Baru-baru ini, MG4 Urban SAIC (model tempatan di China MG4) mendarat di pasaran Brazil, menerima 2,436 niat pembelian dalam 24 jam pertama selepas pelancaran.
Di pasaran kenderaan elektrik sepenuhnya di Brazil, kehangatan pelancaran awal adalah indikator awal trend jualan seterusnya. Kini, BYD Dolphin Mini, BYD Dolphin dan Geely EX2 yang menduduki tiga teratas jualan kereta elektrik tempatan, semuanya memberikan jawapan yang kuat apabila memasuki pasaran Brazil. Prestasi pelancaran MG4 Urban kali ini juga sama bagusnya, bermakna ia telah memperoleh tiket masuk ke kumpulan teratas.

Faktanya, pelancaran MG4 Urban ke luar negara bukan percubaan produk baru. Pada Ogos 2025, MG4 baharu dilancarkan di China dan segera membuka ruang jualan. Kini, ia telah mencatatkan jualan melebihi 10,000 unit selama 9 bulan berturut-turut, dan pernah menjadi juara jualan kereta kompak di China. Dengan kata lain, sebelum menuju luar negara, MG4 Urban telah melalui ujian yang mencukupi dalam pasaran China yang kompetitif.
Pada awal 2026, MG4 Urban segera memulakan ekspansi luar negara, pertama memasuki United Kingdom, kemudian mendarat di pasaran Eropah Daratan, Australia, Singapura, dan lain-lain. Baru-baru ini, skopnya diperluaskan hingga ke Brazil. Dari Eropah, Australia, Asia Tenggara ke Amerika Selatan, laluan pelancaran produk yang merentasi beberapa pasaran utama telah terbentuk.
Kejayaan MG4 Urban di banyak tempat di seluruh dunia adalah cerminan kepada pertumbuhan yang kukuh dalam perniagaan luar negara SAIC. Pada setengah tahun pertama 2026, jualan luar negara SAIC mencapai 735,000 unit, meningkat 48.7% setaraf tahun, mencatat rekod tertinggi sepanjang masa. Di sebalik itu adalah keupayaan sistem SAIC untuk membina matriks produk global yang merangkumi pasaran pelbagai, bermakna ekspansi luar negara SAIC sedang beralih daripada pengembangan skala jualan ke arah pertumbuhan nilai yang didorong oleh selarasnya produk, jenama dan sistem.
Bukan sekadar satu kereta global
Sebagai langkah terkini dalam pembangunan produk global SAIC, selepas mendarat di pelbagai pasaran luar negara, MG4 Urban telah berturut-turut menerima pengakuan daripada media profesional berwibawa di pelbagai negara.
Dalam tinjauan silang model EV kompak di media automotif berwibawa Inggeris What Car?, MG4 Urban mengungguli Renault 5 dan Hyundai Inster; Media Australia CarExpert menilai harganya mampu milik, namun tiada "rasa murah" dari segi kualiti pemanduan, tahap kelengkapan dan prestasi ruang; Media Jerman Die Welt pula memanggilnya "misteri ruang kelas kompak", mengakui sepenuhnya kecekapan ruang, prestasi kecekapan tenaga dan kegunaan harian.

Selain reputasi media, MG4 Urban juga telah melalui ujian sistem keselamatan berkuat kuasa antarabangsa. Kereta ini telah memperoleh gred keselamatan lima bintang ganda dari Euro NCAP Eropah dan ANCAP Australia-New Zealand. Dalam senario ujian utama seperti impak hadapan condong, impak penuh hadapan dan impak sisi, keutuhan struktur kabin penumpang dan prestasi perlindungan bahagian penting penumpang adalah stabil. Kuasa keselamatan mendapat pengesahan berwibawa daripada dua pasaran tersebut.
Pengakuan konsisten yang diperoleh MG4 Urban di pelbagai pasaran dan sistem penilaian berbilang dimensi mengesahkan bahawa SAIC telah mempunyai kemampuan matang untuk mendefinisikan dan mencipta "kereta global". Kemampuan ini bukan sahaja bergantung pada kekuatan keras pada tahap produk dan teknologi, malah mendapat manfaat daripada kemampuan sistem global SAIC yang dikumpulkan secara jangka panjang dalam bidang penyesuaian undang-undang, piawaian keselamatan dan pelancaran pasaran.
Dan kemampuan sistem global ini, tidak hanya terwujud pada satu produk MG4 Urban.
Setengah tahun ini, SAIC secara berterusan memperluaskan matriks produk global merentasi pasaran berpotensi utama seperti Eropah, Australia-New Zealand, Asia Tenggara dan Timur Tengah-Afrika: Di satu pihak, mempercepatkan pelancaran model utama seperti MG4 Urban, MG S5 EV, MG S6 EV; Di pihak lain, serentak mengeluarkan produk pengingkatan tahunan seperti MG S9 PHEV, MG3 Hybrid+, pelancaran kereta baharu dan pengingkatan model sedia ada dipacu secara serentak.

Dari EV, hibrid ke petrol, daripada hatchback, sedan, SUV ke MPV, pickup, SAIC membina armada produk global melalui pelbagai laluan teknologi selari dan pelbagai strategi selaras mengikut kategori, berbeza mengikut perbezaan struktur tenaga, tingkatan pengguna dan senario penggunaan kenderaan di setiap negara. Matriks produk yang sentiasa berkembang dan berkembang maju ini menjadi sokongan penting bagi SAIC untuk mendalami pasaran global dan menghadapi pelbagai keperluan.
Untuk Ekspansi Automotif China
Menerapkan Label Teknologi
Seiring masuknya ekspansi automotif China ke fasa baharu, skala eksport bukan lagi penunjuk tunggal untuk mengukur kemampuan globalisasi. Keupayaan teknologi dan jenama untuk mencapai kesedaran pengguna tempatan, dan samada penyelidikan, pengeluaran, jualan dan perkhidmatan boleh tertanam dalam industri tempatan, menentukan sejauh mana syarikat boleh berjalan di luar negara.
Pada 2026, jenama MG melancarkan pemasaran luar negara merentasi "pelan global, pengamalan tempatan, dan pengayaan teknologi", berturut-turut menganjurkan dua aktiviti hari teknologi di Frankfurt dan London, menampilkan hasil teknologi Hybrid+ Hibrid Petrol-Elektrik, Plug-in Hybrid+ Hibrid Disambung, SolidCore Bateri Separuh Pepejal, kenderaan pintar dan pemanduan terbantu.

