This is destined to be an unforgettable day.

The epidemic has struck, and our lives have been disrupted.

The familiar rhythm seems to have been pressed on the "pause button",

But everything related to life, Accelerate with all your strength,

Race at the same time, and compete with the disease.

The epidemic is here, and I am here!

Autobots, let’s go!

There is no winter that is insurmountable,

There is no spring that will not come.

(Limited space does not allow for detailed information. I would like to dedicate this document to all the Autobots who have contributed to the "anti-epidemic"!)

February 2, the New Year's Day 9. Huoshenshan Hospital was officially delivered.

In 10 days, 34,000 square meters, and 1,000 beds, this long-awaited hospital was completed!

For Wuhan, which is shrouded in the epidemic, this is a reassurance.

During the construction process of Leishenshan and Huoshenshan, 40 million netizens supervised the construction, and construction machinery such as excavators, cranes, cement mixers, and forklifts working on the front line were given various nicknames. Fork sauce, shovel sauce, white rabbit, long-neck green, little green... quickly became popular.

In these 10 days on the construction site, the "little green" SAIC Hongyan and Auman muck trucks operated for more than 20 hours on average every day; the "long-necked green" Lesa pump trucks continued to operate without stopping. The time lasted for 114.8 hours, and the total pumping volume reached 2,093 cubic meters; the "vomit sauce" is a concrete mixer truck provided by China National Heavy Duty Truck Co., Ltd., which constantly transports cement mortar; "Sending Emperor Gaozong" like a giraffe , it needs to telescope up and down, Foton Auman GTL made a base for it...

Behind the long-necked green, little white rabbit, and little green people who stayed up all night, the equipment support of the Beiqi Foton Ressa assisted in the construction The team and construction workers are fighting fiercely. To ensure that the equipment operates 24 hours a day and night, they are on call at all times.

Some people call them "infrastructure maniacs", while others praise them for creating "miracles". But there is no miracle, it’s just a group of ordinary workers who work hard, bit by bit, to build a tower!

Looking across the country, on this smokeless battlefield, there are Autobots everywhere.

In the face of the epidemic, after Dongfeng Motor, which was born in Jingchu, made the first donation, many complete vehicle and parts companies have donated money and materials, with the total amount exceeding more than 700 million yuan.

Among them, there are state-owned enterprises such as FAW, Dongfeng, SAIC, BAIC, GAC, and Chery, private brand backbones such as Geely, Great Wall, and BYD, as well as new car-making forces such as Xpeng and NIO. , WM Motor and Nezha, as well as Chinese and foreign parts giants such as Fuyao Glass, CATL, Bosch China, etc.

In addition to donating money and materials, the automobile industry also uses its special advantages to contribute to the fight against the epidemic.

Please fight! Wearing "armor" for frontline warriors

On January 24, New Year's Eve, SAIC Maxus Wuxi Shenlian Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. received an urgent order from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: 60 vehicles to be delivered before February 5 Negative pressure ambulances rush to help Hubei fight the epidemic.

Negative pressure ambulances are called the "armor" of medical workers and are mainly used to transport people with infectious diseases. Different from ordinary ambulances, it can carry out emergency treatment of new or sudden infectious diseases based on the principle of negative pressure isolation, minimizing cross-infection between doctors and patients and contamination of the external environment, and preventing further spread of the epidemic.

Under normal circumstances, the production cycle of these cars takes one month, which is compressed to 10 days, and the quality must be guaranteed. The task is quite arduous, but the epidemic is an order! On the same day, Xu Hongyi, deputy general manager of SAIC Maxus, and other management held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss the implementation plan. On the first day of the new year, the backbone of SAIC Maxus' technology, procurement, logistics, production and other departments were present. Employees returned to the factory and the factory resumed work. The company worked overtime and raced against time.

