大眾汽車擬推2萬歐元電動車 應對中國挑戰
德國最大汽車製造商大眾汽車(Volkswagen,又名福士)計劃設計及拓展廉價電動車,以應對中國電動車企業的挑戰。大眾汽車行政總裁(CEO)布盧姆(Oliver Blume)表示,集團計劃開發歐洲零售價約2萬歐元的電動車型號,屬於入門版,暫定2027年推出,作為推動歐洲邁向潔淨能源社區的承諾。大眾汽車把廉價電動車計劃暫命名為ID.1。市場人士相信,大眾汽車的行動是為應對中國電動車進軍歐洲的挑戰。布盧姆指出,要建成廉價電動車,需要歐洲不同業界的配合,包括運輸成本要下降。作為行動一部分,大眾汽車須落實在2026年節省100億歐元成本的計劃。大眾汽車品牌主管 Thomas Schaefer 強調,廉價電動車雖然屬於低成本生產,產品仍絕對符合安全標準。 (BC)#大眾汽車 #福士 #電動車 #中國
