罗马，10月14日：意大利工业部长阿道夫·乌尔索周三表示，有意扩大欧洲产能的中国汽车制造商已排除在意大利设厂的可能，原因是当地缺乏合适的工厂。
ROME, Oct 14 : Chinese automakers looking to expand production capacity in Europe have ruled out Italy because of a lack of suitable factories, Italian industry minister Adolfo Urso said on Wednesday.
目前欧盟正在制定相关法规，要求在欧盟销售的电动汽车必须达到一定的本地化生产比例。在此背景下，中国车企正寻求在欧盟境内建立生产基地。
Chinese producers are looking to establish manufacturing plants inside the European Union as Brussels works on rules that will set minimum local content limits for electric vehicles sold in the bloc.
乌尔索在罗马向议员们介绍道：“这些企业正在欧洲各地考察，他们想要什么？就是一座可以立即投入使用的‘交钥匙’工厂。”
"They are touring Europe and what are they asking for? A turnkey factory," Urso told lawmakers in Rome, referring to a production site that would be ready to operate immediately.
他提到，包括比亚迪欧洲事务顾问阿尔弗雷多·阿尔塔维拉在内的中国汽车业界代表曾多次访问意大利的工厂并与他会面，但始终未能找到符合要求的厂址。
He said Chinese auto industry representatives, including BYD's European adviser Alfredo Altavilla, had visited plants in Italy and met Urso several times without finding suitable locations.
其原因在于，意大利唯一的汽车制造巨头斯特兰蒂斯集团决定与中国企业合作生产，因此不愿出让任何一家本土工厂。
This was because Stellantis, Italy's sole major auto producer, has decided to produce cars in partnership with Chinese companies rather than give up any of its Italian factories, Urso said.
这位部长在议会质询环节强调：“与其他行业企业不同，斯特兰蒂斯并未关闭任何意大利境内的工厂，所以目前也没有现成的工厂可以转交给中国车企。”
"Stellantis, unlike other industry players, has not closed any plants in Italy and therefore has no turnkey facilities available to hand over to Chinese automakers," the minister said during a parliamentary questions session.
此前阿尔塔维拉向路透社透露，与部分中国同行不同，比亚迪的目标是在欧洲收购并全资拥有一家汽车工厂，而非与当地企业合资。目前该公司正将重点放在西班牙和法国。
Altavilla told Reuters last month that BYD, unlike some of its Chinese competitors, aimed to buy and fully own a European plant rather than share it with local partners, adding that it was focusing on Spain and France.
