France is putting its car industry at the heart of a new push to strengthen Europe's manufacturing base. Together with Germany, Paris is preparing plans to revive the automotive sector, protect jobs and help European manufacturers compete with rising pressure from China, while also softening its planned phase-out of new petrol and diesel cars. The initiative comes as Volkswagen weighs cutting up to 100,000 jobs, underscoring the scale of the challenge facing Europe's biggest automakers and the urgency of closer French-German cooperation. For France, saving the future of the car industry may prove just as important as building the next generation of it.