Pentadbiran teknologi ini bukan "memamerkan kekuatan" yang tidak relevan dengan keperluan pasaran, sebaliknya adalah penyelesaian untuk kesukaran transformasi elektrifikasi Eropah. Di Frankfurt, MG mengumumkan pengaktifan Pusat Kejuruteraan Eropah, memasukkan iklim, undang-undang dan tabiat pengguna tempatan secara mendalam ke dalam proses pembangunan produk, serentak memulakan pelan Bateri Separuh Pepejal SolidCore; Ketika ke London, SAIC mengumumkan teknologi Hibrid Disambung Plug-in Hybrid+ generasi baharu, dan memajukan teknologi pemanduan terbantu berikutan persekitaran jalan sebenar Eropah.
Melalui pengucapan proaktif melalui aktiviti hari teknologi, dikombinasikan dengan serangan matriks produk global, SAIC MG secara beransur-ansur membina label jenama "samaan hak teknologi global". Samaan hak teknologi global, bukan sahaja mendorong teknologi yang telah disahkan matang di pasaran China ke luar negara, malah perlu melakukan pembangunan tempatan dengan menggabungkan keperluan tempatan, membolehkan pengalaman kenderaan maju mencapai pasaran pengguna yang lebih luas. MG4 Urban adalah produk perwakilan bagi falsafah ini.
Selain membina kesedaran teknologi, SAIC juga menggunakan panggung budaya automotif global untuk membentuk semula ekspresi jenama MG. Pada Festival Kelajuan Goodwood tahun ini, MG melancarkan secara global dua konsep kereta MG GO! dan Cyber Concept. Dua produk ini mendapat inspirasi rekaan dari model klasik seperti MGB GT, keretapi lumba MG 6R4, MG EX181, sambil melanjutkan gen sejarah jenama, memaparkan kemampuan inovasi MG ke arah era tenaga baharu.

Persidangan teknologi membina kesedaran teknologi, panggung budaya mengukuhkan ketebalan jenama. Jenama MG kini sedang menyatukan secara mendalam pengumpulan jenama seratus tahun dengan kelebihan teknologi elektrifikasi dan pengintelek SAIC. Ia tidak lagi menyampaikan produk tunggal kepada pengguna global, malah menyampaikan latarambelakang teknologi jenama, tuntutan peribadi dan visi jangka panjang.
Berpunca Global
Menuju Pertumbuhan Nilai
Sekarang, SAIC sedang menggabungkan dengan lebih erat pelancaran produk, pembangunan jenama, perkhidmatan pengguna dan penguasaan tempatan, membentuk keupayaan pengurusan jangka panjang di lebih banyak pasaran luar negara.
Di Thailand, MG terus meningkatkan sistem perkhidmatan kenderaan baharu, mengeluarkan strategi perkhidmatan MG SMILE, dan teruskan menyediakan jaminan seumur hidup tiga sistem utama untuk model EV, meluaskan perkhidmatan dari fasa pembelian kenderaan ke kitaran penggunaan; Di India, MG Windsor terus menduduki gred pertama pasaran EV tempatan, melalui pengeluaran tempatan, penyebaran saluran dan susun atur kemudahan pengecasan, sentiasa meningkatkan ekosistem kenderaan baharu; Di Timur Tengah, MG melancarkan model off-road RAKAN yang pertama menggunakan penamaan Bahasa Arab, menjadikan pengamalan tempatan daripada penyelarasan produk menuju pengenalan budaya.

Dari penyelidikan dan pembangunan teknologi di Eropah, ke pelancaran produk di Brazil; Dari peningkatan perkhidmatan di Asia Tenggara, ke pembinaan ekosistem kenderaan baharu di India, globalisasi SAIC telah mengatasi model tradisional eksport kenderaan lengkap, secara beransur-ansur membentuk sistem lengkap yang memacu selaras penyelidikan, pengeluaran, jualan, perkhidmatan dan pembangunan jenama. Pada masa ini, produk dan perkhidmatan SAIC telah memasuki lebih 170 negara dan wilayah, jualan terkumpul luar negara melebihi 7 juta unit, membentuk struktur pasaran global yang disokong pelbagai titik dengan Eropah sebagai teras, Australia-New Zealand, ASEAN, Asia Selatan, Timur Tengah, Amerika.
Dari "Jual kereta ke seluruh dunia" ke "Urus jenama di seluruh dunia", ekspansi luar negara SAIC sedang beralih dari pertumbuhan skala ke pertumbuhan nilai. Skala jualan masih menjadi asas, tetapi nilai jangka panjang yang lebih tinggi ialah teknologi dan produk yang sentiasa diterima, imej jenama yang sentiasa mendalam di minda, dan sistem operasi tempatan yang sentiasa sempurna. Seiring lebih banyak model global memasuki pasaran berbeza, SAIC dengan sistem teknologi yang lebih matang, matriks produk yang lebih kaya, dan pengaruh jenama yang lebih kuat sedang membuka ruang pertumbuhan baharu dalam peta industri automotif global.

On July 23, 2026, Valencia, Spain. On this day, Geely Automobile and Ford Motor—two "old friends" shaking hands again after 16 years—signed a significant agreement in a factory with nearly 50 years of history.
Geely Automobile announced the acquisition of a 34% equity stake in Ford's Valencia, Spain factory for 221 million euros. Both parties established a joint venture, sharing one of Europe's largest automobile factories with an annual capacity of about 500,000 units. Geely will launch two new energy models here, with the first vehicle rolling off the line in 2028; Ford will continue producing three multi-energy models such as Kuga.

