近日，日产公布了一项新的计划，计划将裁员2万人，并关闭其全球不同地区17家工厂中的7家。作为这一计 划的一部分，日产汽车希望借助其合作伙伴三菱汽车和雷诺开发新产品。 据透露，此次丰田主动向日产抛出橄榄枝，其计划是希望通过注入电动化（如e-TNGA平台）、智能化（如 Arene操作系统）技术，填补日产在核心领域的短板，同时将日产纳入其全球供应链体系，扩大规模效应。此举延 续了丰田"轻资产联盟"模式，避免直接收购带来的管理负担，却能实质增强联盟整体竞争力。 近日，据日本媒体报道，在日产与本田谈判中止后，丰田汽车提出了一项援助计划，希望借此成为日产汽车 的一个潜在合作伙伴。 丰田的计划能否落地 报道称，是丰田汽车的一名高管主动联系了日产汽车，表示愿意提供帮助。不过，目前结果并不清楚。而日 产汽车和丰田汽车均未公开就合作事宜发声。针对该报道，日产汽车方面拒绝置评，而丰田汽车方面则表示正在 对相关内容进行核实。 其实，丰田汽车此前有过入股其他日本汽车制造商并与其建立松散型合作联盟的先例。作为全球最大的汽车 制造商之一，丰田汽车持有斯巴鲁、马自达、铃木汽车和五十铃的股份。此外，丰田汽车还持有卡车制造商日野 汽车50.1% ...

人类所居住的蓝色星球上，地表海洋面积占比约为71%，而海上运输线连接起了五大洲繁忙的世界贸易网络，海运同样是汽车出口远途运输最具效率和 性价比的途径。 眼下，越来越多有规模化出口业务的汽车企业，已经不满足于借助航运公司的货轮排班长周期等待方式运输出口整车，而是直接自己下订单造船，并组 建自有海上汽车船运输船队，来摆脱对运力日益紧张、价格持续上涨的航运公司的依赖，实现让自己的汽车产品更加便捷地点对点到达世界各地的目标。 令行业记忆犹新的是，自2020年以来，全球海运市场正经历了一场剧烈的供需失衡，汽车运输船的日租金犹如坐上了火箭，从专业远洋航运公司原本较 为平稳的平均每集装箱每天1万美元，一路狂飙至15万美元。这场租金的疯涨，背后是全球汽车贸易量的快速复苏与海运运力增长缓慢之间矛盾日益突出的 显现。有研究数据显示，新冠疫情以来，全球汽车贸易量增长了近20%，但专业远洋航运公司的汽车运输船队运力仅增长1% ，供不应求的局面使得运价被 不断推高。 正是在这样的大环境下，丰田、现代等跨国车企的自有汽车运输船队展现出更强的成本控制能力。丰田旗下的丰藤海运凭借长期稳定的运营，将单车远 洋运输成本牢牢控制在800美元以下， ...
