付先生，各位尊敬的嘉賓、各位朋友：

Good morning and welcome to today’s China-Sweden Forum. I’m David Sweet from Volvo Car Asia Pacific and I feel so happy to be here today and meet all of you.
早上好！歡迎各位來到中瑞論壇，非常高興今天能夠在這里和大家見面。

First of all, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations on the opening of 2021 China Auto Forum. Of course, this is one of the most recognized platforms organized by CAAM (China Association of Automobile Manufactures) for technology display and knowledge exchanges for auto engineers and experts.
首先，請允許我對2021中國汽車論壇的開幕表示誠摯的祝賀。感謝中國汽車工業協會的組織，中國汽車論壇是我們業內最負盛名的平臺之一，汽車工程師和行業專家們可以在此同聚一堂，互相展示技術、分享觀點。

As we come back from the pandemic, the auto industry is also undergoing significant and profound changes. It brings us both new challenges and opportunities. As a company with its roots in Sweden, Volvo Cars is honored to co-host today’s China-Sweden forum for an in-depth exchange of views on a sustainable future of the whole industry and society.
隨著我們從疫情中逐步回到正軌，汽車行業也在經歷著重大而深刻的變革。這給我們帶來了全新的挑戰和機遇。作為一家來自瑞典的公司，沃爾沃汽車非常榮幸能夠聯合舉辦這次中瑞論壇，就整個汽車行業和全社會的可持續發展的未來進行深入探討。

I hope that all of you will also be able to freely discuss and contribute your ideas to this topic afterwards.
也希望會后大家仍然可以就這個話題展開自由討論，貢獻您的真知灼見。

Environmental protection and sustainability are the cornerstones for our long-term growth. Actually Volvo Cars have an industry-leading heritage in sustainability.
環境保護和可持續發展是我們能夠實現長期增長的基石。事實上，沃爾沃汽車在可持續發展方面擁有行業領先的悠久傳統。

In 1972, we made our first environmental declaration at the UN’s first Environment Conference. In 1976, we made an extraordinary breakthrough by introducing our three-way catalytic converter with the Lambda sond sensor. In 2017, we became the first established auto maker to commit to all-out electrification.
1972年，在第一屆聯合國人類環境會議上，沃爾沃發布了第一份《環保宣言》。1976年，我們發明了具有劃時代意義的帶氧傳感器的三元催化器，將汽車有害氣體排放減少90%之多。2017年，我們成為首個提出全面電氣化戰略的汽車公司。

Our purpose is to provide freedom to move in a personal, safe and sustainable fashion. This viewpoint has led us to create many innovations and technological advances, and we will continue to do so in the future.
我們的企業宗旨，是以個性化、可持續和安全的方式，為所有人提供暢行無憂的出行方案。這一信念給我們帶來了許多創新發明和技術進步，未來我們將繼續將之發揚光大。

To address challenges in energy and environment, China’s President announced in 2020 that carbon emissions will begin to decline from 2030, carbon neutrality will be achieved by 2060. This sets the backdrop to make sustainability high on the agenda for the auto industry.
為了應對能源和環境方面的挑戰，中國國家主席于 2020 年發布了2030年碳達峰、2060年碳中和的目標。這為中國汽車行業把可持續發展提上議程奠定了基礎。

As early as 2019, we announced one of the most ambitious plan in the industry to become a climate-neutral company by 2040. Developments since then show that our plan has been forward looking and ambitious.
早在 2019 年，我們就發布了汽車行業最為雄心勃勃的環保計劃之一，即力求在2040年之前將公司發展成為全球氣候零負荷標桿企業。之后的發展表明，我們的計劃具有充分的前瞻性和進取性。

To achieve our ambition, our efforts go beyond addressing tailpipe emissions through complete electrification. We also strive to tackle carbon emissions in our manufacturing network, operations, supply chain and through recycling and reuse of materials. Besides, we want to become a recognized leader in ethical and responsible business.
為了實現這一宏偉目標，我們不僅僅是通過全面電氣化來解決尾氣排放問題。我們還致力于解決我們的制造網絡、運營、供應鏈以及材料回收和再利用過程中的碳排放問題。此外，我們希望成為道德和負責任的商業領域公認的領導者。

In March this year, we moved a step forward by offering a timetable on full electrification, business model innovation and climate neutrality. By 2025, we aim for 50% of our global sales to be fully electric cars, before we reach the all-in point by 2030.
今年3月，我們為全面電氣化、商業模式創新和氣候零負荷進一步設定了時間表，向前邁進了重要一步。到2025 年，我們的目標是全球銷售的50%是純電動汽車，到2030年我們致力于成為純電豪華車企。

Since 2010, China has been our second-biggest market, and it is now our largest as well as the engine for growth. We give top priority to sustainability as we expand in China. We are acting quicky to introduce our full range of electric cars to Chinese consumers. On top of that, the electricity powering our plants in Chengdu and Daqing is now 100% renewable. We are also an industry leader in water treatment, emissions reduction in manufacturing, as well as waste sorting and recycling.
自2010年以來，中國一直是我們的第二大市場，而現在中國已經成為我們最大的市場和增長引擎。隨著我們在中國市場的擴張，我們將可持續發展放在首要的位置。我們正在迅速采取行動，盡快向中國消費者推出我們的全系列電動車型。更重要的是，我們在成都和大慶的工廠現在已采用100%的可再生電力。同時，在制造環節的減排、廢水處理、垃圾分類及回收方面，我們也處于行業領先地位。

As a forum today is such an excellent platform for cross-industry communication and knowledge sharing. Volvo Cars hopes to use this platform to further enhance communication and collaboration with our partners from all walks of life, and jointly contribute to the sustainable development of the auto industry and the entire society. Our purpose is to deliver the freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way.
本次論壇是一個跨行業交流和知識共享的絕佳平臺。沃爾沃汽車希望通過這個平臺進一步加強與各界合作伙伴的交流與合作，共同為汽車行業和整個社會的可持續發展做出貢獻。我們的宗旨是以個性化、可持續和安全的方式，為所有人提供暢行無憂的出行方案。

Lastly, I wish the conference great success. Thank you!
最后，預祝會議取得圓滿成功。謝謝！
