In the retrograde epidemic area, Jiangling ambulance was praised by the State Council manually.

Zhao Fangcheng, general manager of the brand division of jiangling motors Sales Co., Ltd., remembers working overtime as an ambulance in the early days of the epidemic.

Recently, a screenshot of a red-headed document exploded jiangling motors's circle of friends.

A closer look reveals that it was originally a thank-you letter signed "the State Council's reply to the medical material support group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of novel coronavirus epidemic". The letter wrote: "jiangling motors responded to the call of the state for the first time, continuously overloaded production during the critical period of epidemic prevention and control, successfully completed the production task of negative pressure ambulances, and made important contributions to winning the epidemic prevention and control war."

In order to understand the story behind jiangling motors's national recognition, Auto Watch interviewed Zhao Fangcheng, general manager of the brand division of jiangling motors Sales Co., Ltd. Zhao Fangcheng remembered his inner feelings when he first saw the thank-you letter: "The moment I opened the letter, my heart was full of pride. I realized that this was an affirmation from the country."

Eliminate all difficulties and resume production.

1 At the end of the year, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 broke out on a large scale all over the country, and the supply of negative pressure ambulances for the protection and treatment of special infectious diseases was in short supply. As a key vehicle manufacturer deployed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the largest medical rescue manufacturer in China, jiangling motors has become the target of all parties for help.

Zhao Fangcheng recalled that from June 22nd, 65438, the ambulance orders in jiangling motors began to grow wildly. Jiangling Motors Co., Ltd. and jiangling motors Group's modified car company responded quickly, contacted and cooperated urgently, and started material preparation and production scheduling simultaneously.

Unfortunately, due to the Spring Festival holiday, most employees have gone home on holiday. In order to get the manpower needed for production scheduling and delivery as soon as possible, on June 24, 65438, jiangling motors officially established an emergency duty contact system, started the emergency feedback mechanism for epidemic prevention and control, called on employees to return to their posts, and organized production and epidemic prevention work.

In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, Qiu, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Jiangling Group, personally went to the first-line workshop to visit the cadres and workers who gave up the Spring Festival holiday and issued the call of "being a good soldier in the current war", asking everyone to go all out to complete the ambulance delivery task with good quality and quantity while ensuring their own health. Under the leadership of the chairman, Party organizations at all levels in jiangling motors scrambled to write an overtime petition "I am party member, I will go first", and employees near the factory voluntarily gave up their vacations and returned to their posts.

During the epidemic, cities were blocked all over the country, and the flow of people was restricted. The supply chain of parts and components and logistics transportation were unsustainable. Fortunately, with the coordination of Jiangxi and Nanchang municipal governments and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the active communication between jiangling motors and suppliers, the difficulties were finally overcome.

Give someone a rose and leave a fragrance.

With intensive preparations, jiangling motors quickly resumed production. On the afternoon of February 1, the first batch of negative-pressure ambulances made in jiangling motors rushed to Wuhan by special train, and then nearly 5,000 vehicles were transported to all parts of the country, which was the earliest and largest among all car companies.

With the successful completion of the work, jiangling motors once again focused on the field of medical materials. Mask production is not his own specialty, so jiangling motors changed his mind and sent a "maintenance team" to solve equipment failures for more than 20 mask manufacturers and help restore normal production. At the same time, a special channel was opened to provide technical services for Jiangling's vehicles transporting medical materials by extending the warranty, remotely diagnosing faults and giving priority to rapid maintenance.

With the outbreak of the epidemic around the world, jiangling motors also extended a helping hand to overseas partners for the first time. For example, actively donate epidemic prevention materials to overseas distributors and cooperative enterprises such as Ford, Faurecia, Renault and Lear to share epidemic prevention experience; Donate ambulances to health institutions in Bolivia, Egypt, Panama, Myanmar and other countries.

Give someone a rose, and your hand will smell fragrant. Jiangling motors's every move has established its brand image of atmosphere and daring to assume social responsibilities. At the same time, Jiangling brand ambulances continued to sell well, which played a great role in promoting sales in jiangling motors.

According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first quarter, the domestic market sold 3.672 million vehicles, down 42.4% year-on-year, while in the first quarter, jiangling motors sold 45,000 vehicles, outperforming the industry market by 1 1.5%, and Jiangling Ford brand commercial vehicles achieved a year-on-year growth of 10.5438+0%. The performance of most car companies plummeted in the first quarter, and the profit of jiangling motors was 69 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 174%.

How was "The First Car of War and Epidemic" made?

"In 20 19, the market share of Jiangling Ambulances reached 67.7%. Other brands of ambulances generally do not exceed 10%. " Zhao Fangcheng said proudly.

It is understood that the negative pressure ambulances delivered during the epidemic period are mainly Ford Transit series, and other brand ambulance manufacturers purchase Jiangling Ford Transit series chassis vehicles for secondary modification. Because of this, Ford Transit series ambulances have won the reputation of "the first car in war and epidemic" in the society.

There are many light buses on the market. Why is Jiangling Ford Transit series so popular? Zhao Fangcheng explained that Ford Transit series has the advantages of reliable quality, superior performance and strong plasticity, and is the "ever-changing king kong" in the modified car industry. At present, there are more than 600 Ford Transit modified cars on the market to meet the customized needs of all walks of life, and ambulances are one of them.

According to Zhao Fangcheng, since 1965 rolled off the assembly line, Ford Transit series has sold more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, with 700,000 owners in China alone. Among the Ford Transit series currently on sale, the new generation Transit is the most representative one.

From the perspective of spatial layout, the new generation Transit * * * has released a variety of specifications such as short axis/long axis/extended axis, middle and low top/middle top/high top, and the seat adjustment is flexible and convenient, which can meet the needs of different vehicles. In addition, the new generation of fully compliant tailgate adopts the design of double-opening tailgate, which can be opened at 180 degrees to facilitate loading and unloading of goods. It is more convenient for medical equipment and ambulance personnel to get on and off when converted into ambulances.

In terms of safety and comfort, the new generation Transit also strives to move closer to luxury cars. It is equipped with rich active and passive safety configurations such as Bosch8.0 version 8.0, 8.0 ABS+EBD+ESP, double airbags and intelligent reversing radar. Considering the driver's convenience, the turning radius is controlled at about 2 meters.

Ford Transit Negative Pressure Ambulance, which went to the epidemic area this time, was divided into medical negative pressure cabin, disinfection cabin and observation cabin in strict accordance with epidemic prevention characteristics and rescue isolation requirements, and was equipped with rescue system, alarm system, electrical system, negative pressure system and other facilities. The independent isolation medical cabin can disinfect and filter the air exchange inside and outside the car, and the air conditioning fresh air system ensures that the air inlet and air outlet are independent of each other, which can not only effectively prevent the spread of virus, but also protect the health of medical staff in the car and fully meet the medical needs during the epidemic.

It is worth noting that jiangling motors also has rich experience in ambulance modification that other car companies can't match. It is understood that as early as 2003, during the SARS epidemic, jiangling motors quickly developed the first domestic SARS Ford Transit ambulance; On September 20 10, the negative pressure ambulance technology independently developed by jiangling motors won the national utility model patent of China, which changed the passive situation of negative pressure ambulance relying on imports; 20 13 Jiangling group refitted car company and the person in charge of R&D became the main drafters and drafters of the national ambulance industry standard respectively.

The superiority and professional experience of vehicle models show that jiangling motors's professionalism and speed in this epidemic can be traced, and the popularity of Jiangling brand ambulances is also reasonable.
