Move over, traditional luxury car giants—Chinese new energy vehicles (NEVs) are charging into Europe, and a Dutch auto dealer is betting big on their success. Kjeld Riegen, leading Voyah’s European rollout for Gomes Noord, told Xinhua that China’s NEVs are winning hearts with their tech-savvy features and wallet-friendly prices.
Voyah, the premium arm of Chinese automaker Dongfeng Motor, just opened its first Dutch store in a Mercedes-Benz showroom—a bold move signaling confidence. Riegen plans three more Dutch stores and a Belgian launch this September. “The quality is great, and the lineup is ,” he said, name-dropping crowd-pleasers like the Mhero 1 and the autonomous-ready Voyah Free.
Why the hype? Riegen raves about Voyah’s autonomous tech, tested rigorously for European roads. After touring Dongfeng’s Wuhan facilities and the Beijing Auto Show, he’s convinced: “Chinese brands are leading the EV future.” His fave? The Voyah Free, which he says drives like a “dream” with “immense power.”
With Europe’s EV adoption accelerating, Riegen sees NEVs as a perfect match: “Smart mobility isn’t coming—it’s here.” From silent, emissions-free rides to next-gen battery ranges, Voyah’s blend of luxury and affordability could redefine Europe’s streets.
