The Spanish plant will assemble cars from kits that have been partially “knocked down”, according to Chery. Typically, such vehicles are made in cheaper locations, taken apart and then reassembled closer to where they are sold. The process, common in auto manufacturing, will allow Chery to avoid EU tariffs imposed on finished cars.

There's got to be a better way to deal with the issues that have lead to this arrangement.
