Industry Pressures: Volvo Cars reported a third-quarter loss and plans to cut 2,500 jobs worldwide as weak China sales and competition weigh on results; its shares fell sharply. Policy and Safety: Pakistan’s draft auto policy aims to build an export-focused industry, targeting $6 billion in exports over five years while gradually lowering vehicle tariffs. India is also proposing mandatory advanced emergency braking for passenger cars, with implementation targeted by 2032.
