俄罗斯卫星通讯社莫斯科10月20日电澳大利亚广播公司报道称，该国唯一一家仍在经营的汽车企业—霍顿公司宣布关闭位于阿德莱德的该国最后一家汽车厂。澳元汇率过高、生产成本增加和汽车市场竞争激烈被认为是车企退出澳大利亚的主要原因。汽车生产的终结可能导致汽车配件和辅助设备生产厂商数千名工作人员失业。
Russia's satellite news agency, Moscow, October 20, Australia Broadcasting Corporation reported that the only car company still operating in Adelaide -- Houghton company announced the closure of the last car factory in the country. The high Australian dollar exchange rate, the increase in production costs and the fierce competition in the car market are considered to be the main reasons for the withdrawal of car companies from Australia. The end of car production may lead to the unemployment of thousands of workers in auto parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturers.
