Last month China's Geely settled commercial terms to buy the Sweden-based Volvo division from Ford of the US. If this deal receives government approval, it will become the latest in a series of acquisitions reshaping the global automobile industry. Over the past year, Beijing Automotive (BAIC) has bought platforms and technologies from General Motors' Saab unit, Sichuan Tengzhong has proposed a purchase of the GM Hummer division and Ford has sold Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata of India.
上個月,中國吉利(Geely)敲定了從美國福特(Ford)收購瑞典沃爾沃(Volvo)業務的商業條款。如果獲得政府批準,這筆交易將成為一系列重塑全球汽車行業格局的收購案中的最新一宗。過去一年,北汽控股(BAIC)收購了通用汽車(GM)旗下薩博(Saab)子公司的平臺和技術,四川騰中(Sichuan Tengzhong)提出收購通用旗下的悍馬(Hummer)業務,而福特已將捷豹(Jaguar)和路虎(Land Rover)賣給了印度的塔塔(Tata).
