ក្រុមហ៊ុន Renault កំពុងភ្នាល់ថាទីផ្សាររថយន្តសាំងនឹងបន្តកើនឡើង

ក្រុមហ៊ុន Renault sees the internal combustion engine continuing to play a crucial role in its business over the coming years, according to a top executive at the French automotive giant.  

On Tuesday, it was announced that the Renault Group and Chinese firm Geely បានចុះហត្ថលេខាលើកិច្ចព្រមព្រៀងក្របខ័ណ្ឌដែលមិនជាប់កាតព្វកិច្ចដើម្បីបង្កើតក្រុមហ៊ុនដែលផ្តោតលើការអភិវឌ្ឍន៍ ការផលិត និងការផ្គត់ផ្គង់ "ខ្សែថាមពលកូនកាត់ និង ICE [ម៉ាស៊ីនចំហេះខាងក្នុង] powertrains" ដែលមានប្រសិទ្ធភាពខ្ពស់។

According to Renault, both itself and Geely will have a 50% stake in the business, which will consist of 17 powertrain facilities and five research and development centers.

Speaking to CNBC’s Charlotte Reed on Tuesday, Renault Chief Financial Officer Thierry Pieton sought to explain some of the reasoning behind the planned partnership with Geely.

គាត់បាននិយាយថា "តាមទស្សនៈរបស់យើង និងយោងទៅតាមការសិក្សាទាំងអស់ដែលយើងទទួលបាន វាមិនមានសេណារីយ៉ូដែលម៉ាស៊ីន ICE និងម៉ាស៊ីនកូនកាត់តំណាងឱ្យតិចជាង 40% នៃទីផ្សារជាមួយនឹងជើងមេឃនៃឆ្នាំ 2040 នោះទេ។ ដូច្នេះ​តាម​ពិត​ទៅ វា​ជា​ទីផ្សារ​ដែល​នឹង​បន្ត​កើន​ឡើង»។

The tie-up with Geely comes as Renault fleshes out plans to establish an EV spin-off called Ampere.

According to Renault, France-based Ampere “will develop, manufacture, and sell full EV passenger cars.” It’s eyeing an initial public offering on the Euronext Paris, which would take place in the second half of 2023 at the earliest, subject to market conditions.

During his interview with CNBC, Pieton touched upon the need, as he saw it, for different types of vehicles. “It’s very important to have, at the same time, the development of our electric vehicle business on one side — with Ampere — and to build a sustainable source of ICE and hybrid powertrains.”

This was why Renault was going into a partnership with Geely, he added, explaining the move represented “an absolute slam dunk” from a business and financial perspective.

This was because, Pieton argued, it created “a world-leading supplier of ICE and hybrid powertrains with around 19,000 employees in the world, covering 130 countries.”

In comments sent to CNBC via email, David Leggett, an analyst at GlobalData, noted that automotive manufacturers could still enjoy profits from the sale of vehicles that used internal combustion engines.

“Margins are generally higher than on electric vehicles, which are relatively costly to manufacture,” he said.

“The gap will eventually narrow as EV volumes rise sharply and unit costs on major EV components fall significantly, but there is still much profitable business to be done on ICEs and hybrids and will be for some time to come,” he added.

“Manufacturers need to be flexible in their powertrain offerings according to market needs — which differ across the world.”

ការបន្តផ្តោតលើម៉ាស៊ីនចំហេះខាងក្នុងរបស់ក្រុមហ៊ុន Renault កើតឡើងនៅពេលដែលប្រទេសសេដ្ឋកិច្ចធំៗមួយចំនួនកំពុងសម្លឹងមើលការផ្លាស់ទីឆ្ងាយពីយានយន្តដែលប្រើប្រាស់ឥន្ធនៈហ្វូស៊ីល។

ជាឧទាហរណ៍ ចក្រភពអង់គ្លេសចង់បញ្ឈប់ការលក់រថយន្ត និងរថយន្តម៉ាស៊ូត និងសាំងថ្មីនៅឆ្នាំ 2030។ វានឹងតម្រូវឱ្យចាប់ពីឆ្នាំ 2035 តទៅ រថយន្ត និងឡានថ្មីទាំងអស់មិនមានការបំភាយឧស្ម័នពីបំពង់ខ្យល់។

The European Union, which the U.K. left on Jan. 31, 2020, is pursuing similar targets. Over in the United States, California is banning the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles starting in 2035.

Such targets have become a major talking point within the automotive industry.

During a recent interview with CNBC, នាយកប្រតិបត្តិនៃ ស្តាលីនទីស was asked about the EU’s plans to phase out the sale of new ICE cars and vans by 2035.

In response, Carlos Tavares said it was “clear that the decision to ban pure ICEs is a purely dogmatic decision.”
