Mercedes-Benz faces a potential ban on selling connected vehicles in the U.S. under legislation targeting automakers with significant ownership ties to China.<\/p>\n

The Senate Commerce Committee advanced a measure last week that would bar the sale of connected vehicles in the U.S. by companies with more than 15% ownership by Chinese entities, potentially affecting German automaker Mercedes-Benz, in which two Chinese investors hold stakes totaling nearly 20%.<\/p>\n

Sens. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.,\u00a0and\u00a0Bernie\u00a0Moreno,\u00a0R-Ohio, sponsored the bipartisan legislation, which would codify and expand restrictions established under the \u200bBiden administration, arguing that it “closes the door on Chinese-origin vehicles, software, and key components at every stage, from\u00a0production, importation,\u00a0to\u00a0sale,\u00a0so that data gathered on U.S. roads\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0be funneled back to the Chinese government.”<\/p>\n

“Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels, with the ability to collect on American citizens and transmit that data back to Beijing,” Slotkin said in a statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moreno said the measure aims to prevent “an absolute, total, and complete destruction of our industrial base.”<\/p>\n

“China\u2019s auto industry was not built to compete, it was built to destroy American manufacturing, gut the middle class, and undermine our national security,” he said.<\/p>\n

But Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who chairs the Commerce Committee, warned that Mercedes-Benz could effectively be shut out of the U.S. market if the legislation becomes law without changes and said the bill needed changes.<\/p>\n

Cruz accused General Motors of pushing for the measure to cut Mercedes-Benz out of the market and make its Cadillac brand more appealing.<\/p>\n

“We would never consider” banning Mercedes-Benz sales in the U.S., he said.<\/p>\n

GM \u200bcontended that the legislation does not attempt to target an individual automaker, saying it “supports policies that protect and strengthen American manufacturing and the \u200bglobal competitiveness of U.S. automakers.”<\/p>\n

“As we have said many times, we can compete with anyone in the world when we are given a level playing field,” GM said.<\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz highlighted its extensive U.S. operations while stressing that it “continues to support legislation designed to protect U.S. national security.”<\/p>\n

“Mercedes-Benz also remains \u200ccommitted to \u2060ensuring that any legislation does not impact our operations. The company will continue to safeguard its employees, dealers, suppliers, and customers,” the automaker said.<\/p>\n

The bill includes a process through which manufacturers could seek Commerce Department authorization for vehicles that otherwise would be prohibited.<\/p>\n

Moreno said GM intends to move production of its Chinese-made Buick Envision to the U.S. for the 2028 model year and that Ford has agreed to transfer Chinese-made Lincolns to the U.S.<\/p>\n

“I view that as a big victory,” Moreno said.<\/p>\n

He also said Google’s \u200bself-driving vehicle company, <\/strong>Waymo, which had \u200bbeen in talks with Chinese automaker \u2060Geely about platforms coming from China, has committed to looking at a Detroit-based manufacturer for its future platforms.<\/p>\n

Cruz said another bill provision backed by GM would require automakers to purchase more expensive batteries from GM, adding $5,000 to the vehicles’ cost.<\/p>\n

This comes after the Trump administration last month banned Polestar from selling new connected vehicles in the U.S. starting in the 2027 model year due to the Sweden-based automaker being majority-owned by Geely.<\/p>\n

Polestar’s sister brand and co-founder, Volvo Cars, said in May that it was given a green light to continue selling cars in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The legislation must still pass the full Senate and House and be signed by the president before becoming law.<\/p>\n
