of lots of small companies that are maybe only 20 years old. sometimes a lot of the times they got their start as digital companies or as battery companies. so coming from a more of
5:21 am
a start up approach to tackling the problem. so they're hoping to bring this mentality here to quite an old market to shake things up. now walter, german or european car make us for that matter, have in store to compete with the chinese right, well, i mean uh these brands like mercedes bmw, volkswagen, they of course have the brand history of the brand identity. they have a customer base. uh that is used to buying those cars and what we are hearing at the trade fare and the other part of munich this morning. uh from uh, volkswagen for example is a lot of we've got this uh we're handling this transition. so, electric vehicles, you can trust us as you've always trusted us. so that's definitely the mazda 3 hearing from these legacy carmakers that they're hoping that their brand recognition in their history will be able to see them through this massive transition. me. nevertheless, you mentioned these legacy car makers,
5:22 am
do they feel threatened by what's coming from china in this big market for electric vehicles there? well, what i can tell you, chris, is i have never heard so many german people speaking chinese as i have today. we heard it in the volkswagen speech. i heard it also just on the floor, maybe just little bits of mandarin. uh that uh german uh, business people were throwing around. i also spoke with a the ceo of cobra volkswagen brand. he also saying he's speaking mandarin and that actually looks on cobra. his cars are being produced in china. so what we are seeing here is some attempted synergy between a chinese and european markets, maybe learning from each other, but also maybe keeping in a way of keeping your friends close for your enemies closer. those are corresponding christy plots. and speaking to us, there from the i a munich mobility show, i guess, the backdrop of growing pressure on the car industry. drum exports fell slightly in
5:23 am
july, drive down by sluggish international demand, adding to gloom about europe's biggest economy. with some analysts fear is on the brink of recession, exports, we're down 0.9 percent. that's less than an offset expected, but still shows that german industry is struggling to offset the impact of higher energy prices since the war in ukraine. as long as economy in germany's top trading partner, china has also had an impact, although ex, 40 slightly in july after they slumped into florida spring invention stem. or he's an expert on a national trade policy at the kill institute for the world economy. welcome to dw events, and let's take a quick look back here at our main topic of the car industry. how much is machinery like chinese electric vehicles for that matter? a threat determined manufacturers that have made a lot of money selling their products around the world. the best yes we do observed
5:24 am
that the chinese production has been becoming a competition for german manufacturers of automobiles as small as machinery. we observed, for example, that the importance of sector of machines, ass last competitiveness to china and is exporting less to china. and then we would expect based on the growth of the 2 economies, experts overall uh, are down month to month. the trade with the united states and china, which are 2 of germany's most important training partners that trade is up. what do you make of that? well, 1st of all, the data point that you mentioned is a monthly trade data. so monthly trade data tends to be somewhat volatile, but there is a growing trends within this data point as well. so german growth, the german export growth, has been struggling this entire years. the united states as an import markets for
5:25 am
as a, as a market for exports. it has been somewhat stable. now, what do we do? observe quite interestingly, is that china as a market for exports has been declining in importance as so if you look at the data from 2020 a, china has been importing approximately 8 percent of all german exports. now this value is down to from age to approximately is a 6.2 percent of the 1st half. so the importance of china as a market for german exports has been declining. mentioned to high financing costs by the inflation slowing growth, and what economists call eroding competitiveness in germany. how much will international trade be able to contribute? determined is already sputtering economic engine as well. to be honest, this year we do expect that export close is going to be a very small, it's not negative. a bunch of them, the years to come from growth will still come from exports due to the might that
5:26 am
economy is around the world are growing somewhat faster than germany. takes china, for example. yes, the chinese economy struggling and there is competition. but the chinese economy economies in southeast asia are growing fast, and this will contribute to german export quotes in the years to come. there will be some negative news in the next month, next quarter's perhaps. but in the long term, there will again be some um images for, for, for german export class events. and briefly, if you could, if look at the immediate situation, what could be a signal for a turnaround? a stop of rate increases in the united states for example. oh yes, absolutely. so interest rates claim major role because what terms tend to exports our machines, which are capital goods, they have to be invested so high interest rates tend to 1st of these term and export the export machines,
5:27 am
