Rockwell Automation, a solutions and services provider to the automotive industry, opened an 8,000 square-foot Electric Vehicle (EV) Innovation Center in San Jose, California, within its Information Solutions development facility. The center will provide live manufacturing demonstrations, hands-on trials utilizing new technology and events showcasing collaboration with industry experts and Rockwell Automation partners.

作为汽车行业的解决方案和服务提供商，罗克韦尔自动化在其加利福尼亚州圣何塞市的信息解决方案开发中心开设了一个8000平方英尺的电动汽车（EV）创新中心。该中心将提供现场制造演示，利用新技术的实际试验，以及展示与行业专家和罗克韦尔自动化合作伙伴的合作活动。

Utilizing augmented and virtual reality modeling, the EV Innovation Center provides automotive start-ups and established manufacturers an environment to learn new technologies and standards, enabling them to deliver electric vehicles to market.
 
电动汽车创新中心利用增强和虚拟现实建模，为汽车初创企业和老牌制造商提供学习新技术和标准的环境，使他们能够将电动汽车推向市场。
 
The combination of Rockwell Automation technology with partner technology is what makes the center unique. Specifically, Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, is an integrated solution that combines software from PTC and Rockwell Automation. Similarly, Eagle Technologies provides the battery pack assembly machine, and FANUC furnishes robot technologies, both integrated with Rockwell Automation technology.

罗克韦尔自动化技术与合作伙伴技术的结合使得该中心独一无二。具体而言，由PTC提供支持的罗克韦尔自动化FactoryTalk InnovationSuite是一个集成了PTC和罗克韦尔自动化软件的集成解决方案。同样，Eagle Technologies提供电池组装配机，FANUC提供机器人技术，两者均与罗克韦尔自动化技术集成。
 
Hirata, a turnkey assembly line builder, provides an assembly cell that demonstrates electric drive unit assembly and testing. Emulate 3D, Rockwell Automation’s simulation software, helps to prototype and test machines before they’re built, teamtechnik performs functional testing to confirm performance before building the drive into the electric vehicle.

Hirata是一家交钥匙装配线制造商，它提供了一个展示电动驱动单元组装和测试的组装单元。罗克韦尔自动化的仿真软件“Emulate 3D”有助于在机器制造前对其进行原型制作和测试，teamtechnik在将驱动装置安装到电动车辆之前进行功能测试以确认性能。
 
By 2040, it’s expected that 54% of new vehicle sales will be electric vehicles, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Batteries currently represent a third of the cost of an EV. As battery costs continue to fall, demand for EVs will rise, with up to 40 million new EV batteries needed annually to power new vehicles.

据彭博新能源财经报道，到2040年，预计新车销量的54%将是电动汽车。电池目前占电动汽车成本的三分之一。随着电池成本的持续下降，电动汽车的需求将会上升，每年需要多达4000万节新的电动汽车电池来为新车提供动力。