Ten days later, on the day Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital was built, 30 SAIC Maxus negative pressure ambulances rushed to the scene; at the same time, another 25 were undergoing final installation and commissioning at the SAIC Maxus Wuxi factory. Traveling under starry night, we arrived in Wuhan on February 6.

Qi Ruifu also received the emergency production task of "Armor".

“After receiving the company’s emergency start notice on New Year’s Day, I immediately drove from my hometown in Xuancheng to Wuhu.” Zhou Xiao is an assembly technician on the Chery River ambulance production line. Since the urgent start of work on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he has worked overtime for more than ten consecutive days, until 9 or 10 o'clock every night.

Electrician Luo Hailin was in his hometown in Fuyang when he received a call from the company. Because he could not buy a long-distance ticket, he drove his family's van back to Wuhu for more than five hours without saying a word. During the Spring Festival, more than 40 Chery River employees gave up their vacations and family reunions to contribute to the national anti-epidemic campaign.

Ke Chuandeng, general manager of Chery River, said that faced with the difficulties of shortage of manpower during the Spring Festival holiday, poor logistics and lack of core parts such as chassis, River has tried its best to overcome the difficulties. For suppliers who have difficulty delivering goods, the company will directly send vehicles to pick up the goods; for employees who have difficulty traveling when returning to work, the company will provide transportation support.

On the afternoon of February 5, in the workshop of Chery River Special Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., after more than 10 days of overtime work to rush production, 20 negative pressure ambulances were completed and successfully delivered.

In addition to SAIC Maxus and Chery River, car companies such as Beiqi Foton, Jiangling Motors, and Brilliance Automobile also took the initiative to "please fight" and completed their tasks in about 10 days to provide medical care on the front line of the fight against the "epidemic". Personnel and patients were sent "armor".

Act! Procurement in a race against time

With the spread of the epidemic and the shortage of anti-epidemic materials, automobile brands such as Chery, Geely, Lynk & Co, BYD, Changan Automobile, etc. have shown their magic and used their global networks to find procurement channels.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, different from the New Year greetings received in previous years, more than 20 overseas directors of the Chery International team also received an urgent task from Zhang Guibing, General Manager of Chery International—— The Chery Holding Group's anti-coronavirus epidemic team requires international companies to immediately start overseas anti-coronavirus material procurement and raise medical masks, medical gloves, surgical gowns, goggles, protective clothing, thermometers and other medical supplies that are in short supply in China globally. resource.

A "race against time" emergency procurement was quickly launched in Chery's major overseas bases and overseas partner channels. Xu Qingsong, general manager of Chery International Brazil, and Zhang Yufei, director, took the lead and set up an emergency procurement team with Brazilian partners to contact multiple local Brazilian suppliers to confirm the quantity, model and technical standards of medical supplies, requiring direct shipment of spot goods and overtime production. From inquiry and negotiation to materials arriving at the factory, it only takes one and a half days.

At this critical moment in the fight against the epidemic, overseas partners that Chery has cooperated with for many years have also extended a helping hand and participated in the fight against the epidemic.

In Vietnam, Chery’s local partners contacted multiple medical mask manufacturers through various relationships and finally gathered the planned purchase quantity.

In Argentina, the Argentinian Socoma Group (SOCMA), which has cooperated with Chery for more than ten years, mobilized the entire company to find mask resources that meet medical standards in Argentina and donated them on January 30. 26,000 medical masks.

Just six days later, the first batch of more than 30,000 N95 masks and medical disposable masks urgently purchased from Israel, Central Asia and other regions successfully arrived in China and were delivered to government departments.

As of February 2, Chery International’s overseas team has purchased a total of 56,060 pairs of N95 protective masks; 65,000 pairs of disposable medical masks; 1,200 sets of coveralls; and 11,000 sets of disposable surgical gowns; 1,000 outdoor forehead thermometers, 5,000 pairs of anti-fog goggles, and 10,000 pairs of sterile medical gloves are being shipped back to China one after another.

