Swedish EV startup Polestar will supply up to 65,000 vehicles to Hertz over five years, the two companies announced on April 4, 2022.

两家公司在2022年4月4日宣布，瑞典电动汽车初创公司极星将在五年内向赫兹租车提供近65000辆汽车。

Swedish electric vehicle maker Polestar will supply up to 65,000 vehicles to car rental giant Hertz Global over the next five years, the two companies announced Monday morning.

两家公司于周一上午宣布，瑞典电动汽车制造商极星将在未来五年向汽车租赁巨头赫兹租车提供进65000辆汽车。

Hertz will begin making fully electric Polestar 2s available via its network in Europe this spring, and in North America and Australia before the end of 2022.

赫兹租车将于今年春天开始在欧洲通过其网络提供全电动的极星2s，并在2022年底前向北美和澳大利亚提供同等服务。

Polestar’s CEO said the deal is a boon for the EV start-up for reasons that go beyond the revenue it will realize from the sales.

极星的首席执行官说，这笔交易对该家电动车初创公司来说是一个福音，其原因不只是在于销售中将获得的创收。

“The partnership （with Hertz）will bring the amazing experience of driving an electric car to a wider audience” of Hertz customers, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said. “For many of them it may be the first time they have driven an EV, and it will be a Polestar.”

极星的首席执行官托马斯·英格拉特说，“（与赫兹的）合作将把驾驶电动汽车的奇妙体验带给更多的赫兹租车客户。对很多人来说，这可能第一次驾驶电动车，并且将驾驶一辆极星。”

Polestar sold 29,000 vehicles last year. The company expects its sales pace to reach 290,000 vehicles per year by the end of 2025.

极星去年销售了29000辆车。该公司预计到2025年底，其销售速度将达到每年29万辆。

For Hertz, the deal is a significant step forward in its plan to build the largest fleet of rental EVs in North America, and one of the largest in the world.

对于赫兹租车来说，这项交易是其建立北美最大、全球规模领先的租赁电动车车队的计划中举足轻重的一步。

Polestar was formed in 2017 as a joint venture between Volvo Cars and its corporate parent, Chinese automaker Geely. The company is planning to go public by the end of the second quarter via a merger with special purpose acquisition company Gores Guggenheim.

极星成立于2017年，是沃尔沃汽车集团与其母公司中国汽车制造商吉利集团的合资企业。该公司计划在第二季度末与特殊目的收购公司（SPAC）Gores Guggenheim合并上市。
