The Polish General Staff is preparing a document banning private vehicles manufactured in China from entering military units and institutions.
The move was due to national security concerns, Polish Radio reported.
Military officials say newer Chinese-made vehicles are equipped with numerous electronic systems and sensors that can collect data about their surrounding environment. Information that may be collected includes photos, videos, audio recordings, and vehicle location data.
The Polish Army assesses that such data could be used for espionage, especially in military-sensitive areas. The restrictions are expected to apply not only to barracks and military installations, but also to nearby parking lots used by civilian personnel, military personnel, and visitors.
Poland’s move is in line with trends seen in other countries. In November 2025,Israelhas begun seizing Chinese-made official vehicles used by officers, citing security and security risks.
The proposal, which is currently in the development stage, reflects growing European and international concerns about the use of technology embedded in modern vehicles and the potential for it to be misused for strategic data collection.
