Seres Group has announced its full support and active response to the recently released Guidelines for Overseas Competition Behavior and Compliance Construction in the Automotive Industry. Issued by China’s Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the State Administration for Market Regulation, these guidelines aim to provide a crucial framework for Chinese auto companies operating internationally.
The new directives are designed to steer Chinese automotive enterprises towards sound and sustainable international development, enhance their compliance capabilities, and bolster their global influence. They also seek to foster international cooperation within the global automotive supply chain.
In its official statement, Seres Group emphasized that adherence to legal and compliance standards is a non-negotiable principle for the company.

This proactive approach, the company believes, will help protect the overall brand image and international reputation of the Chinese automotive industry abroad.
Key Focus Areas and Industry Call to Action
The Automotive Guidelines address a range of critical aspects for companies engaged in international automotive business. A significant point highlighted in the guidelines pertains to pricing strategies. It advises companies to set clear price gradients for different vehicle configurations when determining recommended retail prices in overseas markets. This should be done in accordance with the laws, market principles, and commercial practices of the host country or region. The aim is to prevent frequent and substantial price fluctuations that could potentially harm consumer interests and damage brand image.
Beyond pricing, the guidelines also cover areas such as overseas marketing practices, safety production, quality management, labor protection, and data security. These comprehensive recommendations are intended to offer practical guidance for businesses navigating the complexities of international markets.
Seres Group took this opportunity to extend a call to its industry peers. The company urged fellow automotive companies to strictly adhere to compliance bottom lines and regulate their overseas competitive behaviors. By doing so collectively, the industry can work together to maintain a fair, orderly, and mutually beneficial market environment in overseas territories.
Future Outlook: Collaborative and Compliant Global Expansion
Looking ahead, Seres Group expressed its intention to collaborate with industry partners. The company aims to uphold compliant operations, deepen industrial synergy, and practice corporate social responsibility in its international endeavors. This collaborative spirit is geared towards facilitating the compliant and high-quality global expansion of China’s automotive industry.
Ultimately, Seres Group envisions contributing to a new paradigm of global development for intelligent electric vehicles, driven by compliance and international cooperation. The group’s proactive stance underscores the growing importance of regulatory adherence and ethical business practices as Chinese automakers increasingly assert their presence on the world stage.