This is not only capacity sharing between the two automakers but also a key strategic move in Geely's globalization strategy—from "going out" to "integrating in," from complete vehicle exports to local manufacturing. Geely is exploring its own path amidst the changes in the global automotive industry.
The "Trust Vote" from 16 Years Ago
To understand the origins of this cooperation, we must turn the clock back to March 28, 2010.
On that day, Geely Holding Group acquired Volvo Cars entirely from Ford for 1.8 billion USD. At that time, Geely was an unknown Chinese private car company, while Volvo was a well-known luxury brand. This "small swallowing big" deal shocked the global automotive industry.
But what kept this story going until now was not the deal itself, but what happened after the deal.
After taking over Volvo, Geely did not rush to integrate but chose to "let the tiger return to the mountains"—keeping Volvo's Swedish headquarters and Belgian factories, respecting its independent development system, and fulfilling all commitments to the brand, employees, and unions made during the acquisition. Ford, as the former parent company, witnessed throughout how Geely protected and revived a classic brand with pragmatic actions.

This commercial integrity of "doing what you say" won Ford's respect and trust for Geely. 16 years later, when Ford faced challenges in capacity efficiency and the market in Europe—the Valencia factory has an annual capacity of 500,000 units, but actual production in 2025 was less than 100,000 units—it chose to extend an olive branch to Geely again. Through capacity sharing, it aims to create new energy vehicle products for Geely and Ford brands for the European market, improve capacity utilization, and jointly expand the regional market. Behind this lies trust accumulation across time cycles.
As Geely Holding Group Chairman Li Shufu often said internally: The fun of business lies in making friends and doing deals at the same time, achieving win-win results in every cooperation, and leaving pleasant memories. This philosophy was concretely embodied in this cooperation.

"Light Asset" Going Overseas: Building a "Network of Friends" Instead of Factories
Unlike most Chinese automakers choosing to "build their own factories" for going overseas, Geely took a differentiated path.
In April this year, Geely Holding Group clarified a new strategy for overseas expansion: instead of building new production factories, it proceeds to advance business layout through cooperation, integration, and reviving existing capacity. For Geely, in the context of tense geopolitical situations and changing global patterns, prioritizing the use of existing factories by partners is a more pragmatic choice.
This "light asset" logic has been repeatedly verified in Geely's previous global layout:
Volvo's European factories provide a manufacturing pivot for Geely to enter high-end markets;
Proton's Southeast Asian network allowed Geely to build a High-Tech Automotive Valley in Tanjong Malim, Malaysia;
Renault's Brazilian factories and channels support new energy cooperation between both parties in the Latin America and Africa market;
The establishment of HORSE Powertrain with Renault achieves deep technical synergy for the global market.

Geely and partners use these ready resources together. This Geely-style localization method improves overseas and market expansion efficiency while reducing regional barrier risks. Wanlian Securities Investment Consultant Qu Fang evaluated: "This belongs to a light asset, high efficiency 'going overseas' layout mode. Compared with building factories, the investment is lower, the implementation cycle is shorter, and the pace of capacity expansion can be adjusted flexibly."
The Spanish joint venture is the European debut of this model. Geely secured a 34% equity stake and stable subcontracting capacity with only 221 million euros, quickly obtaining a production base compliant with EU standards. Relying on Ford's accumulated European supply chain and local operation experience over many years, it greatly reduced the cost and risk of overseas layout.
From "Product Export" to "System Going Overseas"
In the first half of 2026, Geely Automobile's overseas sales reached 474,000 units, up 158% year-on-year, exceeding the total export volume of the full year of 2025. Among them, new energy exports were 277,000 units, surging 585% year-on-year, accounting for 58%.
Behind these numbers is a net Geely wove globally over the past decade-plus—acquiring Volvo, investing in Proton, holding Lotus, and cooperating with Renault to build factories in Korea and Brazil. Now, this net has added a key node: Spain.
Geely Automobile Group CEO Gan Jiayue once emphasized that Geely promotes international development by adhering to the strategies of "global synergy" and "regional deep plowing." Geely has built a global strategic system composed of "five major design centers, five major research and development centers, five major test areas, five major energy technology forms, and five major AI intelligent ecosystems."
In January 2026, Geely Holding released the "One Geely, Leading Comprehensively" 2030 strategic goal: achieving a breakthrough in global total sales of 6.5 million, revenue exceeding 1 trillion yuan, and ranking among the top five global automakers by sales by 2030. The core of the new strategy is integration—unified scheduling in R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and global market levels, reducing internal duplicate investment, and improving efficiency through scaled synergy.
In terms of overseas layout, Geely focuses on the "3+2" five major markets: Europe, Eastern Europe, ASEAN, Latin America and Africa, and Middle East Asia Pacific. Plan to increase overseas outlets to 2,200 by the end of 2026. Based on the strong performance in the first half of the year, Geely has adjusted the full-year export target to 900,000 units.
Why Europe? Why Now?
Europe is the highland of the global automotive industry and a key market for Geely's global strategy. But the threshold of the European market is rising.
Currently, the EU has set high additional tariffs on imported electric vehicles from China, and direct export would greatly compress price competitiveness. Geely's choice to localize production in Spain is essentially using "local manufacturing" to bypass tariff barriers. A Citigroup research report points out that local production bases help the company avoid import tariffs that the EU might impose on Chinese electric vehicles and greatly improve price competitiveness.
This strategy was also used by foreign automakers entering China thirty years ago—in the 1990s, international giants like Volkswagen and General Motors established joint ventures with Chinese automakers to enter the Chinese market, bypassing high import tariffs through local production. The logic at the time was "trading technology for market." Now the roles are reversing—under the premise of acting in accordance with laws and regulations, Chinese automakers take technology and products to Europe to "trade capacity for market."

A few words by Ford Europe President Jim Baumback at the signing scene were particularly meaningful. He evaluated Geely as "one of the fastest-growing automotive forces globally," possessing world-class electrification capabilities, speed, and vast global scale; while Ford has over a century of engineering wisdom, an unbreakable bond with European users, and the best workforce. He believes the combination of the two will form unparalleled competitive advantages. This statement is both recognition of Geely and reflects Ford's practical considerations for this cooperation.
From "Going Out" to "Integrating In"
Geely Automobile Group Vice President Nan Shengliang defined this cooperation as a "milestone event in global development." He stated that this will further solidify Geely's localization layout in Europe, enabling Geely to truly establish roots in and deeply cultivate Europe with safe and low-carbon products and leading new energy technologies.
From the European media title at the 2006 Frankfurt Motor Show "The Chinese are coming, but can their cars run?" to sharing a factory with Ford in the European heartland in 2026—in 20 years, Geely has walked the complete cycle from being questioned to being recognized.
Behind this is a deep evolution of Geely's globalization strategy: from simple product export to "going out" to establish overseas sales networks; from early capital acquisition learning advanced brands and technologies to "integrating in" through local manufacturing to deeply integrate into regional markets. Geely is exploring not simply product output, but a new paradigm of "using global resources to serve regional markets, using local capabilities to win global competition."
Ending Words
This factory in Valencia, Spain, was once an important asset of Ford in Europe, and now is becoming a key piece on the board of Geely's new globalization game. From the "small swallowing big" of acquiring Volvo to the "light asset" of regional expansion—Geely has written a progressive history of Chinese automaker globalization in 16 years. And this history is still being written.

