Alstom attacks Chinese train exports

Western countries should close their markets to sales of Chinese trains because China’s domestic market is closing to outside suppliers, says the head of one of the world’s largest rolling stock builders.

In a Financial Times interview, Philippe Mellier, chief executive of Paris-based Alstom Transport, also claimed that Chinese companies were offering trains for export using technology derived from western suppliers. Such technology is usually supplied on condition it not be used outside China.

The comments by Mr Mellier, whose company is the world’s number two trainmaker, underline the growing tension in the world’s train-building industry over China’s role.

China promises to become one of the world’s most significant markets for high-speed trains, metro cars, freight locomotives and many other forms of rolling stock.

However, after a period when China signed contracts with several suppliers from other parts of the world to transfer technology to itself, it is gradually insisting new trains be entirely domestically designed and built.

Chinese manufacturers are also increasingly seeking orders in the European heartland of Alstom, Bombardier Transportation, the world number one, and Siemens, the number three.

One has already won a small order to build trains for the UK market, while another was included in a shortlist of bidders for an order by the UK’s Department for Transport on December 22.

Mr Mellier said: “We’re starting to see Chinese companies answering tenders around the world with Chinese freight locomotives, some of them being based on transferred technology.”

A similar process was under way with tenders to supply metro cars, he added.

Mr Mellier, whose company builds France’s TGV high-speed train and has exported high-speed trains to several countries, pointed out that tenders for high-speed trains for new Beijing to Shanghai services specified they be entirely Chinese-built and designed.

“In line with our expectations, the market is gradually shutting down to let the Chinese companies prosper,” he said.

“If the market is now closing down, we don’t think it’s a good idea for other countries to open their markets to such a technology because there’s no reciprocity any more.”

阿尔斯东抨击中国列车出口

    “西方国家应该停止进口中国火车，因为中国市场已经对外国厂家关闭了。”世界最大机车制造巨头之一这样说道。

    在金融时报的一次采访中，总部在巴黎的阿尔斯东的执行长飞利浦·梅耶尔声称，中国公司在火车上使用了来自西方出口商的技术。这种技术提供给中国的前提是，它不得在中国以外的国家使用。

    梅耶尔——他的公司是世界第二大火车制造商——的说法，表明世界火车制造业与中国日趋紧张的关系。

    中国是世界上最大的机车市场之一，中国需要大批高速列车，地铁车辆，货运车头和其他机车。但是，随着一段时间以来，中国相继与其他国家的厂商签订供给中国技术的协议，中国逐渐坚持新火车完全在中国国内设计与制造。

    中国的制造商们也开始在欧洲寻求订单，这些地区是阿尔斯东，和世界第一的庞巴迪运输公司，世界第三的西门子公司的心脏地带。一家公司在英国已经赢得了一个小订单，另一家在12月22号时成为英国运输部的订单的竞标者。

    梅耶尔先生说：“我们正在世界范围内关注中国公司关于货运车头的答标书，他们使用了一些转让给他们的技术”。他补充说，我们对他们的地铁车辆也采取了相似的行动。

    梅耶尔先生——他的公司制造了法国的TGV高速列车，向多个国家出口了高速列车——指出，中国在京沪高铁的投标书里明确规定火车必须完全由中国制造和设计。他说：“中国市场在慢慢关闭，好让本国公司兴旺起来，这和我们预料的一样”。

    “如果中国市场对外国关闭了，我们认为其他国家再向中国敞开自己的大门是非常糟糕的主意，因为这没有了互动。”
