Audi sues German importer of Chinese Audis
Audi is taking legal action against someone importing Audi vehicles from China into Europe, claiming they weren't approved for export. The company is also warning that owners won't have access to official Audi service or parts.
Classic move: lock down supply chains, sue anyone trying to work around your regional pricing strategy, and call it intellectual property protection.
Audi is using litigation to prevent cheaper Chinese imports from reaching European customers, keeping regional markups intact.