July 23 to 24, the Zhongce Rubber Group Indonesia First Distributor Conference themed "Unite Power in Indonesia, Create Win-Win Together" was grandly held in Jakarta. Shen Haoyu, Director, Senior Vice General Manager of Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd., Wang Xianning, Group Deputy General Manager, and MTI Company General Manager, led the Group Core Management, gathering together with 140 guests including Indonesian local core distributor representatives, to jointly explore regional development opportunities and draw a blueprint for deepening the ASEAN market.

16年前,吉利从福特手里买走了沃尔沃。
当时很多人的第一反应不是佩服,而是担心:一家中国民营车企,突然接手一家欧洲豪华品牌,这到底是海外并购,还是花钱买了个祖宗回来供着?

16年后,故事又绕回了福特。只不过这一次,坐在谈判桌两边的人,位置已经有点不一样了。
7月23日,福特与吉利宣布,将围绕西班牙瓦伦西亚工厂成立一家面向欧洲市场的合资公司。福特持股约66%,吉利持股约34%,双方将在这里生产福特和吉利品牌的多能源车型。按照规划,两款吉利新能源SUV将在2028年下线,双方还将联合开发一款同时提供纯电、插混和增程版本的新车。

所以严格来说,吉利并没有把福特工厂连人带地打包买走。
但一件事最值得看的,本来就不是股权表格上谁多了几个百分点,而是谁更需要谁。
瓦伦西亚工厂年产能大约50万辆,曾经是福特在欧洲最重要的制造基地之一,生产过嘉年华、蒙迪欧、Galaxy等一大串欧洲消费者耳熟能详的车型。可如今,工厂主要依靠Kuga维持生产,产能利用率只有大约三成,产量相比2019年已经下降超过七成。

一座能造50万辆车的工厂,现在大部分时间都在等订单。机器还在,工人还在,供应链也在,唯独车不够卖。
这就像一家曾经排队两小时才能吃上的老饭店,后厨、桌椅、服务员一样没少,最后发现大厅里只坐了三桌客人。
这个时候,吉利推门进来了。不是来吃饭,而是带着菜单、厨师和一群新顾客,问福特一句:你这个厨房空着也是空着,要不咱俩合伙干?
这才是这条新闻真正有意思的地方。过去中国车企去欧洲,通常是去学习的。学欧洲人怎么做设计,学德国人怎么调底盘,学百年车企怎么管理供应链。实在学不会,就直接挖几个设计师、底盘工程师和销售高管回来。

那时候的中国汽车,像一个突然赚到钱的学生,满世界寻找名师。欧洲车企坐在讲台上,一边收学费,一边多少带点居高临下。
2010年吉利收购沃尔沃,就是这种时代背景下最有代表性的一笔交易。福特当年为什么卖沃尔沃?因为金融危机之后缺钱,需要收缩战线。吉利为什么买?因为需要品牌、技术和成熟的全球体系。
那是一场标准的中国资本换欧洲技术。
可今天的瓦伦西亚合作,逻辑已经反了过来。福特需要吉利带来的,不只是钱,而是新能源产品、车型平台、开发速度,以及能把工厂重新填满的订单。
换句话说,16年前吉利从福特手里买走了一家欧洲豪华品牌;16年后,福特开始邀请吉利回来,帮助自己解决欧洲工厂到底该造什么车。

这不是简单的“风水轮流转”,而是汽车工业权力关系的一次重新排列。因为对于一家汽车公司来说,真正危险的从来不是少卖一款车,而是逐渐失去定义下一款车的能力。
工厂闲置,只是表象。表象背后,是福特在欧洲新能源转型中的尴尬。
过去几年,福特在欧洲做了不少事情。它与大众合作,基于大众MEB平台推出Explorer EV和Capri EV;又与雷诺合作,希望共同开发更便宜的小型电动车;现在再把吉利请进瓦伦西亚。

合作当然没有错。汽车工业本来就是一个高度协作的行业,没有哪家车企能从芯片到轮胎全部自己造。
但当一家百年车企的新产品越来越依赖别人提供平台、技术或者产能方案,事情就不只是“开放合作”这么轻松了。它说明福特正在用合作伙伴,弥补自己在欧洲新能源产品上的速度和成本短板。

过去的福特,是别人来借平台、借工厂、借品牌。现在的福特,开始到处找搭子。大众负责一部分纯电平台,雷诺帮忙解决小型电动车,现在吉利带着新能源SUV和新平台进入西班牙工厂。
不知道的,还以为福特在汽车行业拉了个群,群名就叫“欧洲业务自救互助会”。
而吉利选择这个时候进入瓦伦西亚,也绝不是去欧洲做慈善。
中国车企出海,最简单的阶段,是把车从国内装上船,运到欧洲卖。但随着关税、本地制造规则和政治审查越来越多,单纯出口正在变成一门成本更高、确定性更低的生意。
欧盟目前仍对中国生产的纯电动车实施反补贴措施,同时也在讨论更明确的“欧洲制造”要求。

所以现在中国车企想的,已经不是“怎么把车卖到欧洲”,而是“怎么让自己变成欧洲本地产业的一部分”。比亚迪前脚挖走匈牙利前外长的目的如此,吉利今天和福特合作西班牙瓦伦西亚工厂也是如此。
毕竟自己从零建厂,像重新注册一个新账号。但进入福特已经运营多年的工厂,就像接手一个实名认证、有信用记录,还有当地政府和工会好友列表的老号。

