During the epidemic, besides donating money, what else did car companies do?

As the epidemic continues to spread, the number of confirmed and suspected cases continues to rise every day. This also makes the common people understand that the epidemic will not end anytime soon. Therefore, everyone has gone to pharmacies, supermarkets and other places to buy masks, disinfectant and other items in bulk to prepare for a protracted war. This has also resulted in various disinfectants, masks, goggles, etc. becoming in short supply across the country.

Although countries around the world are supporting China, Chinese overseas Chinese have also purchased a large number of masks and other materials to ship back to the country. The country has suspended work and attended classes, and everyone is not going out to try to reduce the use of masks.

According to my brother’s knowledge, my country’s mask production ranks first in the world, with a maximum daily output of more than 20 million. Assuming that one person uses two per day, there are 1.4 billion people in the country, and we only count 50 million frontline workers. The daily demand for masks is 100 million per day, so the production of masks and disinfectant products is urgent.

At present, the prevention and control of the new coronavirus epidemic has entered a critical period, and masks, goggles, etc. have become urgently needed protective materials. In order to alleviate the current situation, many companies have begun to remodel production lines and produce cross-border support for medical supplies. Among them, the performance of car companies is particularly outstanding, for example, SAIC's masks, BYD's disinfectant, and Shaanxi Auto's goggles

SAIC

SAIC-GM is the first to engage in "transformation" this time Wuling has joined forces with Guangxi Defu, a supplier of vehicle sound insulation cotton to companies, to jointly produce masks.

It is reported that polypropylene, the main raw material for the production of masks, is also one of the raw materials for the production of automobile sound insulation cotton. Therefore, Guangxi Defu Group has natural advantages in terms of raw material procurement channels and storage standards. Advantages, and SAIC-GM-Wuling also relied on its own accumulation in manufacturing and sales. The two hit it off, which can be said to be an innovative move in the automotive industry.

According to the project construction plan, the dust-free workshop will be renovated by Guangxi Construction Engineering Group. The dust-free workshop will be completed and put into use within this month. It will have 14 mask production lines, 4 of which are N95 mask production lines. 10 are general medical protective mask production lines, with a daily production volume expected to reach more than 1.7 million.

Shaanxi Automobile

In accordance with the spiritual requirements of the Shaanxi Provincial Government’s special meeting on epidemic prevention material procurement on February 6, Shaanxi Automobile took the initiative to undertake the production of goggles among epidemic prevention materials.

On the same day, Shaanxi Automobile immediately convened technology, process, production and other relevant departments to study and formulate plans, work separately on molds, injection molding and other process details, and implement the raw materials needed for production. Shaanxi Automobile fully carried forward the advantages of state-owned enterprises. Responsible for the mission, worked overtime and worked hard without complaint. In only 2 days, all preparations required for the production of goggles were completed, and goggle samples were successfully assembled, meeting the requirements for epidemic prevention use, with a daily assembly capacity of more than 3,000 pieces.

It is reported that at present, the first batch of 200,000 masks produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling joint suppliers has successfully rolled off the production line, and will also be uniformly deployed by superior departments.

Over the years of development of the automobile industry, this is the first time that an OEM has produced masks.

Car companies have switched to producing masks and other urgently needed supplies, which not only reflects the responsibility of conscientious companies, but also a perfect display of their own strength.

One thing you may not know is that the car factory itself actually has a dust-free workshop that meets the conditions for mask production.

Because of the four major processes of automobile production: stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly, the painting workshop has very high dust-free standards, so there is no problem in theory when it is used to make masks.

As for the technology of general masks, it is not difficult in theory for car companies that are more difficult to produce.

In addition to allowing us to see some domestic independent brands actually doing things for the country, this incident also allowed us to see new forces in the fight against the epidemic.

For those car companies that have stopped production, in theory, they only need to renovate the painting workshop, cooperate with relevant departments to obtain qualifications and purchase equipment, and they can quickly establish a mask production capacity of more than one million. This It is undoubtedly a reserve force in the fight against the epidemic.

If the epidemic really gets more serious, I think these reserve forces who have stopped production will stand up and contribute to the country and society.

