为尽早达成叁年内削减一百五十亿美元采购成本的目标，通用北美总部将派出两
百名工程师与管理人员到中国，对当地零件供应厂执行彻底改造计画的同时，并
奉上一张八百亿美元的采购订单。

这些订单将供应一款名为「皮卡」（Pick Up）的客货两用车组装之用，这笔大订
单不仅能满足未来十叁年北美生产线之需，更是通用汽车在大陆所下最大订单。



通用总部第一批派抵中国的首席工程师指出，通用汽车已派遣两百名北美地区工
程师与管理人员到中国，并深入大多数零组件厂，进行全方位指导；其中第一批
数十名人员已先期抵达，每人负责指导六家供应商，并提出具体的改造计画。

据了解，通用北美总部派出的庞大指导团队，将对供应商的加工能力、财务状况
与企业生产流程等进行综合考评与测试，并协助完成品质改善动作。

这位教授级工程师进一步表示，他不打算在上海通用长期逗留；不过，在直奔中
国各地的汽车零组件供应商的同时，与他一起到中国的，还有一张八百亿美元采
购订单。

一位了解内情的供应商指出，这笔订单主要针对通用将推出一款排气量在叁千二
百西西以上、名为「皮卡」客货两用车生产所需，该辆车前有两到叁排座椅，後
方用於装卸货物。

这位供应商强调，这笔订单签下来的话，合计必须为通用北美厂供货十叁年。

通用北美总部将采购目光转向中国的主因，系作为北美通用主要供应来源的美国
Delphi破产；其次，美国工资占整个公司销售额的二○％到叁○％，但在中国的
人力成本，仅占销售额的二％到叁％，此一措施，有助於叁年内削减一百五十亿
美元采购成本的目标达成。

台湾区车辆公会认为，通用公司对於零件品质的要求甚高，目前供应上海通用相
关零组件的台商，只有六和机械的六丰厂及上海明芳等两、叁家，多数在大陆的
台商零组件，并未打入通用供应体系，因此台商受惠者将十分有限。

通用零件大单涌向中国 带动台商扩产抢单意图
陈惠珍/台南报导


全球知名的美商通用汽车公司，决定强化於大陆采购汽车零组件的动作，将加速
台湾汽车零组件产业，更大幅加码大陆生产基地规模的效应，透过合作夥伴Visteon(伟
士通)，堤维西集团在大陆常州厂，开始供应通用公司新款汽车用车灯，可望从通
用汽车八百亿美元订单中，分到一杯羹。

北美地区是台湾汽车产业，最主要零组件厂最大销售市场，通用汽车将生产大本
营，大举转移到大陆，此举势必带给已在大陆设生产基地的台商们，莫大的新商
机。已间接供应美国通用汽车的堤维西交通公司，将是最大的受益者之一。


据了解，由於Visteon(伟士通)的总部，与通用汽车公司的总公司，都位於美国底
特律，通用多款的汽车主要零组件，都由Visteon公司供应，因此，堤维西交通公
司透过该公司大陆常州厂，合资夥伴Visteon公司接单，早成为通用汽车下单顾客
之一。

堤维西交通经理夏康表示，大陆常州厂已成为通用在大陆采购车灯合作夥伴之一
，通用公司编列十叁年，於大陆采购美元八百亿元，只要在大陆设有生产基地，
产品本身较易运送的汽车零组件，都将争食该市场大饼。

东阳集团协理许芳华指出，该集团在大陆十五个生产基地，大多以内销大陆市场
为主，美国通用公司的协力厂，正洽商采购东阳集团制造的保险杆等汽车零组件
。

一款名为「皮卡」（Pick Up）的客货两用车

一款排气量在叁千二百西西以上、名为「皮卡」客货两用车

What the hell does that mean, "a truck named Pick Up"? Get some education:

A pickup truck is a light truck with an open-top rear cargo area. Many pickups have short rigid sides and an opening rear gate, while others have a flat tray back. Similar vehicles are known in Australia and New Zealand as a ute or utility (from "utility vehicle") and in Israel as a tender.

The design details of such vehicles vary significantly, and different nationalities seem to specialise in different style and size of vehicles. For instance, North American pickups come both in full-size (large, heavy vehicles with big V6 or V8 engines) and compact (smaller trucks generally equipped with inline 4 or V6 engines).

North American full-size pickup is a large truck suitable for hauling heavy loads and performing other functions. Most full-size trucks can carry at least 1,000 lb (450 kg) in the rear bed, with some capable of twice that much. Most are front-engine and rear wheel drive with four wheel drive optional, and most use a live axle with leaf springs in the rear. They are commonly found with V8, V10, or Diesel engines. The largest full-size pickups feature doubled rear tires (two on each side on one axle). These are colloquially referred to as "duallys", or dual-wheeled pickup trucks, and are often equipped with a fifth wheel for towing heavy trailers.

Until recently, only the "Big Three" American automakers (Ford, GM and Chrysler) built full-size pickups. Toyota introduced the T100 full-size pickup truck in 1993, but sales were poor due to high prices and a lack of a V8 engine. However, the introduction of the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan marked the proper entry of Japanese makers in the market. Both of these trucks are assembled in North America.

As of 2005, five pick-ups are sold as full-size in North America:

Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra
Dodge Ram
Ford F-Series
Nissan Titan
Toyota Tundra

Americans have a special fondness for the pickup truck, and it has developed a mythos that is similar to that of the horse in the American Old West. In the United States, pickups tend to be portrayed as symbols of male virility. They figure prominently in "tough guy" and neo-Western motion pictures, such as "Hud, Urban Cowboy" and "Every Which Way But Loose". They are also a fixture in American politics, as in the famous campaign speech by Fred Thompson, who explained his opponent's shortcomings by saying "He hasn't spent enough time in a pickup truck." In 2004, Democratic Senate candidate Ken Salazar campaigned with his green pickup truck; Salazar later won the election.
