金龍汽車將與英公交運營商建立合作關系（雙語）
China’s largest bus maker will this week announce a partnership with Arriva, the UK-based bus and rail operator, in the first big push by a Chinese vehicle producer into Europe.
中國最大的巴士制造商本周將宣布與英國公交和鐵路運營商Arriva建立合作關系，這是中國汽車制造商進入歐洲的首個重大舉措。
King Long, the Chinese bus and coach manufacturer, is expected to announce an alliance with Arriva on Wednesday which will start with the delivery of 200 buses to the transport group’s Malta operations.
預計中國大中型客車制造商金龍汽車(King Long)將于周三宣布與Arriva合作——金龍首先將向后者的馬耳他業(yè)務交付200輛巴士。
The move underlines how large Chinese industrial companies are moving from producing cheap and low-cost products to more sophisticated technology in a bid to enter European and other developed markets.
此舉突顯出中國工業(yè)企業(yè)如何從生產廉價的低成本產品轉向更高級的技術，以進入歐洲和其它發(fā)達市場。
It could presage further forays by the country’s vehicle manufacturers into a continent, where attempts by Chinese carmakers to lure European customers a few years ago fell flat.
它可能預示著中國汽車制造商在數(shù)年前吸引歐洲顧客失敗后，再次致力于打入歐洲市場。
King Long, which is based in Xiamen, had revenues of $735m in 2009 and sold 15,344 buses. The group entered the European market five years ago and is the only Chinese bus maker with any notable presence. In the first half of this year, it exported nearly 100 buses to Europe, after launching several models that specifically cater to the needs of European customers.
總部位于廈門的金龍汽車2009年收入達到7.35億美元，銷售巴士15344輛。金龍5年前進入歐洲市場，是唯一在歐洲市場有些地盤的中國巴士制造商。今年上半年，在推出專門迎合歐洲客戶需求的多款車型之后，金龍向歐洲出口了近100輛巴士，
Arriva, which was taken over by Deutsche Bahn, the German rail operator for £1.5bn ($2.3bn) in April, is one of Europe’s largest transport groups with bus and rail operations in 13 countries.
Arriva是歐洲最大的交通集團之一，在13個國家擁有公交和鐵路業(yè)務。今年4月，Arriva被德國鐵路運營商德國鐵路公司(Deutsche Bahn)以15億英鎊（合23億美元）收購。
Samuel Zhu, King Long’s deputy general manager, admitted that the group’s products “are still behind the well-known bus and coach brands in Europe” but added that the company was “learning and improving”.
金龍副總經(jīng)理朱國強(Samuel Zhu)承認，該集團的產品“仍落后于歐洲知名的巴士和大巴品牌”，但他補充稱，公司正在“學習和改進”。
Some analysts are nevertheless sceptical about the prospects for Chinese vehicle makers in Europe.
然而，一些分析師對中國汽車制造商在歐洲的前景感到懷疑。
Ivo Naumann of Alix Partners, the advisory group, says the technology gap is too large.
咨詢集團AlixPartners的伊沃•瑙曼(Ivo Naumann)表示，技術差距仍過大。