真正值钱的也不是厂房里那几台冲压机,而是背后的工人、供应商、认证经验,以及与当地政府和社区形成的利益关系。
过去欧洲最担心的是,中国汽车会不会抢走欧洲人的饭碗。现在却出现了一个有点尴尬的画面,中国车企要是不来,一些欧洲工人的饭碗反而更难保住。
欧洲一边给中国电动车加关税,担心中国品牌冲击本土产业;另一边又欢迎中国车型进入本地工厂,因为工厂需要订单,地方需要税收,工人需要上班。
嘴上说的是“防止产业空心化”,身体却很诚实地问了一句,你们那两款SUV,什么时候能上生产线?
不过,看到这里也先别急着开香槟。
中国车企走进欧洲工厂,并不等于从此拿到了永久房产证。恰恰相反,中国企业最近一年多在海外遇到的麻烦,已经多到快能单独拍一部国际商战连续剧。

英国政府强行将中国敬业集团旗下的英国钢铁国有化;荷兰政府对闻泰科技旗下安世半导体实施罕见经营干预;巴拿马最高法院裁定和记黄埔旗下公司运营两座运河港口的合同无效;澳大利亚政府明确推动达尔文港回归本国控制,持有99年租约的岚桥集团已经启动法律行动。
资源国那边也没闲着。尼日尔驱逐三名中国石油企业高管,想要赖账;印尼在依靠中国资本和技术成为全球镍产业中心以后,又开始收紧矿石配额、提高税费、调整定价方式,希望把更多利润和资源控制权留在自己手里。

最难绷的是印度,计划长期对中国企业保持严格审查,比亚迪最近就因进口零部件关税问题遭到调查。印度政府还给比亚迪开了张6.5亿的征税单。
这些事情放在一起看,确实容易让人产生一种风雨欲来的感觉。
好像中国企业刚准备大规模走出去,世界各地就开始关门、换锁,然后告诉你,不好意思,最近“国家安全”四个字有点忙,港口归它管,芯片归它管,钢铁归它管,矿也归它管。
但这恰恰也是中国企业真正开始全球化的证明。
以前中国公司在海外存在感没那么强,当然也没那么多摩擦。你只是卖点商品,别人把你当供应商;当你开始买工厂、拿港口、控资源、建供应链,甚至影响一个国家的就业和产业安全,别人看你的眼神自然就变了。

一个从来不出海的人,确实不会在海上遇到风浪。但这不能说明岸上更安全,只能说明他永远到不了对岸。
所以问题从来不是中国企业还要不要出海,而是出海的方式必须升级。
过去中国企业最擅长算生产成本,一块电池多少钱,一辆车多久下线,效率还能提高几个百分点。
以后还得学会算政治成本,政府会不会换届,产业政策会不会转向,“国家安全”的边界会不会突然扩大,合同出了争议以后,当地法律和仲裁机制到底靠不靠谱。
从这个角度再看吉利与福特的合资,反而更有意思了。
福特持股66%、吉利持股34%,表面上看吉利没有控制权,不够“扬眉吐气”。但这可能恰恰是一种勇气和智慧并存的设计。

吉利没有独自买下一座欧洲工厂,再在门口挂块牌子宣布插旗成功,而是把福特留在船上,把西班牙工人留在生产线上,把当地供应商、政府税收和就业都绑进项目里。
以后真有人想掀桌子,先被砸到脚的就不只是吉利,还有福特、当地工会、零部件企业,以及依赖这座工厂吃饭的家庭。
这才是成熟的全球化。不是走到一个国家,宣布这里以后归我了;而是让越来越多当地人发现,这个项目要是没了,他们也会肉疼。
所以最近这些海外摩擦,当然值得警惕,却不值得因此得出“中国企业不该出海”的结论。

接触面越大,摩擦点自然越多。中国企业走出去的资产越重、进入的行业越关键,遇到的阻力就越不会只是商业竞争,而会变成法律、政治、舆论和国家安全的混合题。
这很麻烦,但也是必经之路。
16年前,吉利从福特手里买走沃尔沃,买的是一张进入全球汽车工业的门票。
16年后,吉利走进福特的欧洲工厂,带去的已经不只是钱,而是产品、技术、效率和订单。
以前中国汽车出海,卖的是车。接下来真正要输出的,是一整套造车方式,以及在陌生规则里活下来的能力。
欧洲汽车最担心的事,确实发生了。中国车企不只把车开进了欧洲市场,也开始把自己嵌进欧洲汽车工业的生产线。
但对中国企业来说,真正的考验也才刚刚开始。
卖车只是第一步。真正的全球化,是一边往外走,一边挨打,一边学会怎么不白挨打。

Half-year revenue of 342.7 billion yuan yet revenue grew without profit growth, Musk bets on Robotaxi to break the deadlock.
Carwest news on July 23, just now, Tesla released its Q2 2026 financial report, and simultaneously held an earnings call to address investors' concerns.
In the second quarter, Tesla's automotive business recovered significantly, delivering 480,100 vehicles, a 25% year-on-year increase, setting a new historical high for the same period.

▲ Overview of Tesla's financial information for the second quarter of the past three years
Tesla's Q2 revenue reached $28.236 billion (approximately 191.2 billion yuan), up 26% year-on-year; Automotive business revenue reached $20.516 billion (approximately 138.9 billion yuan), up 23% year-on-year.
But sales and revenue growth did not bring proportional profit improvement. In the second quarter, Tesla's operating profit was only $398 million (approximately 2.7 billion yuan), a 57% year-on-year decrease; the operating profit margin dropped from 4.1% in the same period last year to 1.4%. Automotive gross margin also dropped from 21.1% in the first quarter of this year to 16.9%.
Looking at the entire first half of the year, Tesla's cumulative revenue reached $50.623 billion (approximately 342.7 billion yuan), of which Automotive business revenue was $36.750 billion (approximately 248.8 billion yuan), still contributing over 70% of revenue.