Searching for new ways and showing off their talents, Geely Automobile’s Belarusian team and Lynk & Co’s Swedish team also mobilized European “circles of friends” to purchase medical supplies.

On January 27, Wang Wenbo, general manager of Geely Belarus Engine Company, received an instruction from the headquarters. The task was simple. He was to purchase as many medical protective equipment as possible, such as masks, gloves, and protective clothing, and send them back to China to support the fight against the epidemic. "epidemic".

That night, the "Medical Supplies Procurement Donation Action Team" established by Geely Automobile divided into three groups and took action.

The first team was led by Wang Wenbo to clear out the inventory of medical supplies stores and labor protection supplies stores in the city; the first team was led by Chang Yingjie, the overseas KD procurement director of the group purchasing company, to search for protective product manufacturers online and offline , to negotiate the booking contract; the team was led by Xiang Congjian, the financial director of the group in Belarus, to mobilize dealers in Belarus to help open up procurement channels.

The teams are raising funds to purchase urgently needed medical supplies for epidemic prevention and control in countries and regions such as Sweden, Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, and supporting areas with severe epidemics in China.

On January 29, Geely Automobile’s Belarus team made the first batch of purchases, including 37,000 pairs of disposable medical gloves, 4,860 N95 protective masks, and 145 sets of medical protective clothing. At the same time, the team also ordered 100,000 disposable medical masks and 2,000 sets of protective clothing. After arriving in China, they were handed over to the Zhejiang Sunshine Education Foundation.

Brazil, Vietnam, Argentina, Kuwait, Israel, Russia, Belarus, Panama, Saudi Arabia...the list of countries on the purchasing list is increasing one by one.

It is hard to imagine that these important strategic materials were raised across several continents and multiple countries in such a short period of time, but Autobots all over the world did it.

Forward! The most beautiful motorcade "retrograde"

"On New Year's Day, when I drove down the street, I couldn't hold back and cried loudly!" 41-year-old Zhang Shaohua had never seen such a quiet Wuhan. .

On January 23, Wuhan announced a "city lockdown" and implemented a ban on motor vehicles in the central urban area. Private cars can no longer move freely. Once upon a time, the bustling streets and lively alleys were plunged into chaos. Silence.

People in 1,159 communities have no means of travel, but the need for emergency travel cannot be delayed for a moment.

"My hometown is sick, and I just want to do my part." Master Zhou signed up for Cao Cao's travel support team without hesitation, "This is our common home, I am so young, I Stay healthy and I must be on the front line!" When he saw Dongfeng Travel's call for emergency convoys, Zhang Shaohua and his husband immediately signed up and set off from their hometown Yangluo to the city of Wuhan before the city was closed.

In order to solve the problem of citizens’ inconvenience in traveling at home, Wuhan City has equipped several emergency support vehicles in each community. Dongfeng Travel and Caocao Travel were ordered to take over in times of crisis. From receiving the mission to executing the mission, there are only less than two days. Vehicle coordination and supply of goods and funds are no small problems.

Dongfeng Travel urgently coordinated resources from all parties, borrowed protective clothing from Shenlong Company, and issued an initiative to recruit volunteers for emergency fleet driving. 50 volunteers were recruited in less than 2 hours; Cao Cao Travel’s Series A investment The organizations Paradise Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley Paradise also immediately invested 1 million yuan to support the emergency prevention and control support fleet.

In this way, while others are self-isolating, thousands of "rebels" from car travel companies are walking through the streets and alleys of Wuhan, delivering doctors, medicines and supplies to residents. Transport medical staff to and from the hospital.

During these days, Master Lei gets up earlier than usual when he travels to Caocao to take orders. Sometimes patients need to go to the hospital at 6 o'clock and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. While the passengers are being examined at the hospital, he You have to wait outside, sometimes from noon until 9pm, and you have to disinfect the vehicle when you get back. You often can't rest until late at night.

