巴黎,10月13日 - 欧洲汽车制造商周二呼吁政策制定者做更多工作,以帮助他们应对中国竞争和向电动汽车的转型,因为宝马和Stellantis第三季度交付量下降凸显了行业所面临的压力。
PARIS, Oct 13 - European automakers urged policymakers on Tuesday to do more to help them cope with Chinese competition and the shift to electric vehicles, as a drop in third-quarter deliveries at BMW and Stellantis underscored the pressure on the industry.
欧洲大众市场汽车行业正面临“巨大压力”,大众汽车首席执行官奥利弗·布鲁姆在巴黎车展同期举行的活动中表示,重申了对更灵活监管和激励措施的呼吁,以支持本地制造。
Europe's mass-market car industry is under "enormous pressure", Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume told an event taking place alongside the Paris motor show, renewing calls for more flexible regulation and incentives to support local manufacturing.
欧盟周五宣布了一项协议,该协议可能将中国向欧盟出口的混合动力汽车削减超过一半,以回应欧洲汽车制造商的担忧:中国竞争对手正面临国内需求疲软,且基本被排除在美国市场之外,可能会用低成本汽车冲击欧洲市场。
The European Union announced a deal on Friday that could cut Chinese exports of hybrid vehicles to the bloc by more than a half, addressing concerns among European automakers that Chinese rivals, grappling with weak demand at home and largely shut out of the US market, could flood Europe with low-cost cars.
尽管总体上欢迎该协议,欧洲制造商表示,政策制定者需要做更多工作来帮助他们竞争,包括应对高昂的能源成本和支持向电动汽车的转型。
While broadly welcoming the deal, European manufacturers say policymakers need to do more to help them compete, including tackling high energy costs and supporting the transition to EVs.
Stellantis首席执行官安东尼奥·菲洛萨表示,欧洲需要更多的电动汽车电池工厂。
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said Europe needed more EV battery factories.
雷诺首席执行官弗朗索瓦·普罗沃斯特同时警告称,如果政策制定者在2030年汽车制造商减排目标上不表现出灵活性,该公司可能不得不将欧洲产量削减约30万辆。
Renault's CEO Francois Provost, meanwhile, warned the company may have to cut European production by about 300,000 vehicles if policymakers do not show flexibility over 2030 targets for automakers to cut carbon emissions.
复杂的关系 宝马的情况凸显了欧洲汽车制造商所承受的压力,该公司报告称,由于中国销量下降四分之一,其第三季度全球交付量下降了6.4%。
COMPLEX RELATIONSHIPS The pressure on European carmakers was highlighted by BMW, which reported a 6.4% drop in global deliveries in the third quarter as sales in China fell by a quarter.
Stellantis则表示,第三季度发货量下降1%,受北美夏季生产停摆的影响。
Stellantis, meanwhile, said third-quarter shipments fell 1%, hit by a summer production shutdown in North America.
一个亮点是欧洲发货量增长10%,部分得益于中国合作伙伴零跑汽车的车辆,这凸显了行业的复杂关系:欧洲和中国制造商在激烈竞争欧洲市场的同时,也在相互借鉴彼此的专业知识。
One bright spot was a 10% rise in European shipments, helped in part by vehicles from Chinese partner Leapmotor, highlighting the industry's complex relationships as European and Chinese manufacturers compete fiercely while also tapping each others' expertise.
双方都在利用巴黎车展推出一波新车型,因为争夺欧洲市场的战斗正在加剧。
Both sides are using the Paris show to launch a wave of new models as that battle for the European market intensifies.
随着中国制造商将日益复杂的技术与具有竞争力的价格相结合,一些欧洲汽车制造商正以其竞争对手所不具备的资产进行反击:传承。Stellantis 推出了雪铁龙经典 2CV 的电动版本,而大众汽车的电动 Polo 则在很大程度上借鉴了高尔夫在 20 世纪 80 年代的鼎盛时期。赌注很高。
With Chinese manufacturers combining increasingly sophisticated technology with competitive prices, some European automakers are fighting back with an asset their rivals lack: heritage. Stellantis unveiled an electric version of Citroen's classic 2CV, while Volkswagen's electric Polo draws heavily on the Golf's 1980s heyday. The stakes are high.
“我们不能仅凭出口利润来建设我们的未来。我们的欧洲业务必须盈利、有韧性且具有竞争力,” 大众汽车的布鲁姆说道。“我们必须确保欧洲的工业基础。”
"We cannot build our future on export profits alone. Our European businesses must be profitable, resilient and competitive," Volkswagen's Blume said. "We must secure Europe's industrial base."