▲ Overview of Tesla's financial information for the first half of the past three years
On the profit front, Tesla's first-half gross profit totaled $9.471 billion (approximately 64.1 billion yuan), with an overall gross margin of about 18.7%. Regarding deliveries, Tesla produced approximately 860,100 vehicles and delivered approximately 838,100 vehicles in the first half of the year.
Overall, the delivery rebound in Q2 pushed Tesla's first-half revenue to a new high for the same period in the past three years, but the operating profit margin still dropped to 2.65%, and the problem of revenue growing without profit did not get resolved.
Compared to profit performance, Tesla's progress in FSD (Supervised), Robotaxi, and Cybercab was more prominent.
As of the end of the second quarter, Tesla FSD paid user numbers reached 1.48 million, a 56% increase from 950,000 in the same period last year, and up 200,000 from the end of the first quarter this year. Tesla CEO Musk said that as FSD receives regulatory approval in various countries, market demand will further surge.
In addition, Tesla has started pushing FSD v14 lite to vehicles equipped with AI3 (HW3) hardware, distilling the driving behavior of the v14 series on AI4 vehicles to the previous generation hardware platform.
Regarding Robotaxi, Tesla's service scope has expanded to multiple cities in the US. Meanwhile, Cybercab has started production at the Texas Gigafactory and has entered the public road engineering testing phase.
While the profit pressure on Tesla's Model 3/Model Y vehicle sales business continues, FSD subscriptions and Robotaxi are gradually becoming new growth sources outside of Tesla's automotive business.
I. Revenue Grows But Profits Don't, Automotive Gross Margin Declines Quarter-on-QuarterVehicle delivery volume recovered, driving Tesla's Q2 revenue to recover growth.
In the second quarter of this year, Tesla's total revenue reached $28.236 billion (approximately 191.16 billion yuan), up 26% year-on-year; Automotive business revenue reached $20.516 billion (approximately 138.89 billion yuan), up 23% year-on-year.
Specifically, Automotive sales revenue was $20.006 billion (approximately 135.4 billion yuan), Car rental revenue was $364 million (approximately 2.5 billion yuan), and Automotive regulatory credit revenue was $146 million (approximately 1 billion yuan).

▲ Detailed quarterly financial information of Tesla
Tesla stated that Q2 revenue growth was mainly driven by increased vehicle deliveries, FSD subscription growth, expansion of services and other businesses, growth in energy business, and a positive exchange rate impact of about $500 million (approximately 3.4 billion yuan).
However, the decline in average selling price of vehicles offset some of the growth.
In the second quarter, Tesla's gross profit was $4.751 billion (approximately 32.2 billion yuan), up 23% year-on-year; the overall gross margin was 16.8%, down 0.4 percentage points from 17.2% in the same period last year, and down 4.3 percentage points from 21.1% in the first quarter this year.
But the decline in average selling price of vehicles, reduction in regulatory credit revenue, and increased investment in AI projects dragged down overall profit performance.
In the second quarter of this year, Tesla's operating profit was $398 million (approximately 2.7 billion yuan), a 57% year-on-year decrease; the operating profit margin dropped from 4.1% in the same period last year to 1.4%, a year-on-year decline of 2.69 percentage points.
However, Tesla's GAAP net profit was also supported by an investment income. In the second quarter, Tesla recognized $1.005 billion (approximately 6.8 billion yuan) in unrealized gains from its SpaceX equity investment, which was included in other income.
Regarding R&D expenses, Tesla's R&D expenses in the second quarter reached $2.371 billion (approximately 16.1 billion yuan), an increase of about 49% year-on-year.
In terms of automotive manufacturing, Tesla stated that battery pack capacity remains the main factor limiting global automotive production growth.
Tesla is increasing 4680 cell production to support Cybercab, Tesla Semi capacity ramp-up, and Model Y production expansion.

▲ Tesla's battery capacity plans for each factory
Currently, Tesla's Texas 4680 cells have installed annual capacity exceeding 40GWh, the Nevada LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery project is in the early capacity ramp-up phase, with expected annual capacity of 7GWh, while the Berlin 4680 cell project is still under construction.
In addition, the Tesla Semi new factory is in the equipment debugging phase, planning to start production in 2026.
II. Q2 Deliveries Hit Record High, Cybercab Production Starts, FSD Users Reach 1.48 MillionIn the second quarter of this year, Tesla produced 451,800 vehicles, up 10% year-on-year; delivered 480,100 vehicles, up 25% year-on-year, setting a new historical high for the same period.
In the first half of 2026, Tesla cumulatively produced approximately 860,100 vehicles and delivered approximately 838,100 vehicles.

▲ Tesla's quarterly delivery situation
Among them, Model 3/Y remain the core sales driver, producing 442,900 vehicles and delivering 467,800 vehicles in the second quarter, up 12% and 25% respectively year-on-year, contributing approximately 97.4% of the delivery volume.
Other models including Cybertruck produced 8,822 units, down 34% year-on-year; delivered 12,400 units, up 19% year-on-year.
With deliveries exceeding production, Tesla's inventory pressure significantly eased, global vehicle inventory turnover days dropped from 27 days in the first quarter to 15 days, lower than 24 days in the same period last year.
Tesla set delivery records in multiple markets including South Korea, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, etc.
Regarding capacity, Shanghai Factory Model 3/Y annual capacity exceeds 950,000 vehicles, still Tesla's largest vehicle production factory; California, Berlin, and Texas factory related model annual capacities exceed 550,000, 375,000, and 250,000 respectively.
Additionally, Cybercab designed specifically for Robotaxi has started production at the Texas Gigafactory, with installed annual capacity exceeding 125,000 vehicles.

▲ Tesla's installed annual capacity and production status for each factory
The mass-produced Cybercab began public road engineering testing in the second quarter, and in July provided ride services for employees at the Texas factory park.
Robotaxi is also accelerating expansion, currently entering 7 major metro areas in the US. Austin continues to expand areas with unsupervised operations, Dallas and Houston are promoting relevant operations, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa launched unsupervised services in July; San Francisco Bay Area still equips safety drivers. Phoenix and Las Vegas are in the pre-launch preparation phase.

