参议院商务委员会周三推进了两党立法,旨在加强对中国汽车制造商进入美国市场的禁令,,尽管主席 Ted Cruz, R-Texas, 警告称,这可能会无意中禁止梅赛德斯-奔驰在该国销售汽车。
The Senate Commerce Committee advanced bipartisan legislation Wednesday aimed at toughening a ban on Chinese automakers from the U.S. market, even as Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warned that it could unintentionally bar Mercedes-Benz from selling vehicles in the country.
Cruz said during the committee的 markup of the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026 that the bill的 15% Chinese ownership threshold would cover Mercedes-Benz because two Chinese investors collectively own nearly 20% of its shares.
"We would never consider" banning Mercedes-Benz, Cruz said, adding that the bill would need to be changed before becoming law.
Mercedes-Benz的 two largest individual shareholders are Chinese state-owned automaker BAIC, formerly the Beijing Automotive Industrial Corp., with a 9.98% stake, and Geely founder Li Shufu, with 9.69%.
该法案将编纂联邦限制措施,旨在将与中国相关的汽车技术排除在美国之外,因为担心联网汽车可能收集敏感数据的国家安全问题。
The bill would codify federal restrictions intended to keep Chinese-linked vehicle technology out of the U.S. over national security concerns that connected cars could collect sensitive data.
"我们'正在防止绝对,总计,和对我们工业基础的彻底破坏,"参议员伯尼·莫雷诺, R-俄亥俄,说,他与参议员Elissa Slotkin, D-密歇根州一起提出了该法案。
"We're preventing an absolute, total, and complete destruction of our industrial base," said Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, who introduced the bill with Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.
Mercedes-Benz previously declined to comment on the legislation but said it employs more than 10,000 people in the U.S. and operates assembly plants in Alabama and South Carolina.
莫雷诺在涨价期间表示,梅赛德斯-奔驰必须在 2030 年之前遵守所有权限制,并可以寻求豁免。
Moreno said during the markup that Mercedes-Benz would have until 2030 to comply with the ownership limit and could seek a waiver.
During the markup, Cruz also accused General Motors of supporting the provision in an effort to weaken Mercedes-Benz and make Cadillac more competitive.
"GM 正在推动这项规定,以使梅赛德斯-奔驰退出市场," Cruz 表示。
"GM is pushing for this provision to get Mercedes-Benz out of the market," Cruz said.
通用汽车和梅赛德斯-奔驰没有立即回应置评请求。通用汽车是美国最畅销的汽车制造商
GM and Mercedes-Benz did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM is the top-selling automaker in the U.S.
