吉利控股的沃尔沃汽车和电池初创企业Northvolt计划投资30亿美元的合作中，包括在欧洲开设工厂和研发中心，但它们并不局限在欧洲。
The newly listed premium carmaker and its start-up partner, which are about to open Europe’s first “gigafactory”, announced on Friday that they would set up a joint research and development centre in Gothenburg as part of a SKr30bn ($3.3bn) investment, which will include another factory in Europe to start production by 2026.
“If we can be faster working together than the competition, then we want to use that, not just in Europe but also in the Americas and Asia,” said Hakan Samuelsson, Volvo chief executive. “There’s nothing in our agreement that limits us to Europe. Europe is where we start but of course we make cars globally.”