▲ Mass-produced Cybercab in testing
FSD has become another growth point. As of the end of the second quarter, Tesla FSD paid users reached 1.48 million, up 56% year-on-year, up 200,000 from the first quarter; increased by approximately 380,000 in the first half of 2026 alone.
In the second quarter, Tesla FSD net new subscription users set a record, over 55% of new vehicles delivered in North America included FSD subscription, and the order rate also reached a historical high. FSD subscription growth has formed a positive contribution to automotive related revenue and operating profit.
Regarding software, Tesla began pushing FSD v14 lite to vehicles equipped with AI3 (previously referred to by Tesla as HW3) hardware in the US, and pushed it to South Korea in July.
This version distills driving behavior of the v14 series on the AI4 platform to the AI3 platform, adds destination options such as parking lots, roadside, lane entrances, and curbs, and improves performance in scenarios such as navigation, merging/diverging, pedestrian interaction, traffic lights, and vehicle cutting in.
FSD's overseas approvals also made new progress, after the Netherlands, Tesla obtained FSD deployment approval in Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium.
As of July, users in the above opened markets cumulatively used FSD to drive over 50 million kilometers. Tesla stated that FSD implementation is driving local consumers' interest in its vehicles.
III. Cybercab Has No Legal Barriers, Old Owners Need Hardware Upgrade AssessmentDuring the earnings call, Musk and Tesla management focused on responding to Robotaxi operations, Cybercab regulations, Starlink access, Semi autonomous driving capabilities, and AI3 model hardware upgrades. Carwest organized the following 8 key Q&As:
1. How is the current operation of Robotaxi? How to scale up next?
Tesla AI Head Ashok Elluswamy: Currently, Tesla Robotaxi has cumulatively completed over 380,000 miles (approximately 610,000 km) of unsupervised driving in two US states and six cities, with no safety accidents worth noting. Existing accident reports were all collisions or impacts by other road users when the vehicle was stationary.
Tesla started the Robotaxi project in Austin about a year ago, at that time the passenger seat was still equipped with a safety monitor; at the end of 2025, the first batch of fully unsupervised Robotaxi started operations. Since 2026, the weekly unsupervised driving mileage of the fleet has maintained double-digit quarter-over-quarter growth, expected to continue this pace within the year.
Currently, the Robotaxi fleet has been running early versions of FSD V15. V15 planned about seven major improvement routes, with about 40% of improvement content merged into the version used by the fleet. With subsequent capabilities going live, Tesla hopes the engineering investment and preparation time required to enter new cities will gradually approach zero, finally shifting from city-by-city expansion to state-wide operations.
2. How does Tesla want the US to regulate Robotaxi?
Tesla Automotive Engineering Head Lars Moravy: The US Federal level has made不少 progress, especially Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are gradually accepting vehicles designed specifically for autonomous driving.
Tesla believes reasonable regulation should be for regulatory agencies to propose safety goals and problems to be solved, then allow enterprises to choose technical solutions, rather than specifying beforehand that a certain technical route such as LiDAR or millimeter wave radar must be adopted.
Tesla ultimately still needs to win regulatory agency and public recognition with actual vehicle safety performance, which will also become the basis for Robotaxi to continue expanding.
3. What factors limit Robotaxi expansion? Will it integrate with third-party ride-hailing platforms?
Musk: Tesla expects Robotaxi will not face insufficient demand problems, its operational economics will be very attractive, and market demand may exceed Tesla's service capability for a long time. Therefore, Robotaxi business will continue to adopt a highly vertically integrated model, at this stage there is no need to rely on third-party ride-hailing platforms for customer flow.
What truly limits Robotaxi expansion is system reliability, which is increasing the "9" in reliability indicators. Musk stated that ideally, Robotaxi needs to achieve reliability close to 99.999999%. Continuously improving reliability is the main constraint for current fleet scaling.
4. Could Tesla and SpaceX merge?
Musk: Tesla and SpaceX have increasing business overlap and cooperation in many fields, but company merger is not suitable for discussion on earnings call, if future matters involve similar items, formal decision and approval process must be undergone.
Tesla General Counsel Brandon Ehrhart: In early 2026, Tesla deepened its relationship with SpaceX through equity investment and framework agreement, both parties are cooperating on projects such as Digital Optimus.
5. Why not expand the Austin fleet first?
Ashok Elluswamy: Tesla did not concentrate all vehicles in Austin, mainly to verify the generalization capability of the FSD tech stack, proving the system can adapt to multiple cities with different road environments without massive additional development.
Robotaxi is still in the early stage of exponential growth, the absolute number of vehicles seen by outsiders is not large, but the fleet operates basically continuously, single vehicle driving time is far higher than private cars. Therefore, Tesla focuses more on unsupervised driving mileage, rather than simply focusing on vehicle quantity.
Musk: Cybercab is a brand new model, not having millions of vehicles providing road data like Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla needs to use temporarily added steering wheel, acceleration and braking pedals Cybercab to accumulate mileage, complete calibration for chassis and vehicle dynamics. After relevant data meets requirements, Cybercab quantity in each city will increase significantly.
Additionally, ride-hailing and traffic regulatory requirements vary by city and state in the US. City-by-city expansion also helps Tesla solve software, operations, and local regulatory issues one by one, then expand single market fleet size.
6. What federal regulatory barriers remain for removing steering wheels and pedals from Cybercab?
Lars Moravy: Besides regulatory agencies promoting relevant rule adjustments, Cybercab currently has no other major federal regulatory barriers.
In the past few years, Tesla has explained Cybercab's product planning and technical progress to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other departments. Although both sides cannot be completely consistent on all issues, communication is smooth, regulatory agencies are pushing to cancel traditional requirements such as vehicles must be equipped with steering wheels and pedals according to autonomous driving technology development.
7. Can Cybercab become a Starlink mobile hotspot? When will Tesla Semi add autonomous driving capabilities?
Musk: Starlink terminal mounted on Cybercab may become ground network relay in the future, providing Wi-Fi service for nearby mobile phones or other devices, but relevant solution has not been officially announced.
Regarding Semi, autonomous driving capabilities can alleviate US truck driver shortage, and improve safety and comfort of long-haul transport. However, Semi currently occupies a low proportion in Tesla fleet, Tesla will prioritize investment of R&D resources in larger models such as Model 3, Model Y, and Cybercab.
It is expected that Semi's autonomous driving capabilities will make substantive progress at the end of 2026 or early 2027, and will be put into use in 2027, catching up with the timing of Semi entering large-scale mass production.
8. Will old cars equipped with AI3 hardware be upgraded to new hardware?
Musk: In the long term, upgrading hardware for vehicles equipped with AI3 or earlier computing platforms, and already adopting camera-based solution, may be economically feasible. But if vehicles need massive structural modifications, upgrading may not be economically viable.
Tesla may not simply upgrade AI3 vehicles to existing AI4, but wait for the next generation computing platform. The company is developing improved AI4, performance has a moderate increase compared to existing AI4, expected to launch production around mid-2027.
AI5 is also expected to enter mass production around mid-2027, and will be applied to Optimus first. Musk also revealed that AI6 chip has entered the design phase, with the goal of becoming a globally leading edge computing chip.
Conclusion: Tesla Aggressively Pursues GrowthOverall, Tesla's first-half automotive sales walked out of the valley, but low pricing and increased R&D investment continue to squeeze profits, delivery growth has not yet translated into stronger profitability.
At the same time, FSD paid users growing rapidly, Cybercab put into production, Robotaxi accelerating city expansion, showing Tesla is shifting growth focus from simply selling cars to software subscriptions and mobility services.
Next, determining the success or failure of this transformation is not only whether FSD capabilities can continue to improve, but more importantly whether Robotaxi can cross the reliability and regulatory thresholds to achieve true large-scale commercial operations.

