Ford to license electric vehicle battery tech from China’s CATL
福特将从宁德时代获得电动汽车电池技术授权
Ford plans to license technology from Chinese battery group CATL to use in a $3.5bn factory it plans to build in Michigan as it accelerates a push into electric vehicles.
福特(Ford)计划从中国电池集团宁德时代(CATL)获得技术授权，用于其计划在密歇根州建造的投资35亿美元的工厂。该公司正加快进军电动汽车领域。
The carmaker’s deal with the world’s biggest battery producer comes as new US tax credits for EVs take effect under the Inflation Reduction Act climate law that passed last year.
这家汽车制造商与全球最大电池生产商达成协议之际，根据去年通过的气候法——《降低通胀法》(Inflation Reduction Act)，美国对电动汽车的新税收抵免已生效。
However, the law prevents cars containing components from a “foreign entity of concern” — a reference to China, Russia, Iran and North Korea — from receiving these tax credits.
然而，该法律禁止含有来自“受关注外国实体”——指中国、俄罗斯、伊朗和朝鲜的实体——部件的汽车获得这些税收抵免。
