名古屋,日本 -- 丰田汽车透露计划在2030年前将其全部50款汽车型号转变为软件定义汽车,为此将使用其专有的Arene软件开发平台。日本汽车制造商本月在欧洲的投资者简报会上披露了这一新战略。
NAGOYA, Japan -- Toyota Motor has revealed plans to convert all 50 of its automobile models into software-defined vehicles by 2030, tapping its proprietary Arene software development platform for the effort. The Japanese automaker disclosed the new strategy at a briefing for investors this month in Europe.
Arene已用于2025年发布的重新设计的RAV4运动型多用途车。根据计划,每年将有1000万辆新车搭载Arene。丰田计划在2035年前向合作伙伴汽车制造商提供该技术。
Arene was used for the redesigned RAV4 sport utility vehicle released in 2025. Under the plan, 10 million new vehicles a year will be powered by Arene. Toyota intends to provide the technology to partner automakers by 2035.
Arene还将被整合到连接机器人、住宅、电线杆及其他基础设施的通信设备中。将车辆与基础设施连接将使得在车辆接近时打开房屋灯光成为可能,或使电线杆上的设备能够提醒汽车注意行人存在,例如。
Arene will also be incorporated into communications devices attached to robots, homes, utility poles and other infrastructure. Linking vehicles to infrastructure will make it possible to turn on a house's lights when a vehicle approaches, or for devices on utility poles to alert cars to the presence of pedestrians, for example.
丰田预计到2030财年,除新车销售以外的营业利润将达到3万亿日元(约合189亿美元),较当前水平提升约40%。软件定义汽车的大规模推广将对此作出贡献。
Toyota expects to increase operating profit outside new-auto sales to 3 trillion yen ($18.9 billion) by fiscal 2030, up 40% or so from current levels. The mass rollout of SDVs will make a contribution.
软件定义汽车的性能和功能通过付费订阅的软件更新得到提升,因此即使交付给客户后,车辆仍能持续产生收入。
SDVs have their performance and functionality enhanced through software updates from paid subscriptions, so the vehicles continue to generate revenue even after delivery to the customer.
美国、欧洲和中国的汽车制造商率先推出了软件定义汽车。特斯拉为其电动汽车提供付费的空中下载更新服务。奔驰提供付费软件更新以提升加速性能。宝马对每次增加功能的更新收取费用,例如远程泊车。
Automakers in the U.S., Europe and China have pioneered SDVs. Tesla offers over-the-air updates as a paid service for its electric vehicles. Mercedes-Benz provides a paid software update to improve acceleration. BMW charges for each update that adds a function, such as remote parking.
比亚迪和小鹏等中国制造商也通过软件更新提供驾驶功能,但这些功能通常免费提供。
Such Chinese manufacturers as BYD and Xpeng also offer driving features via software updates, but these are often provided free of charge.
根据包括全球信息在内的各方预测,全球软件定义汽车市场将在2030年达到7865亿美元,是2025年规模的两倍。
The global SDV market will reach $786.5 billion in 2030, according to a forecast from parties including Global Information -- double the 2025 scale.
SDV的普及可能意味着前往经销商添加车辆功能的次数减少,因此向现有客户推广新车的机会也将减少。如果SDV兼容零部件的功能可以通过更新进行更改,零部件制造商也可能需要修订其开发策略。
The spread of SDVs will likely mean fewer visits to dealerships to add vehicle features, so there will be fewer opportunities to promote new vehicles to existing customers. Parts manufacturers may have to revise their development strategies as well if SDV-compatible parts can have their functionality changed via updates.
丰田打算维持其在日本的生产基础设施和员工队伍,年产量为300万辆。随着SDV的更广泛普及,该汽车制造商面临着严峻的环境。丰田需要提供新服务以吸引经销商和客户。公司还将被期望提升零部件供应商的开发能力。
Toyota intends to maintain its production infrastructure and workforce in Japan, which produce 3 million units annually. The automaker faces a challenging environment alongside the wider adoption of SDVs. Toyota will need to deliver new services to attract dealerships and customers. The company will also be expected to boost the development capabilities of parts suppliers.
在简报会上,丰田还披露了为混合动力汽车和燃油汽车推出新发动机,并将组件出售给其他制造商的计划。发动机销售业务的目标是到2032年实现2500亿日元的营收。
In the briefing, Toyota also revealed plans to roll out new engines for hybrids and gasoline vehicles and to sell the components to other manufacturers. The engine sales business aims to generate 250 billion yen in revenue by 2032.
丰田的固态电池预计将于2027年或2028年进入市场。商用车和无人机将是首批应用领域之一。
Toyota's solid-state batteries are due to enter the market in 2027 or 2028. Commercial vehicles and drones will be among the first applications.
