Lucid's Saudi Success: 800 Electric Vehicles Roll Off Production Line
Lucid's Saudi Success: 800 Electric Vehicles Roll Off Production Line
Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) has reportedly manufactured approximately 800 electric vehicles (EVs) at its Saudi Arabian production facility, concurrently training over 200 local employees.
据报道，Lucid Group Inc（纳斯达克股票代码：LCID）已在其沙特阿拉伯生产工厂生产了约800辆电动汽车（EV），同时培训了200多名当地员工。
What Happened: The EV manufacturer inaugurated its first international plant in Saudi Arabia in September, with an initial production capacity of 5,000 EVs per year.
发生了什么：这家电动汽车制造商于9月在沙特阿拉伯开设了第一家国际工厂，初始年产能为5,000辆电动汽车。
Lucid holds a purchase agreement with the Saudi Arabian government to sell up to 100,000 vehicles over the next decade.
Lucid与沙特阿拉伯政府签订了购买协议，将在未来十年内出售多达10万辆汽车。
The vehicles were initially built in Arizona and then transformed into semi-knockdown kits, undergoing final assembly at the Saudi Arabian factory. The vehicles are not counted as factory-gated until this final assembly.
这些车辆最初在亚利桑那州制造，然后改装成半拆式套件，在沙特阿拉伯工厂进行最终组装。直到最后一次组装，这些车辆才算作出厂门禁。
As reported by Reuters, Lucid has assembled approximately 800 cars at its Saudi Arabian facility since its opening, according to the company's Middle East managing director, Faisal Sultan. He emphasized that the primary focus is on training personnel for the anticipated opening of a fully operational factory capable of manufacturing cars by 2026.
据路透社报道，Lucid中东董事总经理费萨尔·苏丹（Faisal Sultan）表示，自开业以来，Lucid已在其沙特阿拉伯工厂组装了约800辆汽车。他强调说，主要重点是培训人员，以期在2026年之前开设一家能够生产汽车的全面运转的工厂。
Construction for the facility has commenced, but the timeline for its opening depends on supply chains and workforce development.
该设施的建设已经开始，但开放的时间表取决于供应链和劳动力发展。
Despite Lucid's primary operations being in the U.S., it is 60% owned by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF). The PIF has invested around $5.4 billion in Lucid since 2018.
尽管Lucid的主要业务在美国，但它由沙特阿拉伯的主权财富基金公共投资基金（PIF）持有60％的股权。自2018年以来，太平洋投资基金已向Lucid投资了约54亿美元。
Why It Matters: During Lucid's third-quarter earnings call, the company noted that it had shipped approximately 700 EVs to Saudi Arabia for final assembly.
为何重要：在Lucid的第三季度财报电话会议上，该公司指出，它已向沙特阿拉伯运送了大约700辆电动汽车进行最终组装。
While Lucid had aimed to deliver more vehicles in Saudi Arabia in the third quarter, the scale-up process took longer than expected, according to the company's CFO, Sherry House. Deliveries are expected to increase in the fourth quarter.
该公司首席财务官雪莉·豪斯表示，尽管Lucid的目标是在第三季度在沙特阿拉伯交付更多汽车，但扩大规模所花费的时间比预期的要长。预计第四季度的交付量将增加。
Lucid reported third-quarter revenue of $137.81 million and a quarterly loss of 28 cents per share while producing 1,550 vehicles. To align deliveries with production, the company is adjusting its target to produce 8,000-8,500 vehicles this year, down from the initial projection of over 10,000 units.
Lucid公布的第三季度收入为1.3781亿美元，每股季度亏损28美分，同时生产1,550辆汽车。为了使交付与产量保持一致，该公司正在调整其目标，今年生产8,000-8,500辆汽车，低于最初预测的超过10,000辆。
