The boss of Sweden’s Polestar has declared the end of globalisation for auto groups following a US government decision to bar future sales of its electric vehicles.
瑞典极星(Polestar)的掌门人宣布汽车集团全球化发展的时代已经终结。此前美国政府决定禁止其电动汽车未来在美国销售。
“I think it just accelerates the regionalisation everywhere, not only for us but for the entire industry,” Michael Lohscheller, chief executive, said in an interview on Thursday. “The days are over when everything was global.”
“我认为这只会加速各地的区域化进程,不仅是我们,对整个行业都是如此,”极星首席执行官迈克尔•洛赫舍勒(Michael Lohscheller)周四在接受采访时表示。“一切皆全球化的日子已经过去了。”
The comments came after Polestar, which is majority owned by China’s Geely, was barred from selling new EVs in the US from next year as it was denied authorisation required under US connected vehicle rules designed to restrict Chinese technology.
他发表此言之前,由中国吉利(Geely)持有多数股权的极星,明年起将被禁止在美国销售新电动汽车,因根据美国旨在限制中国网联汽车技术的规则,该品牌未能获得监管许可。
