07 汽车巨头拒签协议,2040年只销售零排放车前景陷入僵局

A global deal to eliminate new car emissions by 2040 is struggling to attract support from the world’s largest carmakers and governments including the US and China, days before it is due to be revealed at the COP26 climate summit.

一项到2040年消除新汽车排放的全球协议将于几天后在第26届联合国气候变化大会上公布,但目前难以争取到全球大型汽车制造商的支持。

Volkswagen has said it would not sign the deal while Toyota is still debating but is highly unlikely to agree, citing the reluctance of key governments to join the agreement, according to people close to the negotiations. The two companies are the world’s largest carmakers. BMW confirmed it would also not sign the deal.

据知情人士透露,大众已表示不会签署该签协议,丰田仍在讨论签不签,但签的可能性极低,原因是几个关键政府不愿加入该协议。大众和丰田是全球最大的两家汽车制造商。宝马也确认不会签署该协议。

The pledge included a commitment to “work towards all sales of new cars and vans being zero emission globally by 2040, and by no later than 2035 in leading markets” . It is due to be released on Wednesday.

该协议包括承诺“朝如下目标努力,即到2040年在全球范围销售的所有新汽车和新货车都是零排放的,最迟到2035年在主要市场销售的所有新汽车和新货车都是零排放的”。该协议将于周三公布。
