Volvo Cars signed a memorandum of strategic cooperation with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL, SHE: 300750) on April 16 to work together in the area of battery recycling.
4月16日，沃爾沃汽車與寧德時代技術有限公司（CATL，SHE：300750）簽署了戰略合作備忘錄，在電池回收領域進行合作。
The partnership aims to promote the recycling of battery materials and reduce the carbon footprint of electric vehicles (EVs) throughout their life cycle, the automaker said in a statement today.
該汽車製造商在今天的一份聲明中表示，該夥伴關係旨在促進電池材料的回收並減少電動汽車（EV）在整個生命週期中的碳足跡。
Power batteries contain a variety of non-renewable metal elements and their carbon emissions from mining and processing account for a significant proportion of the battery production cycle, Volvo said.
沃爾沃說，動力電池含有各種不可再生的金屬元素，其來自採礦和加工的碳排放佔電池生產週期的很大一部分。
On the other hand, with the rapid development of China's EV market, a large number of power batteries will gradually come to the end of their life, and retired batteries that are not properly disposed of will pose a serious challenge to the environment, the automaker said.
另一方面，該汽車製造商表示，隨着中國電動汽車市場的快速發展，大量動力電池將逐漸走到壽命的盡頭，而處置不當的退役電池將對環境構成嚴重挑戰。

Volvo and CATL will reduce EV full life cycle carbon emissions by dismantling, recycling and reusing used batteries, according to the statement.
聲明稱，沃爾沃和寧德時代將通過拆解、回收和再利用廢舊電池來減少電動汽車全生命週期的碳排放。
Volvo will recycle retired batteries from EVs it sells, as well as batteries scrapped during factory production.
沃爾沃將回收其銷售的電動汽車中的報廢電池，以及工廠生產期間報廢的電池。
These batteries will be dismantled by Volvo-certified suppliers to extract more than 90 percent of the nickel, cobalt, lithium and other metal materials.
沃爾沃認證的供應商將拆解這些電池，以提取90％以上的鎳、鈷、鋰和其他金屬材料。
CATL will use these recycled materials to produce new batteries that will be used in the production of new Volvo vehicles, according to the statement.
聲明稱，CATL將使用這些回收材料生產新電池，用於生產新的沃爾沃汽車。
The agreement is an important milestone in building a battery recycling, closed-loop business model in China, opening a new chapter in closed-loop management of the battery cycle, said Tan Libin, co-president of CATL's marketing system.
寧德時代營銷系統聯席總裁譚利賓表示，該協議是中國建立電池回收閉環商業模式的重要里程碑，開啓了電池循環閉環管理的新篇章。
Volvo unveiled its sustainability strategy in 2019, aiming to reach an average of 30 percent recycled material use across its entire model range by 2030, and to include at least 35 percent recycled materials in new models produced from 2030 onwards.
沃爾沃在2019年公佈了其可持續發展戰略，目標是到2030年在整個車型系列中實現平均30％的再生材料使用率，並在2030年起生產的新車型中納入至少35％的回收材料。
Volvo is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, which will require a concerted effort from supplier partners across the chain, said Li Hai, vice president of supply chain for the automaker's Asia-Pacific region.
沃爾沃汽車製造商亞太地區供應鏈副總裁李海表示，沃爾沃致力於到2040年實現溫室氣體淨零排放，這將需要整個鏈條的供應商合作伙伴齊心協力。
