多家德國汽車公司與中國展開合作

Top German car makers including BMW and Volkswagen have inked a series of deals to continue developing electric and self-driving cars in China.

包括寶馬、大眾在內(nèi)的德國頂級汽車制造商近日簽署了一系列協(xié)議，將繼續(xù)在中國研發(fā)電動汽車和自動駕駛汽車。

The flurry of commitments coincides with a trip to Berlin by Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang, but italso reflects a growing recognition that China holds the key to the auto industry's future.

簽署這一系列協(xié)議時恰逢李克強總理訪問德國，這讓人們越來越意識到，中國對汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)未來的發(fā)展至關(guān)重要。

Factories in China produced about 25 million passenger cars last year, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. China is already the top market for many global car brands, and its drivers purchase more electric vehicles than any other country.

國際汽車制造商協(xié)會提供的數(shù)據(jù)，中國工廠去年生產(chǎn)了約2500萬輛乘用車。中國已然成為全球眾多汽車品牌的最大市場，中國司機購買的電動汽車數(shù)量比任何國家都要多。

BMW and Volkswagen have announced a total of six new deals this week alone.
