Hard-core anti-epidemic, epidemic prevention first, many epidemic travel problems are being slowly solved by car people!

Facing changes in the epidemic, car companies are constantly making various responses. As representatives of Chinese automobile brands, a series of measures taken by auto companies such as Geely Automobile, Guangzhou Automobile Group, SAIC, and BYD have attracted the attention of all sectors of society from the very beginning.

Whether it is in terms of anti-epidemic material support, epidemic prevention measures, and adjusted product and industrial development directions, they have all done what a Chinese brand enterprise should look like.

Hardcore Operations in Fighting the Epidemic

Donating money, donating materials, donating cars, these are the most direct anti-epidemic measures. Car companies have responded actively from the beginning, and they still have them until now. Many manufacturers are constantly expanding their donations. In addition to these donations, I really have to praise the car companies for their hard-core "transformation" during the fight against the epidemic.

SAIC-GM-Wuling-not only makes ordinary masks, but also N95. ?The joint suppliers switched to mask production by renovating production lines. According to the project construction plan, the dust-free workshop renovated by Guangxi Construction Engineering Group will be completed and put into use within this month. 14 mask production lines have been set up, of which 4 are N95 mask production lines and 10 are general medical protective mask production lines. The daily output is expected to reach more than 1.7 million pieces.

BYD - 5 million masks and 50,000 bottles of disinfectant every day? BYD officially announced that it will coordinate resources to design and manufacture protective material production equipment and assist in the production of masks and disinfectant. According to official disclosures, masks and disinfectant will be mass-produced and shipped after February 17 (the production capacity of masks can reach 5 million pieces/day and 50,000 bottles/day of disinfectant by the end of this month) until the epidemic is alleviated and eliminated.

GAC Group - Will it be able to complete the installation and commissioning of 30 mask production equipment by the end of the month? On the one hand, GAC Group is stepping up efforts to make its own equipment and at the same time sending technical forces to support Guangzhou's mask production. Through cooperation with suppliers, GAC Group plans to make 30 to 50 sets of self-made equipment. Some of these equipment will be used for GAC's own production, and some will be provided to other state-owned enterprises in Guangzhou for mask production.

Pioneering measures for epidemic prevention

After the outbreak, the air quality in cars has become the most concerning point for consumers. Many car companies have given their own response measures. Perhaps after the epidemic is over, the consumption rhythm will return to normal, and people's requirements when buying cars will be the air quality in the car.

Geely Automobile - "Car-mounted N95 mask" mass-produced car? Geely has developed the first domestic car-mounted air-conditioning filter element that truly uses "N95 type mask" as the filtration standard, and strives to complete the smart air purification within 20 days The system's research and development work has reached mass production standards and will be mass produced within 30 days. The first batch of products will be first equipped on 150 Jiaji vehicles donated by Geely Automobile to the epidemic area.

FAW Hongqi - new car air disinfectant? The first batch of "anti-virus car air disinfectant" has been distributed to some "T3 Travel" Hongqi vehicles in Changchun City for use. The disinfectant solution can be used with a humidifier to achieve cyclic atomization and directly disinfect the interior space of the vehicle. This method is more convenient and has a long-lasting effect than conventional disinfection methods. At the same time, the disinfectant was developed to avoid corrosiveness and will not damage in-car equipment such as seats.

SAIC Roewe, MG - three layers of protection. ① All its models are equipped with N95 standard high-efficiency vehicle air conditioning filters as standard. ② All models are equipped with a negative ion generator and an antibacterial and anti-allergic functional layer. Through the three steps of surrounding adsorption, structure destruction, and sterilization and purification, the negative ion generator can quickly reduce bacteria in the air within an hour, with a sterilization rate of more than 85%; antibacterial The anti-allergic functional layer has a 24-hour antibacterial rate of over 99%.

Achieve "N99 level" air quality, allowing users to enjoy a safe in-car environment. ③After-sales quality accessories and services for professional sterilization.

Didi - Installing isolation films in online car-hailing cars? Starting this week, Didi will successively install isolation films in online car-hailing cars in Wuhan, Dalian, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Harbin, Changzhi, Baoji, Jiangmen and other cities. Protective isolation films have been installed in the front and rear rows of the car. While the car is required to be ventilated frequently and disinfected regularly, and both drivers and passengers must wear masks, a layer of "transparent masks" are also put on in the online car-hailing car to implement multiple protections as much as possible.

Changes in terminal sales

The automobile industry is closely linked from production to sales. If one link is affected, there will be a series of chain reactions. Especially on the sales side, there will be more and more negative pressure on dealers. Fortunately, after Volvo took the lead, car companies have been reducing pressure on dealers and have also launched online sales models.

In recent times, online car viewing channels have been actively expanded and matching online customer resources has become a required course for 4S stores. Except for the final step of picking up the car, almost all previous steps can be carried out with the help of the Internet. In fact, this has already become a car sales trend that is considered every year. It’s just that dealers were more willing to rely on offline sales methods before, and purely online showrooms were rare.

On the contrary, it is a special period that has given rise to the development of online car sales, moving the car selling process online, and turning in-person car viewing into VR online car viewing. There are also 4S stores that use short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou to watch cars live online and answer questions raised by consumers. Some dealers also offer cars delivered to their doorsteps for one-on-one test drives.

In special times, it may be difficult to conduct test drives, but this model may become more popular among young consumers after a period of market verification.

For car companies, fighting the epidemic is definitely the top priority at the moment, and Chinese brand car companies have all rushed to the front in the face of this important task. After donating money and materials, they have also started hard-core transformation . At the terminal sales level, the development of online car sales spurred by the special period may indeed become a new sales model after being tested by the market.

Although the impact of the epidemic on the auto market is not small, we have also seen top-down response measures. It is only a matter of time before the auto market returns to normal.
