Daimler, Volvo mull combustion engine cooperation: report


BERLIN (Reuters) - Luxury German carmaker Daimler (DAIGn.DE) and Volvo Cars,
owned by China’s Geely, are considering cooperating to cut the costs of
developing combustion engines, a magazine reported on Sunday, citing unnamed
company sources.

未具名公司內部消息人士說，德國豪華汽車製造商、Benz 母公司Daimler 將和
中國吉利旗下的Volvo 汽車考慮合作，削減內燃機開發成本。

The Automobilwoche weekly cited a Volvo manager as saying there were initial
talks with Daimler, but no concrete plans, while a company spokesman said it
was too early to talk about firm projects, although it was not excluding
anybody.

汽車週刊引用Volvo 經理的話說，他們與Daimler 進行了初步會談，但還沒有
具體計畫。而公司發言人表示，現在談論此項目還言之過早，但也不排除任何
可能性。

A Daimler spokesman said the company’s cooperation with Geely, which owns a
10% stake in the German carmaker, was developing in a positive way, but
declined to comment further.

Daimler 發言人表示，他們與擁有該公司10% 股份的吉利正在積極合作發展，
不過拒絕就此事進一步評論。

Global tariffs, accelerated by a trade war between China and the United
States, as well as higher investment requirements for electric and autonomous
vehicles, are forcing carmakers to seek new ways to cut and share costs.

中美貿易戰balabalabala....

In October, Volvo said it would merge its engine development and
manufacturing assets with those of Geely, creating a division to supply
in-house brands and also potentially others with next-generation combustion
and hybrid engines.

今年10月，Volvo 表示，將把自己的引擎開發和製造資源與吉利合併，成立一
個部門，為內部品牌及可能會向其他擁有下一代燃油和混合動力引擎的品牌提
供產品。

The Automobilwoche said this new division would start operating by the end of
March, which could be a possible starting point for cooperation with Daimler,
while a further step could be a partnership to develop electric power trains.

汽車周刊表示，這個新部門將在3月底前開始運營，這可能是與Daimler 合作的
一個起點，而下一步可能是合作開發電動傳動系統。

Geely and Daimler have said they plan to build the next generation of Smart
electric cars in China through a joint venture and the two companies are also
cooperating on a premium ride-hailing service in China.

吉利和Daimler 已表示，它們計劃通過一家合資企業在中國生產下一代Smart，
兩家公司還將在中國的一個高端叫車服務領域展開合作。

Geely bought Volvo Cars in 2010 from Ford Motor Co (F.N), allowing the
Swedish brand to operate on an arms-length basis. But in recent years, it has
deepened cooperation between the two brands.

Volvo already supplies engines to some Geely-branded vehicles, sharing
technology through Geely’s Lynk brand. Both companies share and develop
common vehicle platforms.

=====================================================================

以後會不會變成吉利與Daimler 集團共用燃油引擎與電動技術呢？

兩個大集團合作開發然後共用確實能降低成本

不過這也會讓吉利(Volvo)、Daimler 在骨子裡的差別越來越小

就不知道一些以品牌為導向的車主能不能接受了
