The automotive industry was once the pride of Europe.

It still supports 13 million jobs and generates 7% of total European economic output.

它仍然支撐著 1300 萬個工作機會，並貢獻了歐洲總經濟產出的 7%。

But the shift to electric mobility took longer than expected.

不過，電動化轉型的速度比預期來得慢。

The battery, which is the core component of an electric car, usually doesn't come from Europe, but

電動車的核心零組件電池，通常不是來自歐洲，

Six of the top 10 battery cell manufacturers are from China.

全球前十大電池芯製造商中，有六家來自中國。

In Chinese, producers already control over 67% of the global market.

中國的生產商已經掌控了全球超過 67% 的市場。

Long transport routes and geopolitical tensions pose challenges to global supply chains.

長途運輸路線和地緣政治的緊張，對全球供應鏈構成了挑戰。

Battery manufacturers CATL is therefore moving production closer to its European customers.

是以，電池製造商 CATL 正在將生產線移近歐洲客戶。

In 2023, the world market leader launched its first plant in Amstadt of touring gear.

2023年，這家全球市場領導者在阿姆斯塔特開設了他們的第一座旅遊裝備工廠。

We were invited to their sprawling factory.

我們受邀參觀了他們廣闊的工廠。

At the entrance, staff asked us to cover our smartphone cameras, a common practice in high tech industries.

在入口處，員工要求我們遮蓋手機鏡頭，這在高科技產業很常見。

At Catl, they seem to be particularly cautious.

CATL operates more than 10 highly automated factories worldwide.

CATL 在全球營運超過 10 座高度自動化的工廠。

Currently, only one is located outside of China.

目前，只有一座位於中國境外。

In Turingia, 14 gigawatt hours of battery capacity are produced every year, enough to power more than 200,000 electric cars.

在圖林根，每年生產 14 吉瓦時的電池產能，足以供應超過 20 萬輛電動汽車。

It's centrally located in Europe and close to German automakers such as Audi and Porsche.

它位於歐洲中心，靠近 Audi 和 Porsche 等德國汽車製造商。

And Catl's batteries are constantly getting better and better.

Substantial investments in research and development have help batteries store more energy and charge faster, while also becoming safer.

大量的研發投資讓電池能儲存更多能量、充電更快，同時也更安全。

German research institutions, such as the Fraunhofer Ikart S right next door here in Arnstadt, have also contributed to this.

德國的研究機構，像是就在我們旁邊的 Arnstadt 的 Fraunhofer Ikart S，也對此有所貢獻。

Welling force Eigenschaften undasfahalten.

Over time, battery cells swell, which can affect their lifespan.

隨著時間過去，電池芯會膨脹，這可能會影響它們的壽命。

Under what circumstances does this tend to happen most quickly?

在什麼情況下，這種情況最容易發生？

Answers to such questions could help manufacturers build even more powerful batteries.

這些問題的答案，有助於製造商打造更強大的電池。

Decades ago, when many German companies were wanted to go to China in order to set up factories and produce at low costs, China was clearly in a role of students.

幾十年前，當許多德國公司想去中國設廠、以低成本生產時，中國明顯扮演著學生的角色。

But now this country has already been technology leader in many respects, and

但現在這個國家在許多方面已經是技術領導者，

the roles of students and teachers are no more clearly defined.

學生的角色和老師的角色已經不再那麼明確了。

China's leading role in many important sectors is thanks to an ambitious industrial strategy Made in China 2025.

中國在許多重要領域的領先地位，歸功於一項雄心勃勃的工業策略「中國製造2025」。

Officially announced 10 years ago, the plan envisions China achieving technological leadership in 10 key industries by 2025, including automotive and battery technology, where it has been particularly successful.

這項計畫十年前正式宣佈，目標是讓中國在2025年前，在10個關鍵產業取得技術領導地位，包括汽車和電池技術，而這兩方面中國尤其成功。

For European industry, this means growing challeng.

對歐洲產業來說，這意味著挑戰日益增加。

A major success factor is undoubtedly the high level of investment in research.

一個主要的成功因素無疑是研究方面的巨額投資。

In recent decades, Chinese research spending has increased dramatically worldwide.

近幾十年來，中國在全球的研究支出大幅增加。

Only the US invests more in research and development.

只有美國在研發方面的投資比中國多。

China is thus moving towards technological leadership.

中國正是以朝向技術領導地位邁進。

However, its ambitious industrial policy with massive subsidies, is driving output well beyond what the domestic market can absorb.

然而，其雄心勃勃的工業政策加上大規模補貼，正推動產量遠遠超出國內市場的吸收能力。

China's export surplus keeps increasing, straining its relationships with trading partners.

中國的出口順差持續增加，加劇了與貿易夥伴的關係緊張。

In the end, everyone will likely lose out.

It's a lose, lose game and I said that it's very unsustainable.

這根本是雙輸的局面，而且我說過這很不永續。

On the Chinese side, Chinese industrial policies have been extremely wasteful.

在中國那邊，中國的產業政策一直非常浪費。

They misallocate resources, they have slowed Chinese economy down.

他們資源錯置，拖慢了中國的經濟。

And so in the short term, it will probably appear like Chinese industrial policy is winning, but

所以短期來看，中國的產業政策可能會贏，但

in the long term, it's probably not going to be as successful and as sustainable.

長期來看，它可能不會那麼成功和永續。

Meanwhile, Europe needs to do its own homework to avoid becoming completely dependent on Chinese manufacturers.

同時，歐洲也需要做好自己的功課，避免完全依賴中國製造商。

Can Europe still bridge the gap in battery innovation.

歐洲還有辦法在電池創新方面迎頭趕上嗎？

The Chinese leadership is showing continuity in its industry policy and fueling a race for cutting edge technology and market share.

中國領導層在產業政策上展現出延續性，並在推動尖端技術和市場佔有率的競賽。

Chinese companies like Catl are pushing into the European market with increasingly powerful products and are already building more factories in Europe in order to be closer to clients and gain better market access.

像寧德時代（Catl）這樣的中國公司正以越來越強大的產品進軍歐洲市場，並且已經在歐洲建造更多工廠，以便更貼近客戶並獲得更好的市場准入。
