上汽通用五菱在印尼投資設廠
SAIC-GM-Wuling, a joint venture between GM, Shanghai-based SAIC Motor and Wuling Motor, confirmed on Monday that it would begin building a new factory this year to manufacture Wuling brand vehicles for Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets, challenging Japanese carmakers’ grip on the region.
通用汽車(GM)、上汽集團(SAIC)和五菱汽車(Wuling Motor)旗下合資公司——上汽通用五菱(SAIC-GM-Wuling)週一確認，該公司今年將開始在印尼建造一家新工廠，旨在爲印尼等東南亞市場生產“五菱”牌汽車，挑戰日本車企的地區主導權。At the weekend, Indonesia’s minister for industry said that Wuling would invest $700m in an assembly plant with an initial annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles. According to the state Antara news agency, production is expected to begin in 2017.
印尼工業部長上週末稱，五菱將對投資7億美元建造一家裝配廠，初期年產能爲15萬輛。據印尼國有媒體Antara報道，該廠預計2017年開始投產。
Wuling declined to confirm the value or scale of the investment, saying only that the facility’s “vehicles will be sold primarily in Indonesia, with the potential to export to other [Southeast Asian] markets”.
五菱拒絕證實投資的價值或規模，僅僅表示，該廠“生產的車輛將主要在印尼銷售，也可能出口到其他（東南亞）市場”。
With growth slowing in China’s car market, the world’s largest with more than 19m passenger vehicles sold last year, Chinese automakers are eyeing export opportunities and beachheads for overseas manufacturing facilities.
隨着作爲全球最大市場市場的中國市場增長開始放緩，中國車企開始關注出口機會，紛紛搶灘海外市場建立生產設施。去年，中國市場乘用車銷量超過1900萬輛。After state-owned Dongfeng Motor paid 800m for a 14 per cent stake in France’s Peugeot last year, the two companies said their strategic partnership would focus on Southeast Asian markets.
去年，國有的東風汽車(Dongfeng Motor)表示，其斥資8億歐元收購了法國標緻(Peugeot)14%的股權。這兩家公司隨後表示，它們的戰略合作將主要關注東南亞各市場。Chinese carmakers led by private sector groups such as Geely and Great Wall have traditionally targeted export and assembly operations in developing markets, such as Russia, Ukraine, Iran and Chile.
在傳統上，以吉利(Geely)和長城(Great Wall)等民營集團爲首的中國車企，瞄準的是俄羅斯、烏克蘭、伊朗和智利等發展中市場的出口和裝配業務。The more recent push by large state-owned groups such as SAIC Motor and Dongfeng represents a new stage in the evolution of China’s auto industry.
近來上汽集團和東風等大型國有車企的動作表明，中國汽車行業的發展已進入一個新階段。Indonesia is Asia’s third-largest country with a population of 240m. GM and SAIC Motor’s Wuling joint venture already sell minivans in India.
印尼爲亞洲第三大經濟體，人口達2.4億。上汽通用五菱目前已在印度銷售小卡車。Wuling, based in the southwestern province of Guangxi, is GM’s largest China joint venture. It was the first manufacturer in China to sell 1m vehicles — in 2009 — and last year increased sales 13 per cent to almost 1.8m units.
上汽通用五菱位於中國西南部的廣西，是通用汽車在設在中國最大的合資企業。2009年，該公司成爲中國首家銷量上百萬的車企，去年銷量增至近180萬輛。In addition to Wuling’s ubiquitous minivans, the joint venture manufactures the popular Baojun sedan.
除了無處不在的五菱小卡車，這家合資企業也生產暢銷的寶駿(Baojun)汽車。Separately, GM and SAIC operate another 50-50 joint venture headquartered in Shanghai.
另外，通用汽車與上汽集團還在上海經營着一家股權比例爲1：1的合資企業。