31-year-old Chen Chen is not a native of Wuhan, but after living in Wuhan for 11 years, it has been regarded as her second home. In the community she is responsible for, a 75-year-old man has a history of cerebral infarction and must be sent to the hospital for rescue within 3 hours after becoming ill.

After learning the news, she called the elderly at scheduled times every day to inquire about their health. She also kept in regular calls with those who were sick or living alone. She felt that as long as she asked "How are you" on the phone, the old man would feel more at ease.

Not only in Wuhan, but also in other cities that implement traffic control, there are also many "rebels". For such cities, FAW Travel, a subsidiary of FAW, has organized a "special love fleet", which is uniformly dispatched and used by the local government. At the same time, all 4S stores of FAW's brand dealers actively participate in epidemic prevention and control work in accordance with the requirements of the local government, and obey the unified dispatch of the local government at any time.

On January 28, Oule Travel, a subsidiary of Great Wall Holdings, took the initiative to petition the Baoding City Epidemic Emergency Headquarters to set up the "Oule Travel Emergency Support Fleet to Fight the Epidemic" and established a cooperative relationship with the transportation authorities and transportation management agencies. With instant communication channels, drivers are on call 24 hours a day to provide convenient transportation service guarantees for medical staff and headquarters.

Behind the difficulties, there are heart-warming stories happening everywhere.

In early February, goggles, masks, gloves and other materials donated by 147 caring people from society were delivered to the Cao Cao Travel Wuhan Operation Center. The donation initiator said that she saw Cao Cao's travel support fleet providing free travel services to designated communities in Wuhan, and was deeply moved by this courageous and responsible spirit.

The support team was also very moved. Master Li said that these supplies gave the team drivers the confidence and confidence to stick to the front line of the fight against the epidemic. They will continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention and security, rush to the front line, protect their homes, and win this war together. " epidemic". ?

Help! Logistics and transportation are always prepared

Logistics and transportation are the main artery in the fight against the epidemic. Ensuring that large quantities of medicines, medical and life support materials are transported to various parts of Hubei Province as soon as possible is a key to winning the battle against the epidemic.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, nine Gelfa heavy-duty trucks and one Refine M6 commercial vehicle from JAC Motors and three heavy-duty trucks from other logistics companies formed an emergency fleet, fully loaded with 8 varieties and 300 tons of fresh vegetables. Arrive in Wuhan.

This is also a race, and the entire transportation process does not exceed 40 hours.

Back at 9:30 in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Rongquan, who was on duty at JAC Logistics Company, received a call that the company needed to dispatch multiple JAC semi-trailers to transport vegetables. Huang Rongquan quickly informed his subordinate supervisors and dispatchers. , counting the drivers in Hefei and the empty trucks without loading;

At 13:00 p.m., qualified drivers will gather at the company;

At 15:30 p.m., drivers Check the condition of each vehicle, and the vehicles are lined up waiting to be loaded with food;

At 6:00 on the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the inspection of materials and personnel was completed, and the fleet was organized with the love and hope of Hefei people and Jiangqi people. Loaded up and set off;

At 1:00 a.m. on the seventh day of the first lunar month, JAC Motors completed the material handover and then left the site in an orderly manner.

Like JAC Motors and JAC Logistics, many Autobots are actively supporting material transportation and construction tasks for epidemic prevention and control through various channels.

Providing vehicles is on the one hand, in view of the characteristics of long-distance transportation, and more importantly, ensuring vehicle condition and travel safety. During this special period, Foton Motor has launched the service concept of "free rescue regardless of brand", providing free help and rescue services to all vehicles transporting epidemic prevention and control materials, and providing 1v1 online Q&A with technical experts; for the safety of drivers To ensure safety, all maintenance vehicles entering SAIC Hongyan’s designated service station will receive anti-epidemic gift packs including masks, disinfectant wipes, hot water, convenience food, etc.

