6月10日,消息人士称,尽管欧洲各国政府对廉价的中国电动汽车充斥市场表现出谨慎态度,但他们正在为这些电动汽车公司带来的制造业投资和就业机会份额展开激烈的竞争。
尽管国内制造成本较低,但比亚迪、奇瑞汽车和上汽集团等中国电动汽车制造商热衷于在欧洲建立自己的品牌,以节省运输成本和潜在的关税。咨询公司贝恩公司(Bain & Company)的合伙人詹卢卡·迪·洛雷托(Gianluca Di Loreto)表示,“中国汽车制造商知道,如果他们想在欧洲客户中引起兴趣,他们的汽车就必须被视为欧洲汽车。这意味着在欧洲生产。沃尔沃不仅开始将生产转移到比利时,而且匈牙利去年还获得了比亚迪的工厂投资,并正在与长城汽车进行谈判。同样,西班牙也获得了奇瑞的投资,而东风等多家整车厂也与罗马进行了投资洽谈。European Companies Compete to Attract Chinese EV ProducersOn June 10th,
sources have reported that despite the caution the European governments have
shown toward budget chinese electric vehicles flooding their markets, they are
engaged in a fierce competition for a share of the manufacturing investment and
jobs these EV companies bring.Despite cheaper domestic
manufacturing costs, Chinese EV makers such as BYD, Chery Automobile and SAIC
Motor are keen on building their brands in Europe to save on shipping costs and
potential tariffs.Gianluca Di Loreto, a partner
at consultancy firm Bain & Company, stated that “Chinese automakers know
their cars must be perceived as European if they want to bear interest among
European customers. This means producing in Europe.”Not only has Volvo started
shifting its production to Belgium, but Hungary had secured a factory
investment from BYD last year and is negotiating with Great Wall Motor.
Likewise, Spain has also secured investment from Chery while several automakers
such as Dongfeng have held investment discussions with Rome.European
