The UK’s biggest gigafactory has shelved(搁置) plans to expand production in Sunderland because of stalled talks(陷入僵局的谈判) on a deal to supply electric car batteries to Jaguar Land Rover.
英国最大的超级工厂已搁置在桑德兰扩大生产的计划，原因是与捷豹路虎就供应电动汽车电池的协议谈判陷入僵局。
Chinese-owned AESC produces batteries for Nissan at its gigafactory(超级工厂) next door to the Japanese carmaker’s Sunderland plant. However, AESC has had to push back(推迟) its ramp-up(产能提升) plans because of lower-than-expected demand from Nissan and the lack of a deal with JLR, according to people with knowledge of the situation(据知情人士透露).
中资企业AESC在其与日本汽车制造商日产桑德兰工厂相邻的超级工厂为日产生产电池。然而，据知情人士透露，由于日产需求低于预期以及与捷豹路虎（JLR）未能达成协议，AESC不得不推迟其产能提升计划。
The delays are another sign of the slowing transition(过渡，转变) from petrol and diesel to electric cars. Andy Burnham’s Labour government on Friday revealed(透露，揭示) that it could cut the UK’s electric car sales targets further, in a potential blow to(对…的潜在打击) the electric vehicle supply chain.
这些延迟是汽油和柴油车向电动汽车转型放缓的又一迹象。安迪·伯纳姆领导的工党政府上周五透露，可能会进一步削减英国的电动汽车销售目标，这对电动汽车供应链可能造成打击。
