更惊人的是贸易额数据：今年1月，中国对巴西的汽车出口额飙升至3.75亿美元，是去年同期的10倍以上，占当月巴西汽车进口总额的65%左右。 这意味着现在巴西每进口10辆汽车，就有6.5辆来自中国。这个比例放在几年前是不敢想象的。 中国车企在巴西市场的扩张很有"章法"，简单来说就是直接在巴西投资建设生产基地，实现"本地制造、本地销售"。同时通过与国际巨头合作， 快速获得市场准入与技术认可——"强强联合，借势突围"。 比如，比亚迪投资了55亿雷亚尔（约合10.6亿美元）改造巴伊亚州的福特卡马萨里原装配厂，计划采用半散件组装工艺。吉利控股去年底与法国 雷诺集团宣布在巴西成立合资公司，计划投资38亿雷亚尔，共同开发和生产新能源车型。 不过，现在的巴西汽车市场也可以说是"冰火两重天"。巴西当地利率上升和信贷紧缩影响了借贷成本，导致1月份汽车产量与销量均有下滑。但与 此同时，电动汽车的销量占比创纪录地达到了16.8%，表明巴西消费者对新能源汽车的接受度正在快速提升。 今年1月，中国汽车在巴西市场干了一件大事——直接把阿根廷从巴西"最大汽车出口国"的宝座上拉了下来。对当地来说，这可一点不简单，它意 味着南美洲最大的汽车市场正 ...
