Nowadays, China's auto industry has matured and has a tendency to develop overseas, and many countries hope to attract investment from Chinese car companies to compete for valuable factory construction opportunities.
After the popularity of BYD's overseas factories has passed, the next thing that has attracted people's attention is the cooperation between Chery Automobile and Italy, but just when people were looking forward to the results of the cooperation between Chery Automobile and Italy, an accident happened.
Chery Automobile, which was originally negotiating cooperation with Italy, directly gave up cooperation with Italy for various reasons, but turned around and reached a cooperative relationship with Spain, which made Italy's efforts for half a year in vain.
So why did Chery Automobile abandon Italy and cooperate with Spain instead, and what is the truth behind this cooperation?
The Italian automotive industry is in trouble
With the popularization of new energy vehicles, China's domestic demand for new energy vehicles is also increasing, traditional oil vehicles have become more and more difficult to meet people's needs, new energy vehicles can just take this opportunity to "corner overtaking".
Coupled with the domestic emphasis on environmental protection and low-carbon travel, new energy vehicles have embarked on the fast track under the blessing of many policies and subsidies.
In the field of new energy vehicles, Tesla in the United States has been the dominant company for a long time, Tesla is the first batch of companies to set foot in the field of new energy vehicles, and when new energy vehicles are still tepid, Tesla has been developing them, and Musk has to be admired for his long-term vision.
As a direct result of Musk's long-term vision, Tesla is unrivaled in the field of new energy vehicles, and its technology and patents are far ahead, and it has been invincible all over the world for a long time.
However, domestic car companies are very competitive, and soon caught up with Tesla's technology, and also began to go to the global market, many countries have suffered from no new energy technology for a long time, and domestic mature car companies have naturally become the eyes of these countries.
Italy is one of these many countries, but when it comes to Italy, many people should find it strange, after all, Italy has a world-renowned luxury car brand Ferrari, and it stands to reason that there should not be a lack of automotive technology.
So the purpose of Italy is naturally obvious, the oil car can be built by itself, to put it bluntly, it is for new energy vehicles, but when it comes to this, there is a new question: Ferrari obviously also has a tram, why do you still "eat in the bowl and look at the pot"?
Why Italy is hungry for new energy vehicles
In fact, in the final analysis, it is because Ferrari's skills are not as good as others, if you compare the performance of fuel vehicles, then Ferrari must be the best among fuel vehicles, and there is absolutely no mention of performance and other aspects.
But if you talk about electric cars, then Ferrari's new energy vehicle technology is really flattering, it is no exaggeration to say that Ferrari's new energy vehicles basically have no advantages, it can be said that there is nothing but handsome.
When Ferrari's new energy vehicles first came out, the battery life in the pure electric state was only a few tens of kilometers, to be honest, the speed of two hours, but anyone who knows something about new energy vehicles, will know how "terrifying" this number is.
Even if this is the pure electric range of a hybrid car, compared with the range of hundreds of kilometers in China, Ferrari's level is still a bit unsightly, so Italy is naturally eyeing Chinese car companies.
Chery Automobile soon began to negotiate with the Italian side, because Italy is very optimistic about China's new energy car companies, and Italy just wants to increase domestic car production, all kinds of factors are stacked together, which is equivalent to directly paving the way for Chery.
In order to attract Chery Automobile to build a factory in Italy, Italy has taken great pains to think of various methods, and has spent more than half a year negotiating with Chery about the construction of the factory.
According to this trend, Chery's construction of a factory in Italy should be nine out of ten, but Italy did not expect that after talking with Chery for so long, it would be able to make a halfway way to bite the gold, and the cooked duck was snatched away by Spain.
On April 9, the person in charge of the Spanish side said that the Spanish government is about to reach an agreement with Chery Automobile, and a production agreement will be formally signed in the coming period.
According to the current progress, the cooperation between Chery Automobile and Spain this time is quite reliable, and compared with the previous cooperation with Italy, Chery will obviously be more secure in building a factory in Spain.
Curious Rui used to have an abandoned factory in Barcelona, Spain, and after the restart, it was able to reuse waste and save a lot of money to build a factory, while Italy did not have such an environment.
But this is not the point, the point is that the Italian government simply does not have sincerity and credibility at all, and in December 2023, Italy withdrew from the mainland's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, which has a feeling of hardened wings.
Italy, as a country that has joined the initiative in 2019, is undoubtedly a beneficiary of the Belt and Road Initiative, but Italy has chosen to withdraw, which has been able to prove its attitude, and it is difficult for many countries to have this opportunity, but Italy does not cherish it.
From this point of view, Chery Automobile's decision is indeed very wise, domestic new energy vehicle companies have gone through a process from scratch, along the way is not easy, Italy's attitude towards China is still like this, how good can the sincerity of Chinese car companies be?
epilogue
In order to respond to the call of the country and meet the needs of the domestic market, many domestic car companies have begun to enter the field of new energy vehicles.
The technical level is far ahead in the world, and on the other hand, domestic car companies are almost blank in the field of new energy vehicles, and it is not easy to catch up with Tesla from scratch.
However, Chinese car companies are relying on the strength of not admitting defeat, from not knowing anything about new energy vehicles, to the later sales far ahead, and even famous at home and abroad, the hardships experienced can be imagined.
"One minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage", this sentence is applicable to every industry, and now the glamour of Chinese car companies is all poured out with painstaking efforts, which is worthy of every Chinese's pride and pride!
