新华社西安12月26日电（记者张申博、张斌）清晨的延安站，流线型的"复兴号"列车静伏轨上，宛如银白色箭矢，蓄势待发。 不远处，宝塔山坐落于阳光之中。历史与未来，仿佛在此刻交相辉映。 "过去坐绿皮车，晃悠一整天。后来有了动车，觉得快多了。没想到如今还能更快！"61岁的李启明感慨："国家铁路的快速发展，我们都 赶上了。" "羊肚子手巾三道道蓝，高铁开到咱延安……"一阵原生态的陕北民歌响起，引得众人围观。 来自摩洛哥的留学生刘文浩第一次来延安坐的是动车，如今，乘上这条时速350公里的高铁，他观察到细节透露出的舒适与匠心，"这让 我对'中国速度'有了更立体的认识。" 这条高铁串联起的，不仅是西安与延安。高陵、富平、铜川、洛川等沿线市县，也被一一纳入"一小时生活圈"。 洛川站前广场，当地居民韩红英正与亲友合影。"天天盼着开通哩！"她笑着说，"以后去西安逛景点、吃小吃，就是一趟'说走就走'的旅 行了。" 12月26日，乘客在延安站登上西延高铁首发列车。新华社记者 张博文 摄 12月26日，西延高铁正式开通运营。这条跨越黄土高原沟壑梁峁的钢铁动脉，将西安至延安的铁路旅行时间从两个半小时压缩至一小时 左右，让革命圣地迈入全新 ...

传统汽车制造商开发一款新车通常需要四年甚至更长时间，但在中国，这一周期平均仅为18到20个月。 如今，西方车企正奋力追赶这一速度。 一场围绕"速度"的竞赛正在全球汽车行业激烈展开。从福特到大众的西方传统汽车巨头们正以前所未有 的力度，借鉴中国同行快速、低成本的车型开发模式。 最新动态显示，福特已选择雷诺作为合作伙伴，在欧洲共同生产小型电动汽车，而后者已成功将其新车 型的开发时间缩短至两年以内。德国大众也已将在中国生产的新款电动汽车开发周期，在传统四年多的 基础上缩短了30%。日产与其中国合作伙伴东风共同开发的N7电动轿车，在耗时约两年后于今年在中 国上市，并将于明年开始出口。 这一系列行动的背后，是全球车企高管们的共识：在技术快速迭代、消费者品味多变以及地缘政治引发 供应链动荡的当下，速度已成为生存的必要条件。更快的开发周期不仅能跟上市场节奏，还能通过缩短 工程时间来显著降低成本，从而提升价格竞争力。 "中国速度"：从四年到两年 福特欧洲负责人Jim Baumbick指出，比亚迪等中国车企通过使用更多通用零部件来提升速度，而将主要 的创新集中在软件和数字技术上。雷诺的经验则更具代表性，其在上海设立了拥有约15 ...

"这种商业模式已经消亡。"大众汽车集团(中国)首席技术官托马斯·乌尔布里希称。 中国消费者说了算 乌尔布里希称之为"范式转变"。2022年，大众正式启动对华战略的最新一轮大调整。 该公司正专为中国的驾驶者开发车型——这些车可能永远不会出现在欧洲街头，但或会出口至中东及东 南亚。 随着新车型陆续上市，大众将验证这笔投资能否帮助其追上比亚迪、吉利等中国厂商，并夺回失去的市 场份额。 晨星欧洲汽车行业分析师瑞拉·苏斯金表示，这一策略对在华重获竞争力至关重要。 智通财经APP获悉，大众汽车(VWAGY.US)曾凭借超五成的市场份额在中国市场独占鳌头。如今，它却 选择在合肥——这座人口约一千万的中部城市，豪掷30亿欧元(约合35亿美元)，打造其除德国本土之外 规模最大的研发基地。这家德国汽车巨头正在中国这个全球规模最大且竞争最为激烈的汽车市场，下一 场"重注"。只是，这场豪赌究竟能否收获成效，仍是未知数。 这与外资车企在华运营数十年的模式截然不同：过去，它们把海外开发的车型直接国产，并向本土伙伴 输出技术。如今，这一套路已被迅速崛起的本土对手挤到边缘，后者大幅吞噬了外资品牌的销量。 过去五年，中国市场的剧变令外资车企节 ...

新华社北京12月6日电（记者 张骁、郭沛然）外交部发言人毛宁近日在海外社交媒体上分享了一段北京城市环路大修和环境提升工作的视 频。视频中，10余公里的北京西北四环路，在6个小时的夜修中成功摊铺8000吨沥青。第二天黎明时分，新路准时通车。这引发了海内外网民的广 泛关注，大量网民在评论区点赞。 很多北京司机是看到新闻后才察觉到北京四环路已大修过了，而在毛宁账号下的评论区，一些海外网民留言："在我的国家，这要干几个 月。"为什么北京修路要这么快？ 被海外网民点赞的高效背后，还有哪些要素值得"被看见"？ "中国速度"，本身是一种民生温度。 较长时间以来，城市道路大修工程往往因跨部门作业，导致路面反复"开口"，施工围挡拆了又装，群众叫苦不迭。这次道路大修中，北京以 机制创新的方式实现"一次施工、多重提升"。 图为道路大修现场。新华社发 北京建立了横跨交通、城管、园林、水务、交管，以及属地政府的一体化协作机制。除直接提升道路本身通行品质，还增设了紧急停车带、 拓宽了关键匝道、优化了出入口的加减速车道，并同步实施了周边绿化等环境提升工作。 这是系统性治理观在发挥作用。现场作业前，政府内部先统筹联动，有效压缩了部门间、专业 ...
