不生产更多用于农村地区的汽车并增加技术转移，他可能将没收该公司在当地的装配工
厂。
查韦斯在当地时间周三晚间表示，这家日本汽车生产商需要将更多新技术和生产方法从
总部转移到它在委内瑞拉的工厂。
查韦斯的批评主要针对丰田，但他说，菲亚特(Fiat SpA)和通用汽车(General Motors)
等其他整车生产商也没有从海外向其委内瑞拉分支机构分享技术。
查韦斯说，他的社会主义政府将对汽车生产商生产的汽车数量和种类施以严格的配额制
。他还下令贸易部长萨曼(Eduardo Saman)调查丰田的工厂，表示这家工厂可能没有生
产足够的“乡村汽车”。“乡村汽车”是一种全地形汽车，在委内瑞拉的乡村地区有很
大的需求，并常常被改装成小型公共汽车。
查韦斯在一次电视讲话中说，他们必须完成（配额），如果不能，他们可以出去；我们
将引进别的公司。
他说，如果调查显示丰田没有生产他认为应该生产的东西，并且没有转移技术，政府可
能会考虑接管它的工厂，并由一家中国公司来运营。查韦斯说，我们会拿走它， |
