China’s leading ride-hailing service provider Didi Chuxing said on Monday it will invest US$1 billion into its auto services business as part of its efforts to re-brand the unit.

　　周一，中国领先约车服务提供商滴滴出行表示，将在其汽车服务业务方面投资10亿美元。这是该公司努力重塑品牌的一部分。

　　The funding towards the new business unit, called Xiaoju Automobile Solutions, will be used to support its business in providing Didi drivers and the broader car-owner community with convenient, flexible, economical, and reliable one-stop auto services.

　　新业务部门“小桔车服”的资金将用于支持该项业务，为滴滴司机和更多车主提供便捷简单、灵活实惠、值得信赖的一站式汽车服务。

　　Didi’s business, which includes auto leasing, car maintenance and gas station services, as well as car rental services, are now available in 257 cities in a network of over 7,500 partners and distributors.

　　滴滴的业务包括了汽车租赁、汽车维修、加油站服务服务等领域。与其汽车租凭服务一样，滴滴如今已在257个城市，拥有超过7500家合作伙伴和分销网络。

　　Didi said these services contribute an annual transaction size of about 60 billion yuan (US$8.79 billion).

　　滴滴称，每年这些服务交易额约达600亿元人民币(合87.9亿美元)。

　　The move came after Didi’s shift towards the expansion of its revenue stream beyond car-hailing to include more services for car owners, automobile companies and auto communities.

　　该举措是继滴滴作出战略调整，将收入来源从(原先的)预约车服务拓展到面向车主、汽车公司、汽车社区的多样化服务之后推出的。

　　The creation of Xiaoju Automobile Solutions is not only a key step towards achieving Didi’s automobile alliance strategy, but also a milestone in organizational innovation as we continue to expand our business horizon, said Founder, Chairman and CEO of Didi Chuxing Cheng Wei,.

　　滴滴出行创始人、董事长兼首席执行官程维表示:“创建“小桔汽车维修方案”，不仅是实现滴滴汽车联盟战略的关键一步，也是我们继续拓展业务领域的组织创新里程碑。”

　　In the future, Didi will continue a win-win collaborative network with partners throughout the automotive industry chain to build a new transportation ecosystem designed for a future of shared mobility,” he added.

　　他补充称:“未来，滴滴将继续与整个汽车产业链的合作伙伴建立一个双赢的合作网络，创建一个面向未来共享自助的新交通生态系统。”

　　Didi launched its auto solution platform in April 2018, which started out with as many as 30 million Didi drivers, and has been striving to develop a one-stop auto solution platform since then. It also serves as a crucial extension of Didi’s overall automotive strategy to target not only riders and drivers, but also the automobile industry chain covering pre-sale and after sale processes.

　　滴滴在2018年4月推出了自己的自动解决方案平台，该平台最初有3000万名滴滴司机，此后一直在努力开发一个一站式的自动解决方案平台。它也是滴滴整体汽车战略的重要延伸，这不仅针对乘客和司机，还针对覆盖售前和售后流程的汽车产业链。
