东京 — 斯巴鲁表示，该公司计划在本十年晚些时候推出可通过空中下载方式更新的软件定义汽车，同时还将增加数字化设计和测试的使用，以将下一代汽车的开发时间缩短40%。
TOKYO -- Subaru plans to introduce software-defined vehicles that can be updated over-the-air later this decade, the Japanese automaker said, while also increasing the use of digital design and testing to cut development time for next-generation cars by 40%.
该公司周日向媒体展示了其将用于下一代汽车的技术和开发方法，包括平台和动力总成。对于其软件定义汽车，斯巴鲁将在内部开发电子控制单元（ECU）。它将把自主研发的EyeSight高级驾驶辅助系统与控制车辆运动的ECU进行集成。
The company on Sunday unveiled to media the technologies and development methods it will use for next-generation vehicles, including platforms and powertrains. For its SDVs, Subaru will develop electronic control units (ECUs) in-house. It will integrate its proprietary EyeSight advanced driver-assistance system with an ECU that controls vehicle movement.
斯巴鲁将与美国公司超微半导体（Advanced Micro Devices）合作开发控制半导体，该系统还将支持空中软件更新。
Subaru will develop control semiconductors with U.S.-based Advanced Micro Devices, with the system also supporting over-the-air software updates.
“我们希望以实惠的价格向客户交付汽车，同时保持其软件始终处于最新状态，”执行役员Watamori Takatomo表示。
"We want to deliver vehicles to customers at affordable prices while keeping them up to date," executive officer Takatomo Watamori said.
斯巴鲁将彻底改革其开发流程，原先该流程中试制、设计、测试和为大规模生产做准备是按顺序进行的。通过并行开展多个流程，公司旨在缩短开发时间。节省下来的时间将用于利用实际汽车来提升性能和质量。
The automaker will overhaul its development process, in which prototyping, design, testing and preparations for mass production were all carried out sequentially. By conducting multiple processes in parallel, the company aims to shorten development times. The time saved will be used to refine performance and quality using actual vehicles.
针对一款基于公司内部正在开发的下一代电动汽车的测试车型，斯巴鲁通过采用以数字化为核心的开发方法 — — 包括通过数字化方式优化设计 — — 将原本需要两年的流程缩短至一年。
For a test car based on a next-generation electric vehicle being developed in-house, Subaru cut a process that previously took two years to one by adopting a digital-focused development approach, including by refining the design digitally.
斯巴鲁曾宣布将与丰田汽车合作开发四款电动汽车车型，但计划在2028年或之后推出一款独立研发的电动汽车。该公司将把这些新开发方法应用于未来的内部研发电动汽车。
Subaru has announced four EV models devised in collaboration with Toyota Motor, but plans to unveil an independently developed EV in 2028 or later. It will apply the new development methods to these future in-house EVs.
汽车制造商还将重组其开发结构，使设计、生产等部门以及供应商共享同一信息。通过减少传统的分工模式——即责任在每个阶段从一个团队转移到另一个团队——斯巴鲁旨在建立一种能够现场解决问题的系统。
The automaker also will reorganize its development structure so that departments such as design and production, along with suppliers, share the same information. By reducing the conventional division of labor in which responsibility passes from one team to another at each stage, Subaru looks to create a system in which issues can be addressed on the spot.
针对其下一代车型，斯巴鲁将增加跨车型共享零部件的数量，以提升开发和生产效率。其目标是实现车型间零部件共通率达50%，并将供应链中的总工序数减少50%。
For its next-generation lineup, Subaru will increase the number of shared components across models to improve development and production efficiency. It aims for a 50% parts commonality rate across models and a 50% reduction in the total number of processes across its supply chain.
针对用于燃油和混合动力车型的平台，斯巴鲁将进一步开发其斯巴鲁全球平台，目标是相比传统设计降低车重100公斤。
For platforms used in gasoline and hybrid vehicles, the automaker will further develop its Subaru Global Platform, seeking to reduce vehicle weight by 100 kilograms compared with conventional designs.
斯巴鲁还计划使用其为标志性水平对置“箱式”发动机开发的涡轮增压和燃烧技术，最终将热效率提高50%。它将减半发动机变体数量，并将资源集中于下一代发动机的研发。
Subaru also intends to use the turbocharging and combustion technologies the company developed for its signature horizontally opposed "boxer" engines to eventually improve thermal efficiency by 50%. It will halve the number of engine variants and concentrate resources on next-generation engines.
“我们应该向中国汽车制造商以及像特斯拉这样的新兴企业学习，”和森表示。“未来，我们将彻底锤炼我们的灵活性。”
"There are things we should learn from Chinese automakers and emerging players like Tesla," Watamori said. "Moving forward, we'll thoroughly hone our flexibility."
