Ford?is canceling controversial plans to build the Focus small car in Mexico, saving $1 billion by ending North American production entirely and importing the model mostly from China after next year.
盡管極具爭議，福特汽車仍將取消原定計劃，不在墨西哥建立?？怂剐⌒蛙嚬S。福特汽車通過終止北美的車輛生產(chǎn)，并于2019年開始從中國大量進口汽車模型省下了十億美元。

The U.S. automaker will start making the next-generation Focus in China from the second half of 2019, a year after output ends at one of its plants in Michigan. Ford will trim about $500 million in costs by shifting production to China, adding to the $500 million already saved from canceling construction of a small-car factory in Mexico earlier this year.

“We’ve done a lot of research and consumers care a lot more about the quality and the value than they do about the sourcing location,” Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of global operations, said in a conference call with reporters Tuesday. “iPhones are produced in China, for example, and people don’t really talk about it.”
福特全球運營總裁韓瑞麒(Joe Hinrichs)在本周二的會議上告訴記者：“我們做過很多調(diào)查，比起汽車的源產(chǎn)地，消費者更在意車的質(zhì)量和價格。比如Iphone也是在中國生產(chǎn)的，但是沒人會就此喋喋不休?！?/div>

After importing initial production of the new Focus cars from China, Ford said it will later ship variants of the model from Europe. The Michigan Assembly Plant now making the Focus will be retooled to produce the Ranger midsize pickup in late 2018 and the Bronco midsize SUV in 2020.

“China gets a lot of attention, we’ll see how this plays out,” Hinrichs said in response to a question about possible criticism of the move from Trump. “But we believe this is a much better plan for our business globally. And it frees up from the original plan about $1 billion of capital that we can reinvest in the business, including exciting things that we’re working on in autonomy and electrification, and a lot of that work is done right here in the U.S.”
特朗普可能會對福特汽車轉(zhuǎn)移工廠的舉動頗有微辭，對此疑慮，韓瑞麒也做出了回應(yīng)：“世界都在關(guān)注中國，我們也將試試這樣的轉(zhuǎn)移是否有用。但是值得確信的是，轉(zhuǎn)移工廠對福特汽車的全球運營有益無害。取消原計劃，不在墨西哥建廠為我們省下了十億美元，我們可以把這筆錢投資在自主、電氣化這樣很酷的領(lǐng)域，或者投資很多能在美國完成的事情。”
