中国家电制造商美的和格力报告称，由于欧洲多国自5月底以来打破历史高温纪录，便携式分体空调需求激增。
在广东佛山顺德区的美的集团空调工厂，工人们正在加班加点提高便携式分体空调产量。这些产品通过中欧班列运往欧洲，运输时间为15至25天。
美的RAC欧洲区销售总监熊雪芹表示，公司正利用灵活制造能力快速响应欧洲消费者需求。产品到达海外港口后，当地子公司协助清关以快速分销。
欧洲家庭长期面临空调选择难题。传统便携式空调通常笨重且噪音大，而分体式空调安装成本高、周期长。美的的PortaSplit产品通过免工具安装解决了这些问题，并适配欧洲历史建筑的窗户。
中国对西欧国家家用空调出口在前五个月同比增长9.7%，其中便携式空调类别增长超过70%。法国、西班牙、德国和英国的销售额同比增幅超过70%。
