底特律,10月27日消息——知情人士透露,通用汽车计划推出其热销三排座SUV的混合动力版本,此举标志着该公司在大举投资电动汽车后的战略转向。

DETROIT, Oct 27 - General Motors plans to introduce hybrid versions of its popular three-row SUVs, people familiar with the matter said, in a strategic shift after heavily investing in electric vehicles.

知情人士告诉路透社,这家美国车企计划在位于密歇根州兰辛的工厂生产雪佛兰Traverse、别克昂科旗和GMC Acadia的混合动力车型。这些机械结构相似的车型是通用汽车在美国最畅销的车款之一。

The US automaker plans to build hybrid models of the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia at a factory in Lansing, Michigan, the people told Reuters. The mechanically similar models are among GM's strongest sellers in the US.

路透社周二报道上述计划后,通用汽车在一份声明中表示,计划投资其兰辛德尔塔镇装配厂,为混合动力汽车生产做准备。该公司未提供关于时间表或具体车型的细节。

GM said in a statement after Reuters reported the plans on Tuesday that it plans to invest in its Lansing Delta Township assembly plant to prepare for hybrid-vehicle production. It did not provide details on timing or models.

通用汽车CEO称混动车型即将推出 通用汽车首席执行官玛丽·巴拉在上周的财报电话会上告诉分析师,该车企将在多个细分市场推出混合动力车型。

GM CEO SAYS HYBRIDS ARE COMING CEO Mary Barra told analysts during GM's earnings call last week that the carmaker would have hybrids in multiple segments.

她说:“这不会增加额外的(资本支出)和工程投入”,并补充称,随着发布时间临近,通用汽车将透露更多细节。

"It's not going to be additional (capital expenditures) and engineering," she said, adding that GM would say more about them as it got closer to launch.

随着购车者寻求缓解较高汽油价格的压力,美国混合动力汽车销量大增。通用汽车目前在美国仅销售雪佛兰Corvette的混合动力版本,今年市场份额有所下降,而丰田等混合动力领域的强势玩家则实现了增长。

US hybrid sales have taken off as car shoppers seek relief from higher gas prices. GM, which only sells a hybrid version of the Chevy Corvette in the US, has lost market share this year, while strong hybrid players like Toyota have gained.

经销商抱怨通用汽车缺乏混合动力车型,后者将燃油发动机与锂离子电池及电动机相结合,以节省燃油并提升动力。

Dealers have complained about GM's lack of hybrids, which combine a gas engine with a lithium-ion battery and electric motor to conserve fuel and boost power.

通用汽车经销商称他们想要混动车型 参加过近期零售商与通用汽车销售高管区域会议的部分经销商告诉路透社,经销商一直在敦促公司在其产品阵容中增加混合动力车型。

GM DEALERS SAY THEY WANT HYBRIDS Dealers have been pressing the company to add hybrids to its lineup, some of those who have attended recent regional meetings between retailers and GM sales executives told Reuters.

一位经销商说:“我们抓住每一个机会告诉他们,我们需要混合动力车。”

"We've been telling them every chance we get that we need hybrids," one dealer said.

通用汽车高管过去曾表示,混合动力增加了过多的成本和复杂性,他们更倾向于投资电动汽车。混合动力也无助于通用汽车满足严格的排放标准,而这些标准已被特朗普政府推翻。

GM executives have in the past said hybrids add too much cost and complexity, and that they preferred to invest in EVs. Hybrids also didn't help GM meet stringent emissions standards that Trump's administration has upended.

通用汽车在美国市场的份额今年前九个月降至16.6%,去年同期为17.4%,而混合动力领军企业丰田和本田的份额则有所上升。

GM's US market share dropped to 16.6% in the first nine months of the year, from 17.4% a year before, while hybrid leaders Toyota and Honda gained.

通用汽车的混合动力计划在11月3日国会中期选举前几天浮出水面,届时密歇根州的几个关键席位将展开角逐。

GM's hybrid plans have emerged days before the November 3 midterm congressional election, where several key Michigan seats are up for grabs.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府一直渴望宣传其支持美国汽车制造业的努力。

US President Donald Trump's administration has been eager to advertise its efforts to support US auto manufacturing.

美国能源部助理部长奥德丽·罗伯逊定于周二晚些时候参观兰辛工厂,通用汽车计划稍后在那里生产混合动力车。

Energy Department Assistant Secretary Audrey Robertson is scheduled to tour the Lansing factory where GM plans to make the hybrids later on Tuesday.

能源部正在重组之前授予通用汽车的一项拨款,该拨款原本用于支持附近一家兰辛工厂的电动汽车生产,现在将用于支持混合动力车生产。

The department is restructuring a previously awarded grant to GM to support EV production at a nearby Lansing plant to now support hybrid production.

2024年,在乔·拜登总统任内,能源部向通用汽车拨款5亿美元,用于改装密歇根州另一家附近的装配厂以生产电动汽车,但这笔资金并未发放。通用汽车表示,这些资金将用于其兰辛德尔塔镇工厂未来的混合动力车生产。能源部未回应置评请求。

In 2024, under President Joe Biden, the Energy Department awarded GM $500 million to retool another nearby Michigan assembly plant to build EVs but the money was not released. GM said those funds will go to its Lansing Delta Township for future hybrid production. The department did not respond to a request for comment.
