Chinese Company to Sell Cars in US in 2019

廣汽希望2019年進(jìn)軍美國(guó)汽車(chē)市場(chǎng)

A Chinese automobile maker wants to begin selling cars in the United States by the end of 2019.

一家中國(guó)汽車(chē)廠商希望到2019年年底開(kāi)始在美國(guó)銷(xiāo)售汽車(chē)。

GAC Motor on Monday presented two car models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The new models included an electric SUV called the Enverge and a sedan.

廣汽汽車(chē)公司周一在密歇根州底特律市的北美國(guó)際汽車(chē)展上展出了兩款車(chē)型。新車(chē)型包括一臺(tái)命名為Enverge的電動(dòng)SUV以及一臺(tái)轎車(chē)。

The new car models will go on sale in China later this year.

這些新車(chē)型將于今年晚些時(shí)候在中國(guó)上市銷(xiāo)售。

GAC says it is negotiating with its partner Fiat Chrysler about how to sell the vehicles in the U.S. The company says it already has two research centers and a design center in the U.S.

廣汽表示正在跟其合作伙伴菲亞特克萊斯勒公司就如何在美國(guó)銷(xiāo)售汽車(chē)進(jìn)行協(xié)商。該公司表示已經(jīng)在美國(guó)設(shè)立了兩個(gè)研究中心和一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)中心。

Davis Cole is an industry expert and chairman of the AutoHarvest Foundation in Detroit. The non-profit serves to connect industry inventors with each other and investors.

戴維斯·科爾(Davis Cole)是一名行業(yè)專(zhuān)家，也是底特律AutoHarvest基金會(huì)主席。這家非營(yíng)利組織為行業(yè)研發(fā)者與他人以及投資者牽線搭橋。

Cole told VOA that Americans appear ready to buy Chinese-made cars. He said the automobile company General Motors already sells one, the Buick Envision, in the United States.

科爾對(duì)美國(guó)之音表示，美國(guó)人看來(lái)已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好購(gòu)買(mǎi)中國(guó)制造的汽車(chē)。他說(shuō)，通用汽車(chē)公司已經(jīng)在美國(guó)銷(xiāo)售一款該公司在中國(guó)生產(chǎn)的汽車(chē)，即別克昂科威。

He said the quality of Chinese-made cars earlier was, in his words, "not up to what most people would expect here." However, he said there are clear signs of improvement. The new models show, he said, "much better quality and my guess is that as we look to the future, quality differences will probably disappear."

他說(shuō)，最初中國(guó)產(chǎn)汽車(chē)“達(dá)不到絕大多數(shù)人的期望。”然而，他表示現(xiàn)在有明顯的改善跡象。他說(shuō)，這些新車(chē)型表明“(中國(guó)產(chǎn)汽車(chē)的)質(zhì)量有進(jìn)步，我猜想，當(dāng)我們展望未來(lái)，(中美生產(chǎn)汽車(chē)的)質(zhì)量差異可能會(huì)消失。”

Cole said U.S makers who want to stay on top of the market now must consider former competitors more as partners. He noted Buick as an example. He said it sells about three times as many vehicles in China as in America.

科爾表示，如果美國(guó)汽車(chē)廠商希望保持市場(chǎng)頂級(jí)地位，現(xiàn)在就得更多地將之前的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手視為合作伙伴。他例舉了別克汽車(chē)的例子。他說(shuō)，別克汽車(chē)在中國(guó)的銷(xiāo)量是美國(guó)的三倍。

In the U.S., GAC markets its cars under the name "Trumpchi." Cole said the name was interesting, in his words, "particularly with the criticism the president had of China and their vehicles... that just adds to the drama."

在美國(guó)，廣汽以傳祺(Trumpchi)品牌推廣其汽車(chē)?？茽柋硎?，這個(gè)名字很有趣。用他的話來(lái)說(shuō)就是，“尤其是川普總統(tǒng)對(duì)中國(guó)以及中國(guó)汽車(chē)的批評(píng)，這增加了戲劇性。”

However, Trumpchi vehicles are already popular in China. In 2017, GAC sold 500,000 vehicles, which is 37 percent higher than the year before.

然而，傳祺汽車(chē)在中國(guó)已經(jīng)很受歡迎。2017年，廣汽售出了50萬(wàn)輛汽車(chē)，比前一年增長(zhǎng)了37%。

The company has said the name has no connection to U.S. President Donald Trump. It has been used by GAC since 2010.

該公司業(yè)已表示，這款車(chē)的名字與美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普(Trump)無(wú)關(guān)。自從2010年以來(lái)，廣汽就一直在使用這個(gè)名字。
