The Renault-Nissan Alliance has announced a new joint venture with Dongfeng Motor to develop and sell electric vehicles in China in the latest tie-up between western and Chinese carmakers to tap China’s electric car market.

雷諾-日產(chǎn)聯(lián)盟(Renault Nissan alliance)宣布與東風(fēng)汽車(Dongfeng Motor)組建一家新的合資公司，將在中國研發(fā)并銷售電動汽車，這是西方與中國汽車制造商開發(fā)中國電動汽車市場的最新合作。

The new joint venture, eGT New Energy Automotive Co, will develop a new electric vehicle on a small sports utility vehicle platform developed by the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Production is expected to start in 2019.

新成立的合資公司名為易捷特新能源汽車有限公司(eGT)，將在由雷諾-日產(chǎn)聯(lián)盟開發(fā)的一款小型運動型多功能車(SUV)平臺上研發(fā)一款新的電動汽車。預(yù)計將于2019年投產(chǎn)。

The announcement follows a similar move by ford, which has signed a memorandum of understanding with Anhui Zotye Automobile, a major manufacturer of all-electric vehicles, to discuss forming a joint venture to develop and sell electric cars in the country.

China is the world’s largest market for electric vehicles, supported by government incentives designed to reduce the country’s air pollution problem. The Chinese government stipulates batteries for electric vehicles are made in China and there is an increasing push for electric vehicle technology to be developed locally.
