近日有媒体报道称，菲亚特克莱斯勒公司（FCA）即将和北汽合作成立合资公司北汽菲克，并邀请北京汽车副总裁蔡建军担任新合资公司负责人，且合资公司成立后的产品或为道奇和克莱斯勒两者之一。但蔡建军本人对此表示否认。早在2016年9月，就有媒体透露FCA即将和北汽合作成立北汽菲克，据之前的报道称，该项目代号为BFC，由北汽集团战略规划部部长于立国牵头部署，不久后北汽否认这一消息。资料显示，2014年1月菲亚特出资43.5亿美元，收购克莱斯勒100%股权，同年年12月，克莱斯勒宣布，公司更名为菲亚特-克莱斯勒汽车公司（FCA）。目前FCA在中国仅与广汽成立了合资公司，双方于2015年7月16日宣告成立。据之前媒体公开的消息称，北汽与克莱斯勒集团早在1983年就有过合作，双方成立了北京吉普汽车有限公司，后来戴姆勒集团进入合资公司，北京吉普汽车有限公司变为北汽戴姆勒克莱斯勒，最后因各方品牌争夺导，致该品牌最终消失。据外媒报道，美国环保署于1月12日指控FCA使用未经申报的软件掩盖汽车排放超标问题，事件涉及该公司旗下10.4万辆柴油汽车。如果判定有责，FCA可能面临高达46亿美元的巨额罚款。

 

Rumor that BAIC Establishes a Joint-Venture Company with FCA Faces Denial from Cai Jianjun

Media reported that FCA would establish a joint-venture company with BAIC, and that BAIC’s Vice President Cai Jianjun would take charge of the new company. It’s also said that the new company would produce Dodge or Chrysler. But Cai Jianjun denied the fact during interview for confirmation.

 

In as early as in September, 2016, media revealed that FCA would established a joint-venture company with BAIC with the project code of “BFC”. It’s said that Yu Liguo, Minister of BAIC Group Strategic Planning Department, would take in charge of the project. But BAIC Group denied the news afterwards.

 

Public data shows that Fiat invested USD 4.35b in January, 2014, to purchase 100% shares of Chrysler. Chrysler announced to change its name as FCA in the same year. Currently, FCA established a joint-venture company with GAC on July 16th, 2015.

 

According to public information, BAIC cooperated with Chrysler in 1983 by establishing Beijing Jeep Automotive Company. Daimler Group joined in the joint-venture company afterwards, and Beijing Jeep turned into BAIC Daimler Chrysler. But the brand vanished in the process of competition from relevant brands.

 

It’s reported from foreign media that USEPA accused FCA of using undeclared software to cover the excessive exhaust emissions on January 12th, involving 104,000 units’ diesel vehicles under the brand. FCA may face a huge fine of USD 4.6b if found liable.
