New Record: One Million Robots Work in Car Industry Worldwide
新紀錄:全球汽車業機器人運營存量達100萬台

Frankfurt, Mar 22, 2023 — The automotive industry has the largest number of robots working in factories around the world: Operational stock hit a new record of about one million units. This represents about one third of the total number installed across all industries.

法蘭克福
，2023年3月22日——汽車工業在全球工廠中擁有最多的機器人：運營存量達到了約100萬台的新紀錄。這占所有行業安裝總量的三分之一左右。

“The automotive industry effectively invented automated manufacturing,” says Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics. “Today, robots are playing a vital role in enabling this industry’s transition from combustion engines to electric power. Robotic automation helps car manufacturers manage the wholesale changes to long-established manufacturing methods and technologies.”

國際機器人聯合會主席Marina Bill表示：“汽(qi)車(che)工(gong)業(ye)有(you)效(xiao)地(di)發(fa)明(ming)了(le)自(zi)動(dong)化(hua)製(zhi)造(zao)。如(ru)今(jin)，機(ji)器(qi)人(ren)在(zai)推(tui)動(dong)該(gai)行(xing)業(ye)從(cong)內(nei)燃(ran)機(ji)向(xiang)電(dian)動(dong)化(hua)過(guo)渡(du)方(fang)麵(mian)發(fa)揮(hui)著(zhe)至(zhi)關(guan)重(zhong)要(yao)的(de)作(zuo)用(yong)。機(ji)器(qi)人(ren)自(zi)動(dong)化(hua)有(you)助(zhu)於(yu)汽(qi)車(che)製(zhi)造(zao)商(shang)管(guan)理(li)對(dui)長(chang)期(qi)建(jian)立(li)起(qi)來(lai)的(de)製(zhi)造(zao)方(fang)法(fa)和(he)技(ji)術(shu)進(jin)行(xing)大(da)規(gui)模(mo)變(bian)革(ge)。”

Robot density in automotive
汽車領域中的機器人密度

Robot density is a key indicator which illustrates the current level of automation in the top car producing economies: In the Republic of Korea, 2,867 industrial robots per 10,000 employees were in operation in 2021. Germany ranks in second place with 1,500 units followed by the United States counting 1,457 units and Japan with 1,422 units per 10,000 workers.

機器人密度是說明主要汽車生產經濟體當前自動化水平的一個關鍵指標。2021年
，韓國每萬名工人中有2867台工業機器人在運行。德國以每萬名工人1500台排名第二，隨後是美國的1457台和日本的1422台。

The world´s biggest car manufacturer, China, has a robot density of 772 units, but is catching up fast: Within a year, new robot installations in the Chinese automotive industry almost doubled to 61,598 units in 2021- accounting for 52% of the total 119,405 units installed in factories around the world.

中國作為全球最大的汽車製造國，機器人密度僅為772台，但正在快速追趕：在2021這一年之內，中國汽車行業新安裝的機器人幾乎翻倍至6萬1598台
，占全球工廠總安裝量11萬9405台的52%。

Electric vehicles drive automation
電動汽車推動自動化

Ambitious political targets for electric vehicles are forcing the car industry to invest: The European Union has announced plans to end the sale of air-polluting vehicles by 2035. The US government aims to reach a voluntary goal of 50% market share for electric vehicle sales by 2030 and all new vehicles sold in China must be powered by “new energy” by 2035. Half of them must be electric, fuel cell, or plug-in hybrid – the remaining 50%, hybrid vehicles.

雄心勃勃的政治目標正促使整個汽車行業投資於電動化：歐盟已宣布計劃在2035年前停止銷售空氣汙染型車輛；美國政府旨在通過自願目標，在2030年前將電氣化交通市場份額提高到50%
；到2035年
，在中國銷售的所有新車必須由“新能源”驅動，其中一半必須是純電

、燃料電池或插電式混合動力車輛
，剩下的50%是混合動力車輛。

Most automotive manufacturers who have already invested in traditional “caged” industrial robots for basic assembling are now also investing in collaborative applications for final assembly and finishing tasks. Tier-two automotive parts suppliers, many of which are SMEs, are slower to automate fully. Yet, as robots become smaller, more adaptable, easier to program and less capital-intensive this is expected to change.
