这家德国汽车巨头今天宣布，大众汽车将投资25亿欧元（合26.8亿美元），进一步扩大其在安徽省合肥的生产和创新中心，并加强其当地的研发能力。

大众汽车在一份声明中表示，作为其 “在中国，为中国” 战略的关键举措之一，大众汽车正在加快创新步伐。

大众汽车表示，将在合肥生产两款与小鹏汽车（纽约证券交易所代码：XPEV）共同开发的大众汽车品牌车型，其中第一款将是计划于2026年投入生产的中型SUV。
On July 26, 2023, Volkswagen announced that it would invest about $700 million to acquire an approximate 4.99 percent stake in Xpeng, and that the two companies plan to co-develop two Volkswagen-branded EV models for the mid-size vehicle market in China.

Xpeng and Volkswagen will utilize their respective core competencies, the Xpeng G9 platform, as well as connectivity and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) software to build the two models.
小鹏和大众汽车将利用各自的核心竞争力、小鹏G9平台以及连接和ADAS（高级驾驶辅助系统）软件来制造这两款车型。