近日,《财富》杂志发布2026年中国500强排行榜。赛轮集团股份有限公司以51.19亿美元营收位列第399位,成为榜单中仅有的两家专业轮胎制造商之一。
据中国轮胎商务网(Tirechina.net)了解,作为采用与《财富》世界500强一脉相承评价方法的权威榜单,中国500强同时覆盖上市与非上市企业,集中呈现中国大型企业的经营规模与发展实力。

榜单荣誉是赛轮营收规模持续增长的直观体现,也折射出一家中国轮胎企业,正在用全球产能、材料技术和品牌投入,尝试跨过中国制造最典型的三道门槛——从出口产品到全球经营,从成本优势到技术溢价,再从制造规模到品牌价值。
500强看的是营收,但企业价值不只由营收决定
《财富》中国500强采用与《财富》世界500强一脉相承的制榜方法,核心尺度是营业收入。因此,赛轮排名跃升首先说明一件事:它的经营规模正在快速扩大。2025年,赛轮实现营业收入367.92亿元,同比增长15.69%,创历史新高。

与此同时,归母净利润达到35.22亿元,盈利能力继续增强。其中,境外主营业务收入达282.26亿元,同比增长18.54%,成为推动业绩增长的重要力量。进入2026年,赛轮仍保持稳健增长态势。一季度公司营收与净利润实现双增,毛利率升至26.86%。
在轮胎行业竞争加剧、全球贸易环境复杂多变的背景下,这份成绩说明赛轮正在逐步摆脱单纯依靠成本参与竞争的发展路径,向技术、产品、制造和品牌共同驱动的综合竞争模式迈进。
第一道门槛:把“产品出海”变成“全球经营”
业绩持续增长,离不开赛轮较早展开的全球化布局。作为国内首家在海外建设轮胎工厂的企业,赛轮目前已在国内青岛、东营、沈阳、潍坊及海外越南、柬埔寨、墨西哥、印尼布局多个生产基地,同时埃及与青岛董家口基地建设稳步推进,覆盖国内外重点市场的产能体系。

这种全球化与规模化的双重优势,让赛轮能够依托本地化制造能够缩短产品交付周期,更贴近区域市场需求,同时增强企业应对国际贸易壁垒和供应链波动的能力。由“产品出海”向“产能出海”、“运营出海”深入推进,也为赛轮境外收入增长及全球市场拓展提供了有力支撑。
第二道门槛:把制造能力变成产品溢价
中国轮胎企业过去最熟悉的竞争方式,是用制造效率和供应链成本换取市场份额。但当产能走向全球、规模逼近头部,继续依赖低价会迅速触及天花板,没有更高附加值的产品,规模甚至可能变成负担。
赛轮试图用技术打破这一约束。2025年,公司研发投入达到11.47亿元,围绕材料、配方、结构及智能制造持续攻关。其中,以“液体黄金”为代表的核心技术,推动了赛轮轮胎产品在安全、节能和耐磨等关键性能上实现综合提升;在高技术门槛的巨型工程子午线轮胎领域,赛轮也已实现49英寸至63英寸巨型工程子午胎的全系列产业化。巨持续的研发投入正在转化为更具辨识度的产品优势,也为赛轮提升盈利质量提供支撑。


第三道门槛:从“全球卖货”走向“全球品牌”
轮胎是一个品牌认知建立缓慢、信任成本极高的行业。消费者更换频率低,又直接关系行车安全,因此成熟品牌积累的口碑、渠道和原厂配套关系,往往比单次广告更难复制。这也是国际头部企业能够长期保持溢价的重要原因。
在Brand Finance“2025年全球最具价值轮胎品牌榜单”中赛轮位列第10位,成为排名最高的中国轮胎品牌。品牌价值与《财富》排名在同一年同步上升,说明赛轮的增长不再只有产能扩张这一条线,技术传播、渠道建设和全球市场认知也在形成合力。

行业评论
对比2025年首度入围时的第426位,到今年的第399位,赛轮完成的是一次规模坐标的上移。更值得行业关注的是,2026年《财富》中国500强中,专业轮胎制造商只有中策橡胶和赛轮两家。这说明中国轮胎产业已经出现能够进入大型企业序列的头部力量,但行业集中度、品牌溢价和全球治理能力仍有继续提升的空间。
接下来,赛轮面前的考题会比扩产更复杂:新建产能能否顺利爬坡,全球供应链能否高效协同,研发投入能否转化为高附加值产品,品牌增长能否抵消成本与贸易压力。任何一项出现短板,都可能让规模增长与价值增长发生脱节。
因此,进入《财富》中国500强并不意味着赛轮已经完成高端化,而是意味着它获得了向更高价值区间进发的规模基础。过去,中国轮胎企业依靠制造效率进入全球市场;未来,真正决定排名含金量的,将是技术、品牌和全球运营共同创造的利润质量。
榜单记录的是赛轮已经走了多远,下一张财务报表和下一轮全球市场竞争,才会回答它还能走多高。
