Faraday Future暫停建設(shè)10億美元電動(dòng)汽車(chē)
隨著Faraday Future背后的支持者、中國(guó)億萬(wàn)富豪賈躍亭的經(jīng)濟(jì)問(wèn)題不斷加劇,這家神秘的電動(dòng)汽車(chē)公司已經(jīng)終止了之前在內(nèi)華達(dá)州斥資10億美元建立工廠(chǎng)的高調(diào)計(jì)劃。 上周,上海法院因賈躍亭未能償還數(shù)家金融機(jī)構(gòu)的貸款,凍結(jié)了這位中國(guó)傳媒集團(tuán)樂(lè)視生態(tài)的創(chuàng)始人的資產(chǎn)。 Faraday Future接受《財(cái)富》采訪(fǎng)時(shí)表示,公司“短期內(nèi)”將暫停在內(nèi)華達(dá)州建立工廠(chǎng),他們會(huì)尋找能夠更快生產(chǎn)電動(dòng)汽車(chē)的新廠(chǎng)址。公司之前計(jì)劃在2018年推出全電動(dòng)汽車(chē)FF91,預(yù)計(jì)一次充電的行駛路程為378英里。 在一份充滿(mǎn)行業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)和承諾的聲明中,F(xiàn)araday Future表示,公司正在經(jīng)歷商業(yè)戰(zhàn)略轉(zhuǎn)型,“將公司定位為一家用戶(hù)個(gè)人移動(dòng)行業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者——這種汽車(chē)使用的模式,將重新構(gòu)想用戶(hù)移動(dòng)的方式?!? Faraday Future本計(jì)劃在拉斯維加斯北部900英畝的園區(qū)內(nèi)建立一座占地300萬(wàn)平方英尺的工廠(chǎng),建設(shè)費(fèi)用中有3.35億美元來(lái)自國(guó)家的激勵(lì)政策。項(xiàng)目于2015年12月首次公布時(shí),內(nèi)華達(dá)州州長(zhǎng)布萊恩·桑多瓦宣稱(chēng),該工廠(chǎng)將在未來(lái)20年內(nèi)給地區(qū)帶來(lái)1.3萬(wàn)個(gè)直接和非直接崗位,產(chǎn)生7.6億美元的稅收和850億美元的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。 據(jù)報(bào)道,去年11月,由于資金不足,工廠(chǎng)項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)縮減了規(guī)模。Faraday Future仍然擁有著這片900英畝的園區(qū),并在聲明中表示會(huì)繼續(xù)建造工廠(chǎng)。 公司計(jì)劃在接下來(lái)幾周內(nèi)披露更多有關(guān)新戰(zhàn)略的細(xì)節(jié)。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:嚴(yán)匡正 |
Secretive electric car company Faraday Future has ended plans to build a much-hyped $1 billion factory in Nevada as the financial problems of its backer, Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting, continue to escalate. Last week, a Shanghai court froze the assets of Yueting, founder of Chinese media conglomerate LeEco, for missing loan payments to several financial institutions. Faraday Future told Fortune that it decided to put the factory in Nevada on hold for "the near term" in favor of a new site that will provide a faster path to producing an electric vehicle. The company has previously said it plans to produce the FF91, an all-electric vehicle with an estimated 378 miles of range sometime in 2018. In a statement filled with jargon and promises, Faraday Future said it was shifting its business strategy to "position the company as the leader in user-ship personal mobility—a vehicle usage model that reimagines the way users access mobility." Faraday Future was supposed to build a 3-million square-foot factory on a 900-acre site in North Las Vegas—a deal that included a $335 million incentive package from the state. When the project was first announced in December 2015, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval boasted the factory would lead to more than 13,000 direct and indirect jobs in the region, and generate $760 million in tax revenue and $85 billion in economic impact over 20 years. The factory project was reportedly scaled back in November due to a lack of funds. Faraday Future still owns the 900-acre factory site and said in a statement that it remains committed to the buildout. The company plans to share more details about its new strategy in the coming weeks. |
