These targets form the core of Chief Executive Mary Barra’s boldest bid yet to position GM as a growth-focused technology company rather than a mere manufacturer of light vehicles. As cars become theultimate mobile devices, she wants to be theAppleof the automotive industry, a “platform innovator” with more than $80 billion in revenue from “new businesses” at the end of the decade.<blockquote>周三下午，这家底特律汽车巨头启动了自疫情爆发以来的首次重大战略活动，承诺到2030年将收入翻一番并提高利润率。这些目标构成了首席执行官玛丽·巴拉(Mary Barra)迄今为止最大胆的努力的核心，该努力将通用汽车定位为一家专注于增长的科技公司，而不仅仅是一家轻型汽车制造商。随着汽车成为终极移动设备，她希望成为汽车行业的苹果，成为一个“平台创新者”，在本世纪末从“新业务”中获得超过800亿美元的收入。</blockquote> Thevision itselfwasn’t hugely surprising—<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford</a>,Volkswagenand Chrysler-owner Stellantis have all talked upnew business opportunitiesin comparable investor days this year—but the numbers were. GM has made $138 billion of revenue annually in the past five years, on average. From that base, it expects roughly 5% annual growth from its traditional business of selling and financing light vehicles, including electric ones, and on top of that exponential growth in a range of complementary services that today mostly remain at the startup stage.<blockquote>这个景象本身并不令人惊讶——<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">福特</a>、大众汽车和克莱斯勒所有者Stellantis都在今年可比的投资者日谈论了新的商机，但数字却是如此。通用汽车在过去五年中平均每年创造1380亿美元的收入。在此基础上，该公司预计其销售和融资轻型汽车（包括电动汽车）的传统业务年增长率约为5%，除此之外，一系列补充服务也将呈指数级增长，这些服务目前大多仍处于启动阶段。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d5176be7b8e4d47c04af504a2f58747f\" tg-width=\"732\" tg-height=\"513\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">By far the most mature of these services is OnStar, which GM has built up over 25 years as a roadside-assistance service enabled by wireless technology. It probably accounts for the bulk of the $2 billion in high-margin revenue the company said it makes from subscriptions today. As onboard internet connections and operating systems move in line with the smartphone industry, GM expects that number to rise fast—to between $20 billion and $25 billion by 2030.<blockquote>到目前为止，这些服务中最成熟的是OnStar，通用汽车已经建立了25年多的无线技术路边援助服务。该公司表示，目前通过订阅获得的20亿美元高利润收入中，它可能占了大部分。随着车载互联网连接和操作系统与智能手机行业保持一致，通用汽车预计这一数字将快速上升——到2030年将达到200亿至250亿美元。</blockquote> That bullish projection seems almost timid next to GM’s claims for Cruise, the San Francisco based autonomous-vehicle operation it bought in 2016.
