Chinese car companies have been ordered to suspend investment in European countries that support taxes on China, according to sources
10月31日消息，据路透社报道，有两位知情人士称中国已指示其汽车制造商暂停在支持对中国制造电动汽车征收额外关税的欧洲国家进行大规模投资。这一策略可能会进一步加剧欧洲内部的分歧。欧盟新的关税高达45.3%，经过一年的调查后开始生效，导致欧盟内部对此出现不同意见，并触发了北京方面的报复。
在一次商务部召开的会议上，包括比亚迪、上汽集团和吉利在内的中国汽车制造商被告知应暂停在支持该关税提议的国家的工厂等重资产投资计划。同时，几家外国汽车制造商也参加了会议，与会者被告知在弃权国家的投资应谨慎，并被鼓励投资于投票反对关税的国家。
中国汽车制造商在欧洲的投资计划受到影响，此举似乎表明中国政府正寻求在与欧盟就关税问题进行谈判时发挥影响力，以避免对关键市场的电动汽车出口大幅下降。2023年，欧洲市场占中国电动汽车出货量的40%以上。
On October 31, according to Reuters, two people familiar with the matter said that China has instructed its automakers to suspend large-scale investments in European countries that support additional tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. This strategy is likely to further exacerbate divisions within Europe. The new EU tariffs of up to 45.3 per cent, which came into effect after a year-long investigation, have divided opinion within the bloc and triggered retaliation from Beijing.
At a meeting convened by the Ministry of Commerce, Chinese automakers including BYD, SAIC Motor and Geely were told they should suspend plans to invest in heavy assets such as factories in countries that support the proposed tariffs. At the same time, several foreign automakers also attended the meeting, and participants were told to be cautious about investing in countries that abstained and were encouraged to invest in countries that voted against the tariffs.
Chinese carmakers' investment plans in Europe have been hit in a move that suggests Beijing is seeking leverage in negotiations with the EU over tariffs to avoid a sharp drop in electric vehicle exports to key markets. In 2023, the European market will account for more than 40% of China's electric vehicle shipments.

Audi is in talks with potential investors for the Brussels plant
据外媒报道，10月29日，大众汽车集团旗下豪华品牌奥迪的发言人表示，奥迪正与一家潜在投资者就其陷入困境的布鲁塞尔工厂进行谈判。奥迪内部消息透露，该潜在投资者是一家商用车制造商。
除此之外，奥迪工作小组也正在探索布鲁塞尔工厂的其他用途，但目前尚未得出结论。
奥迪曾多次批评其布鲁塞尔工厂所处的中心地理位置（铁路线上）阻碍了其进行扩建和内部物流更新，使得该工厂的运营成本难以降低。此外，该工厂内没有车身车间，因此无法独立进行生产活动，而必须由其他工厂供应重要的车身部件。
除了奥迪布鲁塞尔工厂本身面临的挑战外，该工厂生产的车型也面临需求不足的困境。该工厂目前约有3,000名员工，生产奥迪Q8 e-tron电动豪华SUV，但该车型将于明年2月停止生产。
Audi, the luxury brand owned by Volkswagen Group, is in talks with a potential investor about its troubled Brussels plant, a spokesman for the carmaker said on Tuesday. According to sources inside Audi, the potential investor is a commercial vehicle manufacturer.
In addition, the Audi working group is also exploring other uses for the Brussels plant, but has not yet reached a conclusion.
Audi has repeatedly criticized the central location of its Brussels plant (on a railway line) for preventing expansion and internal logistics updates, making it difficult to reduce the plant's operating costs. In addition, there is no body shop in the plant, so production activities cannot be carried out independently, and important body components must be supplied by other factories.
In addition to the challenges facing the Audi Brussels plant itself, the models produced at the plant are also suffering from a lack of demand. The plant, which currently employs about 3,000 people, makes the Audi Q8 e-tron electric luxury SUV, but production of that model will stop in February.

Suzuki will supply Indian-made electric cars to Toyota

透社的报道称，铃木汽车控股的马鲁蒂铃木（Maruti Suzuki）将于2025年春季开始在其位于印度西部古吉拉特邦（Gujarat）的工厂生产这款电动汽车。该工厂计划增加第四条生产线，仅用于生产电动汽车，年产能为25万辆。除了古吉拉特邦工厂外，铃木没有在其他地方生产该款车型的计划。该公司此前曾表示，其计划在全球范围内供应这款电动汽车，包括日本市场和欧洲市场。
根据丰田汽车和铃木汽车的声明，马鲁蒂铃木将向丰田汽车供应的电动车型是由铃木研发，但该款车型的平台是由铃木、丰田和大发汽车联合开发。
Japan's Suzuki Motor India unit will supply its first electric vehicle to Toyota Motor, the two companies said in a statement on Oct. 30. Shares in Maruti Suzuki rose about 4% on the news, near session highs.
Maruti Suzuki, which is controlled by Suzuki Motor, will begin production of the electric vehicle at its plant in the western Indian state of Gujarat in spring 2025, the Reuters report said. The plant plans to add a fourth production line exclusively for electric vehicles, with an annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. Apart from the Gujarat plant, Suzuki has no plans to build the model anywhere else. The company has previously said it plans to supply the electric vehicle worldwide, including the Japanese market and the European market.
According to statements from Toyota and Suzuki, the electric model that Maruti Suzuki will supply to Toyota was developed by Suzuki, but the platform for the model was jointly developed by Suzuki, Toyota and Daihatsu Motor.

The Biden administration has proposed banning the use of critical Chinese software and hardware in smart connected cars on U.S. roads. In response, the Mexican government expressed concern, saying that the proposal could have a "substantial impact on the Mexican auto industry." Economically, it carries the risk of potential trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, higher production costs, and possible reductions in direct and indirect employment."

Japanese carmakers' global production fell for the first time in four years
据外媒报道，在截至今年9月份的6个月里，日本汽车制造商的全球产量出现了4年来的首次下降，原因是丰田汽车集团的合规丑闻以及来自中国竞争对手的更激烈竞争。
10月30日公布的行业数据显示，在今年4-9月期间，日本8家乘用汽车制造商一共生产了1,187万辆汽车，较上年同期下降6%，较2022年同期基本持平，但2022年汽车供应链因半导体和其他零部件短缺而中断。
这意味着，随着日本汽车制造商努力收复在电动汽车领域的失地，它们的全球产量可能正在见顶。
Japanese automakers' global production fell for the first time in four years in the six months to September, due to a compliance scandal at Toyota Motor Group and tougher competition from Chinese rivals.
In the April-September period, Japan's eight passenger automakers collectively produced 11.87 million vehicles, down 6 percent from a year earlier and essentially flat from the same period in 2022, when the auto supply chain was disrupted by shortages of semiconductors and other components, industry data showed on Oct. 30.
That means Japanese automakers' global production may be peaking as they struggle to make up lost ground in electric vehicles.
