Yulon Group (裕隆集團) chief executive officer Kenneth Yen (嚴凱泰) died yesterday at the age of 54, Yulon Motor Co (裕隆汽車) announced in a statement.

裕隆汽車在聲明稿裡證實，裕隆集團董事長嚴凱泰在昨天病逝，享壽54歲。

Yen’s wife, Lilian Chen (嚴陳莉蓮), is to take over for her husband, and corporate operations would not be affected by Yen’s death, the statement said.

聲明稿也提出，嚴凱泰的妻子（嚴陳莉蓮）預計將接替嚴凱泰的職位，且公司的運作不會因為嚴凱泰的病逝而受到影響。

The statement did not specify the cause of Yen’s death, but Chinese-language media reports, citing unnamed sources at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said Yen had been treated at the hospital for some time for esophageal cancer.

聲明稿裡並沒有準確說明嚴的死因，但是根據媒體報導，嚴凱泰有很長的時間都待在台北榮總來治療食道癌。

The news caught many off guard, although media reports said Yen’s absence from an investors’ conference in June had aroused speculations about his health.

這則新聞讓許多人相當錯愕，儘管嚴凱泰在今年六月的投資人會議上的缺席已經引起許多人對於他的健康的猜測。

Yulon Group at the time said he had taken a day off due to a leg injury.

裕隆集團在當時稱嚴是因為腿傷而缺席該次會議。

Yen was the only child of Yen Ching-ling (嚴慶齡), the founder of Yulon Group, and “Iron Lady” Vivian Shun-wen Wu (吳舜文), the group’s former chairwoman.

嚴凱泰是裕隆集團創辦人嚴慶齡和鐵娘子吳舜文（裕隆集團前董事長）的獨子。

He studied at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and after returning home in 1989, he joined the automaker as a vice president.

嚴曾就讀於休斯頓的萊斯大學，之後在1989年返台並擔任裕隆集團的副執行長。

He was appointed the group’s chief executive officer in 1990.

他在1990年被指定為裕隆集團的執行長。
After Yulon Motor reported losses for the third consecutive year in 1995, Yen decided to restructure the automaker by moving its Taipei office and plant in what was then Sindian, Taipei County, to a site in Miaoli County’s Sanyi Township (三義) to lower overheads and to integrate the office and factory.

在裕隆集團於1993~1995年間出現連年的虧損之後，嚴凱泰決定重整集團，把位於台北新店的辦公室以及工廠遷至苗栗三義，以降低支出並且整合辦公室和工廠。

Under his leadership, Yulon Motor introduced the Cefiro passenger car in 1995, which became the best-selling vehicle in the nation and helped turn around the company.

在他的領導之下，裕隆汽車在1995年推出了Cefiro豪華房車，這款房車也成為國內最熱銷的車種，並幫助公司由虧轉盈。

Yen took over as chairman of Yulon Motor in 2007 from his mother and expanded the group’s business scope to industries including textiles, electronics and construction.

嚴凱泰在2007年接替他母親的職位，成為裕隆汽車的董事長，並擴展該集團的商業規模，包括紡織、電子和建設。
