The Italian Competition Authority has launched an investigation against DR Automobiles Srl, focusing on potential violations of the Consumer Code related to the promotion and sale of DR and EVO branded vehicles.

According to the Authority, DR Automobiles has been accused of misrepresenting the place of production for its vehicles on its website, in online advertisements, and through mass media channels. The misleading information suggests that the vehicles are entirely produced in Italy, while they are actually manufactured in China.

In response to these allegations, officials from the Authority, supported by the Special Antitrust Unit of the Italian Financial Police, conducted inspections at the headquarters of DR Automobiles Srl to gather further evidence.
