Fighting the virus for speed, the Autobots race against time to help fight the epidemic

Set up a team of volunteers within 12 hours, switch to mask production in 3 days, complete vehicle modifications in 5 days... For many car people, this New Year has been given special meaning.

Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia across the country, epidemic prevention and control work has been severe and complicated. Cars are an important guarantee in the travel field, and automobile companies are also regarded as an important force in winning this "war against the epidemic". The sudden epidemic has disrupted the pace of resumption of work by automobile companies and has also become a major test for the comprehensive capabilities of the automobile industry.

From Hubei to the whole country, as the epidemic develops, this special team composed of automobile companies continues to grow. In addition to donating money and materials, many car companies have gone deep into the front line of fighting the epidemic through various methods such as organizing volunteer services and switching to production of anti-epidemic materials, and went all out to devote themselves to this smokeless battle.

“At this moment, we need to step forward even more.”

“The municipal party committee calls on party members from all walks of life in the city to actively report to the front line of epidemic prevention. We are now counting the list of party members participating in community volunteers. "At 0:10 on February 15, a document from Dongfeng Company's Shiyan Base Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters caused Li Ziquan to lose sleep all night.

Shiyan City is the headquarters of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Xinjiang Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Xinjiang"). It is also where Li Ziquan lived and worked since he was a child.

Due to historical reasons, Shiyan became associated with cars and was built because of cars. Someone joked, "In Shiyan City, most residents are either employees of Dongfeng Motor or their family members."

On February 12, the Shiyan City New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued a notice announcing that the entire Zhangwan District of Shiyan City will implement wartime controls from 0:00 on February 12, and all communities and buildings will be closed. Closed, people and vehicles are not allowed to go out to curb the spread of the epidemic. This is also the country’s first wartime control order during the epidemic.

It is reported that some old communities in Zhangwan District are semi-open, and the property management companies are short of manpower, making management difficult. As a party member of the Dongfeng Xinjiang Party Committee Work Section, Li Ziquan feels that it is his unshirkable responsibility to join this "epidemic fight".

At 4:10 a.m. on February 15, Li Ziquan could not restrain his eagerness. He forwarded the notice to organize volunteer registration in the branch’s WeChat group and became the first batch of applicants. Subsequently, within just a few hours, 19 party members of Dongfeng Xinjiang signed up to participate one after another, and all registration work was completed before 12 noon that day.

Contact the community, issue personal protection regulations to volunteers, and prepare protective equipment... In one day, Li Ziquan completed a series of preparations. At 8 a.m. on February 16, Li Ziquan took up his post at the "Fire Line".

Assist community workers in persuasion work, deliver food to the doorsteps of people with limited mobility, and help residents in need of medical treatment contact emergency taxis and purchase medicines. In his opinion, the work of volunteers is busy and fulfilling. But sometimes, he also encounters residents who "forcibly break through".

“We are all neighbors, and the work of volunteers is still based on persuasion.” When encountering uncooperative residents, Li Ziquan will always explain various policies calmly. He said: "I hope that the work of volunteers will be understood by everyone and we will work together to win the battle against the epidemic."

In Shiyan, there are many volunteers like Li Ziquan. few. Taking the registration situation of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles as an example, as of 8 p.m. on February 17, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles’ vehicle factories, powertrain divisions, Dongfeng Xinjiang, Dongfeng Motor Trading Co., Ltd. and other units*** had 991 party members volunteering Participants must register and report to their community (village).

In an interview with the media, Xiao Xu, deputy commander of the Zhangwan District New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters and deputy mayor of Zhangwan District, revealed that party member volunteers among community residents and cadres from district-level units , cadres from township and sub-district offices, etc. formed special teams to provide services and became an important force in the implementation of the "wartime control order".

It is worth mentioning that as the epidemic prevention and control war continues, the Youth League Committee of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd. also responded to the call immediately to fully support and cooperate with the anti-epidemic work.

“I signed up, I want to be an epidemic prevention and control volunteer.” When receiving the notice to mobilize to participate in voluntary services for epidemic prevention and control, Liu Beichen, a post-90s volunteer, took the initiative to sign up. He got in touch with the Zhangwan community and was mainly responsible for registering people entering and leaving, and admonishing undocumented people to enter and leave.

“After participating in volunteer service work, I felt the complexity of grassroots community work.

I think it's very worthwhile to be able to replace the heroes who have already been charging ahead, even if it's just to give them a rest. "Liu Beichen said, "At this moment, we need to step forward even more. ”

From grabbing masks to making masks, the sense of mission came “too suddenly”

Unlike Li Ziquan, Wei Tingting, a front-line employee of SAIC-GM-Wuling located in Liuzhou, Guangxi, came to the rescue in another way We are on the front line of this battle against the epidemic.

As the epidemic continues to develop, the consumption of masks has increased significantly. Coupled with the delay in resumption of work after the holidays, the shortage of masks has become a common concern for enterprises and people. . The most well-known fact is that "each additional mask produced is an additional layer of safety protection for the people and medical staff." "Enterprises that have the conditions to switch to production and expand mask production" have become an important way to increase mask production capacity.

Snatching masks is also Wei Tingting’s “daily life” during the 2020 Spring Festival. On February 13, she was still worried about the “mask shortage” and received an emergency notice that “SAIC-GM-Wuling is going to cross-border production of masks.” ", which made her a little bit overwhelmed.