How important is the automobile industry in our country? It is important that the total operating income accounts for nearly 10% of the GDP, and the number of employees accounts for one-sixth of the total employment in society.

This time, Shaanxi Automobile and SAIC took the lead in manufacturing masks, disinfectants, goggles and other materials that are currently in short supply in China. This is telling us that the key is that car companies can support GDP and employment. Time is also our backup force.

What have manufacturers different from Shaanxi Automobile and SAIC done?

Dongfeng

As a local automobile company in Hubei, Dongfeng still does not forget to play its political and social responsibilities, fully develops the spirit of responsibility that a state-owned enterprise should have, and actively cooperates with the government Good prevention and control.

On January 23, after Wuhan announced the suspension of all internal and external transportation channels, Dongfeng Motor made an emergency decision to donate RMB 10 million to the Wuhan Charity Federation to fight the new pneumonia epidemic. On January 26, Dongfeng Motor and its subsidiaries donated 26 million yuan to Hubei Province.

In addition, starting from January 24, public transportation and online taxi-hailing operations in Wuhan have been suspended. As soon as the news came out, more than 300 drivers from Dongfeng Travel, the online ride-hailing brand of Dongfeng Motor, were called up to set up an emergency fleet to provide transportation services for medical staff. Cheyou Toutiao learned from the relevant person in charge that as of February 5, 987 Dongfeng Travel online ride-hailing drivers had participated in the emergency fleet. Some citizens lamented: "These drivers are the most beautiful retrograde drivers."

Foton Auman

After the outbreak of the new coronavirus, in order to ensure the normal dispatch of anti-epidemic materials across the country, Foton Auman To this end, the "321 Flash Repair" service commitment is provided, with the fast service of "1 minute response, 2 hours arrival, 3 hours repair" to ensure customers have no worries during the entire transportation process.

On January 30, after the first batch of 200 tons of garlic transported by Auman truckers to Wuhan arrived, Zuo Shengtao, the representative of the second batch of trucks from Linyi Lanling to Wuhan, continued to deliver Shipping chili peppers from Wuhan area.

In order to ensure the smooth supply of materials ahead and ensure the efficient operation of vehicles, Auman specially arranged for engineers from Lanling’s local service and maintenance team to arrive at the loading site and conduct a comprehensive inspection of Master Zuo’s vehicle to ensure that the vehicle can be used. Transport supplies safely and have a worry-free journey to and from Wuhan.

At the same time, Foton Auman thought about what credit card friends thought and worried about card friends, and officially announced at 0:00 on February 2 that all users who applied for loans through Auman during the epidemic can apply for hibernation. (Delayed) repayment, if cardholders need it, they can contact the car dealer to apply for deferred repayment, so as not to affect their credit due to delayed repayment. This is a good start for the industry and allows cardholders to gain more happiness. feel.

FAW

During this special period, China FAW has always had a sense of responsibility to take the lead and care about the needs of the country and the people. It fights the epidemic to the best of its ability and devotes all its efforts to ensuring travel.

So far, China FAW and FAW-Volkswagen have donated 81 million yuan, and have established a special fund for epidemic prevention and control to help fight the epidemic. At the same time, on the basis of financial support, China FAW also leveraged its corporate advantages to organize a "special love fleet" through its subsidiary "FAW Travel" to provide safe and efficient travel services during the fight against the epidemic.

China FAW has always been concerned about the land of Jingchu, and will continue to pay attention to the epidemic in the future. It will continue to provide assistance with its branches, subsidiaries and partners, and fully devote itself to the fight against the epidemic until the epidemic prevention and control achieves a complete victory. !

There is no doubt that this is a meaningful wake-up call to face the unknown crisis in the future. Although we can’t even supply masks now, fortunately, there are such car companies telling us: It doesn’t matter. , and us.

It is said that the epidemic is a mirror that reflects evil spirits. The ugliness of greed and selfishness will be exposed in the most explicit form, but at the same time, the good things such as fraternity, dedication, and fearlessness will also be displayed in the most three-dimensional way.

I only hope that after the epidemic, our world will become a better place!
