东京讯——台湾电子制造商富士康和日本三菱电机周一表示，两家公司计划通过一家50-50的合资企业，共同打造全球电动汽车平台业务，这标志着在快速增长的汽车领域建立一项重大的跨国合作伙伴关系。
TOKYO -- Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn and Japan's Mitsubishi Electric aim to build a global electric vehicle platform business through a 50-50 joint venture, the two companies said on Monday, marking a major cross-border partnership in the rapidly growing automotive segment.
富士康电动汽车首席战略官关淳在新闻发布会上表示，这家名为“三菱电机移动”的合资企业目前是三菱电机的全资子公司，将结合富士康的规模与速度以及三菱电机的技术和制造能力。
The joint venture -- called Mitsubishi Electric Mobility, which is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric -- will combine Foxconn's scale and speed with Mitsubishi Electric's technology and manufacturing capabilities, Jun Seki, Foxconn's chief strategy officer for EVs, said at a news conference.
此次合作发生在比亚迪等中国电动汽车制造商迅速扩大在汽车市场影响力的背景下，该市场长期由日本和德国汽车制造商主导，而这些车企正努力从其传统的内燃机技术优势转型。
The partnership comes as Chinese EV makers like BYD rapidly expand their presence in the automotive market that has long been dominated by Japanese and German automakers, which are struggling to switch from their traditional strength in internal combustion technology.
三菱电机移动总裁田中和宪表示，该合作体现了两家公司的信念，即电动汽车代表汽车行业的未来，自动驾驶技术将成为未来电动汽车不可或缺的一部分。
Kazunori Tanaka, president of Mitsubishi Electric Mobility, said the partnership reflects the two companies' conviction that EVs represent the future of the automotive industry, with autonomous-driving technology set to become an indispensable part of future EVs.
“电动汽车可能将占据汽车市场80%的份额，”关淳表示。关淳于2023年加入富士康，此前他曾担任日产汽车首席运营官和电机制造商尼德克首席执行官。富士康也被称为鸿海精密工业。
"EVs are likely to account for 80% of the auto market," Seki noted. Seki joined Foxconn, the electronics assembler also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, in 2023 after he served as chief operating officer at Nissan Motor and CEO at motor maker Nidec.
三菱电机执行副总裁加贺邦彦阐述了他从日本打造全球电动汽车平台的愿景。“我们相信富士康的愿景，即质量和速度必须同时实现，”他说。日本汽车制造商在拥抱电动汽车方面进展缓慢，近年来其全球市场份额有所下降。
Kunihiko Kaga, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Electric, laid out his vision of building a global EV platform from Japan. "We are convinced by Foxconn's vision that quality and speed must be achieved at the same time," he said. Japanese automakers have been slow to embrace EVs and have seen their global market share decline in recent years.

该新闻发布会紧随周五的一项公告之后，三菱电机将以1150亿日元（约合7.3亿美元）的价格，将三菱电机移动公司50%的股权出售给富士康的一家投资子公司。该交易预计将于2027年10月完成，需待监管部门批准。
The news conference followed an announcement on Friday that Mitsubishi Electric will sell a 50% stake in Mitsubishi Electric Mobility to an investment subsidiary of Foxconn for 115 billion yen ($730 million). The transaction is expected to be completed in October 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.
截至2027年3月的财政年度，三菱电机移动公司预计销售额为8200亿日元，调整后的营业利润率为9.3%。
For the fiscal year ending in March 2027, Mitsubishi Electric Mobility expects sales of 820 billion yen, with an adjusted operating profit margin of 9.3%.
在合资企业框架下，该公司目标是在2030财年实现1万亿日元的销售额。“我们希望尽早实现1万亿日元的目标，”田中表示。
Under the joint venture, the company aims for sales of 1 trillion yen by fiscal 2030. "We hope to achieve the 1-trillion-yen target as early as possible," Tanaka said.
合资企业目前将继续使用三菱电机移动公司这一名称。但是，关表示，随着业务发展，合作伙伴可能会审查50-50的股权结构。
The joint venture will continue to use the Mitsubishi Electric Mobility name for now. Seki said, however, that the partners could review the 50-50 ownership structure as the business develops.
“如果合资企业取得成功，我希望它能从母公司中独立出来，并推进首次公开募股，”关表示。
"If the joint venture works out, I hope it will gain independence from the parent companies and pursue an initial public offering," Seki said.