During the transportation process, logistics companies often bear important responsibilities. They are responsible for vehicle control, driver arrangement and other control work. In order to support epidemic prevention and control, Jiujiu Logistics has 22 five-star fleets across the country and Yunche Logistics has 18 special-line fleets to assist the government and public welfare organizations in providing domestic transportation services for items in epidemic areas free of charge; Guizhou Fengmao Logistics has also specially allocated 20 logistics vehicles to form a " "Red Convoy" volunteers to transport urgently needed epidemic prevention supplies to severely affected areas such as Wuhan, Hubei and other areas.

With concerted efforts, as of 24:00 on February 2, road transport vehicles have delivered masks, thermometers, protective clothing, medical alcohol, disinfectants, medical luggage and other epidemic prevention and control materials to Hubei and 68,000 tons of related living supplies.

They are not born heroes, but they contribute their own strength with ordinary hands; they are not born warriors, but they charge forward without hesitation in this battle against the epidemic. , move forward with a heavy load. ?

Let’s go! Autobots Catching Fire

This is the first time for many people to experience such a long vacation. Some people stay at home and enjoy the rare leisure time, but some people are "restless" and always want to do something to fight the epidemic.

The "Nowhere WEY Gathering" car club from Wuhan, the epidemic area, takes action. Three WEY car owners serve the city as volunteers almost around the clock, transporting supplies with a total value of more than 10 million yuan.

The NIO car owner "Fat Beep Snail" from Nanchang is a doctor at the Emergency Center of the North Branch of the First Hospital of Nanchang, Jiangxi. After the outbreak, he served as the first medical team in Jiangxi Province to support Hubei. The team members rushed to Wuhan and are now fighting on the front line against the epidemic in Wuhan Fifth Hospital. "The epidemic is an order, time is life, and aiding Hubei is responsibility." He wrote in his expedition book.

The sister-in-law of Volvo car owner Wang Jing is a nurse and has been working on the front line during the epidemic. While helping her sister-in-law settle her family members, she felt that in order not to cause a burden to society, could she help these brave people? Provide security vehicles for medical staff? Subsequently, Wang Jing and other car owners spontaneously formed the "White Hero Guard" to escort medical staff home safely every day.

Weilai car owner Wei Xiangqian is a catering practitioner in Wuhan. He is on the front line of the fight against the epidemic. He drives to designated hospitals every day to provide meals for frontline medical staff. In and out of the hospital, he also I will thoroughly disinfect myself and my car, but I still dare not go home because I am worried about infecting my family.

Donating money and materials has become a routine action for car owners everywhere.

In Huanggang, Mr. Mei, the owner of Changan Auchan X7, saw that there were still people running outside regardless of danger every day. Mr. Mei and his family spontaneously organized a volunteer team to purchase protective materials: masks and protective glasses. , disinfectant, etc., contact nearby township hospitals that are in difficulty with supplies, and donate supplies to the medical heroes on the front line.

In Ningbo, the Dongqian Lake Longji Rescue Team, composed of GAC FCA Jeep owners, provided a fully automatic disinfectant making machine worth 500,000 yuan to the Dongqianhu Town Government free of charge for schools, Public places such as kindergartens, villages, communities, and nursing homes produce 50 tons of disinfectant on site, and cooperate with other Jeep fleets to provide door-to-door delivery services... "When one side is in trouble, support from all sides, and we are united, we will definitely succeed in the end, I just hope Can this day come as soon as possible?" Although these individual car owners have limited power, they are like sparks, gathering together to start a prairie fire against the epidemic.

Looking back at the past, SARS in 2003, the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008... every major emergency, there were indispensable figures of Autobots donating money and materials and rushing to the front line, as responsible for China's manufacturing industry , as long as the country needs it, Chinese car people will never be absent.

Under the epidemic, Chinese car people will not retreat. Chinese car people will set off!
