滴滴快的投资印度最大叫车应用Ola

 　　Didi Kuaidi, the Chinese ride-hailing app, has become an investor¹ in its Indian counterpart Ola – raising the stakes as Uber tries to gain a greater toehold in Asia.

　　中国叫车应用滴滴快的(Didi Kuaidi)已成为印度叫车应用Ola的投资者，在优步(Uber)试图扩大在亚洲的影响力之际，此举将提高竞争赌注。

　　The size of the investment was not disclosed but the funds will help Ola expand in India, Didi Kuaidi said in a statement on Monday. Ola is already India's biggest taxi-hailing business, with 750,000 journeys a day in taxis, leased cars and motorised rickshaws giving it an 80 per cent market share.

　　滴滴并未透露投资规模，但该公司在周一的一份声明中称，这笔资金将帮助Ola在印度扩张。Ola已是印度最大叫车公司，每日通过出租车、租赁汽车和机动三轮车提供75万次的用车服务，占据印度80%的市场份额。

　　Despite this dominance, the move highlights the intensifying² competition among ride-hailing companies in Asia as US firm Uber ramps³ up its efforts in the Chinese and Indian markets. Chief executive Travis Kalanick has described both as the company's most important global growth markets.

　　尽管Ola在印度市场占据主导地位，但滴滴投资Ola之举突显出亚洲叫车应用公司之间的竞争日益激烈，美国公司优步正在中国和印度市场加速扩张。优步首席执行官特拉维斯愠灓尼克(Travis Kalanick)把这两个市场都视为优步最重要的全球增长市场。

　　The deal will also indirectly⁴ fuel greater competition between China's biggest internet companies: investors⁵ in Uber's China unit include Baidu, the Chinese search company, while Didi's backers include Tencent and Alibaba. Ola is backed, among others, by Japanese telecoms group SoftBank.

　　这笔交易还间接加剧了中国最大的几家互联网公司之间的竞争：优步中国公司的投资者包括中国搜索公司百度(Baidu)，而滴滴的支持者包括腾讯(Tencent)和阿里巴巴(Alibaba)。Ola的支持者包括日本电信集团软银(SoftBank)。
