沃爾沃擬在美國建廠向中國出口汽車

Volvo, the Sweden-based, Chinese-owned carmaker, is seeking to head off protectionist sentiment in the US by exporting cars to China from an American plant.

總部駐瑞典、由中國人持有的汽車製造商沃爾沃(Volvo)正試圖通過從美國工廠向中國出口汽車，打消美國的貿易保護主義情緒。

The factory being built in South Carolina will employ 4,000 workers and produce a small sedan that will be sold in Europe and China starting in 2018.

這家建在南卡羅來納州的工廠將僱傭4000名工人，生產一種從2018年開始在歐洲和中國銷售的小型轎車。

H?kan Samuelsson, chief executive of Volvo Cars, said producing cars in the US for export — particularly to China — offers a powerful rebuttal to accusations that China is taking US jobs.

沃爾沃汽車(Volvo Cars)首席執行官霍坎?薩穆埃爾鬆(H?kan Samuelsson)表示，在美國生產汽車用於出口——尤其是向中國出口，是對中國正在奪走美國工作崗位的指控的有力反駁。

“From an American horizon we see that we create 4,000 jobs in South Carolina. Half of those jobs will be related to export to Europe and China” said Mr Samuelsson, speaking at the Volvo booth in the Shanghai Auto Show.

薩穆埃爾鬆在上海車展(Shanghai Auto Show)的沃爾沃展位表示：“從美國的角度來看，我們看到我們在南卡羅來納州創造了4000個工作崗位。其中半數工作崗位將與對歐洲和中國的出口有關。”

“The Volvo trade flow globally is level, fair and balanced. It’s different than just setting up a factory in Mexico and selling into the US. It’s a global production system and good for everybody,” he said.

他說：“沃爾沃在全球的貿易流向是平等、公正和均衡的。這與僅僅在墨西哥設廠再向美國銷售不同。這是一種全球生產體系，有益於每一個人。”

Volvo was bought in 2010 by Chinese domestic automaker Geely, making it the only Chinese-owned carmaker now producing vehicles in China for export to the US — it exports the S90 sedan from a plant in the city of Daqing.

沃爾沃於2010年被中國國內的汽車製造商吉利(Geely)收購，成爲唯一一個目前在中國生產汽車、用於向美國出口的歸中國人所有的汽車製造商——該公司出口一款在大慶市一家工廠生產的S90轎車。