"From 'grabbing masks' to 'making masks', I didn't expect that automobile companies could change so quickly. "Wei Tingting said frankly, "I can participate in this work, and suddenly I have a sense of mission. ”

According to Shen Yunxiao, deputy general manager of SAIC-GM-Wuling, SAIC-GM-Wuling has given full play to its resource integration advantages of “big industry, big industry”. After successfully supporting suppliers to convert masks, it has further expanded its self-built production lines. Mask production capacity.

“The company scrambled for time, equipment, and raw materials, and linked up with dealers and supplier partners across the country to quickly complete the transformation of the dust-free workshop and the debugging of the production line, and assisted local suppliers in converting to dust-free production. We used woven fabrics, melt-blown fabrics, nose bridge strips and other mask raw materials to build Guangxi's first fully automatic mask production line, opening up the entire medical mask industry chain. "Shen Yunxiao said.

Wearing blue work clothes and walking into the renovated mask production workshop for the first time, Wei Tingting was both excited and a little worried. "I know very little about masks. In such a short time Can I learn how to make a mask? What should I do if I delay my progress? "

After undergoing systematic training, her worries slowly disappeared. Watching the masks with Wuling logos coming off the assembly line one by one, she said: "Everyone works together and is active and serious. Among them, there was no time to think about anything else except refueling work. ”

What makes her proud is that on February 13, the first batch of masks produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling was shipped in batches. Currently, SAIC-GM-Wuling has a production capacity of 500,000 masks per day. It is expected to reach an average daily production capacity of 2 million pieces within this month.

According to reports, the "Wuling brand masks" are only given away, not sold, and part of them will be handed over to the Liuzhou Municipal Government for unified deployment to support the front line of epidemic prevention. The other part will be given to front-line strugglers in epidemic prevention, upstream and downstream industry chain partners and other partners.

“What the people need, we will make.” In fact, like SAIC-GM-Wuling, they have chosen to switch to mask production. There are still many car manufacturers.

On February 8, BYD officially announced that it quickly pooled its wisdom and resources to allocate resources to start the design and manufacturing of protective material production equipment, and assist in the production of masks and disinfectants. To meet the current urgent demand for protective materials

“Drawings are produced in 3 days, equipment is produced in 7 days, and products are produced in 10 days! "It is understood that the masks and disinfectant produced by BYD will be mass-produced and shipped around February 17 until the epidemic is alleviated and eliminated. The mask production capacity will reach 5 million/day and the disinfectant production capacity will reach 50,000 bottles/day by the end of February. < /p>

At the same time, GAC Group is also actively integrating and mobilizing resources to support the production of epidemic prevention materials in Guangzhou. Currently, GAC Group’s mask production line is undergoing final debugging and trial production, and is expected to achieve 1 million masks per day by the end of this month. Production.

Automobile companies have switched to producing anti-epidemic materials. Such hard-core anti-epidemic measures have won praise from many netizens: "Putting the interests of the country and the people first." position, this is the responsibility and responsibility that Chinese enterprises should have. ”

“When I heard it was a donation to the epidemic area, everyone started to take action.”

At present, the fight against the new coronavirus has entered the most critical stage, and a large amount of medical supplies are needed every day. In addition to masks and disinfectants, vehicles used for epidemic prevention such as negative pressure ambulances and fully enclosed transport vehicles for epidemic prevention materials are also in short supply.

In Beijing, 2,000 kilometers away from Wei Tingting, Qiu Yang, director of BAIC Changhe Marketing Center Group and Strategic Business Division, is also "racing" against the epidemic.

On the evening of January 30, Qiu Yang received an urgent task from BAIC Group and "immediately prepared 24 BAIC EV5 fully enclosed logistics transport vehicles to donate to the front line of epidemic prevention." On February 1, he received another notice that due to the special needs of the epidemic, vehicles must be equipped with ultraviolet disinfection lamps.

The workers are on vacation, it is difficult to procure raw materials, and the time to formulate a modification plan is tight. It is a huge challenge to complete the modification acceptance of the vehicle within a few days and deliver it in time.

To this end, Qiu Yang established five working groups at the same time to work collaboratively. "Modification, service, logistics, car body sticker production, and factory teams. Although the number of donated vehicles is not large, in order to deliver it as soon as possible, nearly 100 people are involved in the work." Qiu Yang said, "When I heard that it was donated to the epidemic area, everyone They are all moving.”

Zheng Xiquan, deputy director of BAIC Changhe Technology Center and EV5 project leader, revealed that medical-grade ultraviolet disinfection was determined without interfering with the original lines and meeting the technical requirements of the vehicle. Light installation plan.

After receiving the task, Chai Peng, an engineer from the electronic and electrical department of the BAIC Changhe Technology Center Project, together with two colleagues, came up with 5 versions of the design plan and finalized the required materials within one day. and technical details.

“Due to the epidemic, there was no way to communicate in person, so we communicated online through various methods such as phone calls and videos to determine the plan and rush for the modification of the prototype car.” Chai Peng said, “It was completed one day earlier. After modification, it can be delivered one day earlier."

He told reporters that in the past, such modification took at least half a month, but this time it only took three days. On February 5, the first modified EV5 prototype completed inspection and reached factory standards.

"Delivered in Wuhan!" "Delivered in Huanggang" "Delivered in Xiaogan!"... As of 1:20 pm on February 15, all 24 BAIC EV5 vehicles, used as fully enclosed transport vehicles for epidemic prevention materials, had arrived at designated hospitals. Qiu Yang's heart finally fell to the ground after seeing the messages constantly being delivered in the WeChat group.

Although vehicles have been transported to the front line to fight the epidemic, Qiu Yang has not relaxed. "Fighting the 'epidemic' means seizing time. Next, our service team will also provide 24-hour uninterrupted service to the front line."
