Volkswagen Abandons Renault Partnership On Affordable EV Project: Report
Volkswagen AG (OTC:VWAGY) has reportedly exited discussions with Renault SA (OTC:RNSDF) (OTC:RNLSY) about collaborating on an affordable electric version of the Twingo car.
據報道,大衆汽車公司(場外交易代碼:VWAGY)已退出與雷諾汽車公司(場外交易代碼:RNSDF)(場外交易代碼:RNLSY)關於合作開發經濟實惠的Twingo電動版汽車的討論。
This development represents a challenge for European car manufacturers as they strive to compete with more cost-effective Chinese alternatives, reported Reuters.
路透社報道,這一發展對歐洲汽車製造商來說是一項挑戰,因爲他們正在努力與更具成本效益的中國替代品競爭。
Despite several months of negotiations, the two companies could not reach an agreement. Reuters said one source mentioned that a deal was close, but ultimately, Volkswagen decided to proceed independently.
儘管進行了幾個月的談判,但兩家公司仍未能達成協議。路透社說,一位消息人士提到,交易已經接近尾聲,但最終,大衆汽車決定獨立行事。
The report further noted Renault would continue to develop its electric Twingo, slated for release in 2026, without Volkswagen's involvement, but also remained open to other partners, including those within its alliance, such as Nissan Motor Co Ltd (OTC:NSANY) and Mitsubishi Motors Corp (OTC:MMTOF).
報告進一步指出,雷諾將在沒有大衆汽車參與的情況下繼續開發定於2026年發佈的電動Twingo,但也對其他合作伙伴持開放態度,包括其聯盟內的合作伙伴,例如日產汽車有限公司(場外交易代碼:NSANY)和三菱汽車公司(場外交易代碼:MMTOF)。
On the other hand, Volkswagen is expected to finalize its own strategy for a low-cost electric vehicle soon, with a target launch by 2027.
另一方面,預計大衆汽車將很快敲定自己的低成本電動汽車戰略,目標是到2027年推出。
