国际环保车“决战”上海
BIOFUEL CAR WAR LOOMS IN CHINA
By Geoff Dyer and John Reed in Shanghai
Monday, April 23, 2007
Multinational carmakers are vigorously courting Chinese consumers and lobbying the government over their competing alternative fuel cars as China emerges as a potentially decisive battleground for the new generation of vehicles.
Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford and BMW as well as a number of Chinese companies used the Shanghai auto show, which started this weekend, to exhibit new alternative fuel cars.
Although the market for such vehicles in China at the moment is negligible, the country has the fastest-growing car market. It is likely to overtake the US to become the biggest in the world over the next decade. So if any new technology gains a stronghold in China, it could help shape demand for alternative fuel cars in developed markets

随着中国成为新一代汽车的决胜战场，跨国汽车制造商正以其相互竞争的替代燃料汽车积极博取中国消费者的青睐，并对中国政府进行游说。
丰田汽车(Toyota)、本田汽车(Honda)、通用汽车(General Motors)、福特汽车(Ford)、宝马(BMW)以及许多中国汽车厂商，纷纷利用上周末开幕的上海车展，展示新款替代燃料汽车。
尽管此类汽车目前在中国的市场微乎其微，但中国是增长最快的汽车市场，未来10年有望取代美国成为全球第一大汽车市场。因此，任何一项新技术只要在中国站稳了脚跟，就有可能影响发达市场对替代燃料汽车的需求。
