沃爾沃今年將在美國銷售中國造的轎車

BEIJING (Reuters) - Volvo Car Group plansto export a Chinese-made midsize sedan this year to the United States, and isstarting to weigh the possibility of building a vehicle factory in the United States, people familiar with the Chinese-owned automaker's plans said.

北京（路透社）——沃爾沃汽車集團計劃在今年將一款在中國製造的中型轎車出口到美國，並已經開始衡量在美國建一家汽車工廠的可能性，熟知這家中國人所有的汽車廠家的計劃的內幕人士們說。

Both moves would be significant for the auto industry and Volvo's parent, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. So far,global automakers have chosen not to ship vehicles made in China to the et in any significant numbers, and efforts by Chinese automakers to export vehicles to the United States have foundered.

對汽車行業和沃爾沃母公司浙江吉利來公司來說，這兩個舉措都是至關重要的。目前爲止，全球汽車廠家都還沒有選擇將在中國製造的汽車運輸到美國市場，而中國廠家試圖向美國市場出口汽車的努力也都失敗了。

Volvo is also behind rivals BMW and Mercedes in establishing production in the United States, which insulates the German brands from currency fluctuations.

沃爾沃也正追隨競爭對手寶馬和奔馳的腳步試圖在美國建造生產線。德國品牌在美國建廠是爲了避免幣值波動帶來的影響。

Volvo might also export a large"strategic, flagship" sedan based on a newly developed underpinningtechnology, said the executives, who work for Zhejiang Geely. That car would beshipped out of China in addition to the Volvo S60L, a long wheel base version of the S60 sedan Volvobegan producing in the southwestern China city of Chengdu more than a year ago.

浙江吉利的經理人們說，沃爾沃還可能出口一種以新研發的支撐技術爲基礎的大型“戰略性的旗艦型”轎車。另外一種出口的是S60L，一年前已經在成都開始生產，這種車是S60的長軸距版本。

The moves are aimed at reviving Volvo's momentum in the U.S. market where volume last year fell 8 percent from 2013 to56,371 vehicles. The U.S. market, which has long been Volvo's largest market,was replaced by China last year. China bought 81,221 Volvos in 2014, up 33 percent.

這些舉措是爲了恢復沃爾沃在美國市場的勢頭，去年沃爾沃在美國的銷量相比2013年下降了8%達到56371輛。美國市場一直都是沃爾沃最大的市場，但是去年被中國替代。沃爾沃在中國2014年的銷量是81221，相比2013年提升了33%。
