The "anti-epidemic" war on the travel battlefield

At two o'clock in the morning on January 23 (the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month), the Wuhan Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued "Notice No. 1", deciding that starting from 10 o'clock that day, the city's urban buses, subways, ferries, Long-distance passenger transport operations are suspended.

In order to control the further spread of the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus infection, the unprecedented "city closure order" is a helpless move, but it is also a necessary move.

In Wuhan, a very large city "divided into three towns by two rivers", convenient transportation allows people in every corner of the city to be closely connected, but it also brings the threat of virus transmission. Therefore, in this special period when epidemic prevention and control work is overwhelming, the travel field has become a key battlefield in the fight against the epidemic.

With all walks of life and all parts of the country rushing to support Wuhan’s epidemic prevention and control, safe and efficient travel guarantees have been regarded as the most valuable green channel, and automobile companies that actively donate money and materials have also been It is regarded as an important force to win this "war epidemic".

"Anyone who can go out to do volunteer work at this time is a hero"

For the more than 9 million people who stayed in Wuhan, after the suspension of public transportation and private cars, Emergency travel issues for medical workers, frontline workers in urban operations, and community residents are facing us.

To this end, the Wuhan Municipal Transportation Bureau organized and arranged 310 buses and 6,000 taxis (online taxis) to various communities in the central city to ensure the travel of medical personnel and front-line personnel in urban operations, and to provide Free services are provided for residents in the jurisdiction to travel.

The order to organize the vehicles of various travel companies in Wuhan to provide emergency services to community residents was issued at 1 o'clock in the night on January 25, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Gao Lizhong, general manager of Dongfeng Changxing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Travel"), told reporters that before the "city closure order" was implemented, relevant departments in Wuhan notified Didi Chuxing, T3 Travel, Dongfeng Travel, Shouyue Car Rental and Caocao Cars form a guaranteed fleet to ensure that at least 2,000 vehicles are put into operation every day.

According to him, when traveling to Dongfeng, it is necessary to ensure that 1,000 vehicles (including 700 online car-hailing vehicles and 300 taxis) provide travel guarantee services. For a "young company" that has only been established for one year and has only been online for 10 months, this is undoubtedly a huge test.

Fortunately, there is a "big tree" behind them for support.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Company"), headquartered in Wuhan, immediately activated the emergency mechanism and established an epidemic prevention and control headquarters, headed by the Party Committee Secretary, Director Chang Zhu Yanfeng and deputy party secretary and general manager Li Shaozhu served as commanders.

“Dongfeng was born in Hubei, grew and grew in Hubei. Protecting Wuhan and Hubei is also protecting the home of 140,000 Dongfeng people.” Zhu Yanfeng said that in the face of the sudden epidemic, Dongfeng Company attached great importance to it. On the one hand, We strive to protect and care for employees; on the other hand, we fully support and cooperate with the Hubei Province and Wuhan Municipal Government in prevention and control to help win this "war against the epidemic." "Dongfeng Company will ensure accurate information, steady actions, guard the door, manage people well, maintain a calm attitude, and be brave in taking responsibility."

Starting from New Year's Eve, the slogan "Prevent and control the epidemic? Convenience to the people? Serve the community" "Guarantee vehicles with slogans and the unified logo of DFGO set off one after another and drove to the 280 communities served by Dongfeng Mobility.

“This time, 1,159 communities in Wuhan City have been allocated to travel companies. We have contracted 280 communities, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of communities.” Gao Lizhong said that each The community is equipped with 4-5 vehicles, which are arranged by the community committee to provide free travel services to residents who are inconvenient to live in the community.

“In order to ensure the completion of the task, our party branch held a meeting to discuss and decided to set up an employee vanguard team to serve as community service volunteers.” Gao Lizhong admitted that he was actually facing a lot of pressure in his heart. "On the one hand, travel services are occupations that have more contact with people, so the risk of infection will be higher, and no one wants anything to happen to them; but on the other hand, everyone agrees that in the face of a sudden epidemic and people's urgent need to travel, Demand, we should rush to the front.

”

It is understood that Dongfeng Travel has prepared complete protective measures for every driver participating in community travel guarantee work. Each person has 2 N95 masks, 5 medical surgical masks per day, and equipped 84 disinfection

At the beginning, due to the real shortage of medical protective clothing, Tang Teng, deputy general manager of Dongfeng Strategic Planning Department and chairman of Dongfeng Travel, urgently contacted Dongfeng Passenger Cars, Dongfeng Renault, Shenlong Motors and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles. , nearly 2,000 sets of protective clothing were obtained from the paint shop. Later, with the supply of supplies, the drivers wore regular medical protective clothing.

As a person who grew up with the smell of engine oil. "A son of a car company," Liu Jiakang is no stranger to these protective clothing from the paint shop of the car factory.

"Since my grandfather came to Shiyan, three generations of our family have worked in Dongfeng. "As an online ride-hailing driver on the Dongfeng Travel platform, Liu Jiakang voluntarily signed up to join the "Dongfeng Travel Employee Vanguard Team", "I also hope that I can make some contribution to the company and my hometown. "

Before going out every day, Liu Jiakang wears a mask and protective clothing, and carefully disinfects the work vehicle. "When working, basically only the eyes are exposed from head to toe. He smiled and said, "The company's protection for us is quite good." ”

Now, he and his colleagues shuttle between communities and supermarkets, vegetable markets, and hospitals in Qiaokou District and Hanyang District of Wuhan every day. The original working hours were from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. , but due to "more monks and less rice", it is common to go out before dawn in the morning and go home for dinner after 8 o'clock in the evening.

If this sudden epidemic had not happened, this 28-year-old young man would have planned to do so. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I took my parents and girlfriend on a trip.

In the Qintai Community of Jianqiao Street, a resident left a message in the WeChat group to praise Liu Jiakang and other volunteers: "It is possible at this time. Anyone who goes out to do volunteer work is a hero. ”

“I was a little scared at first, but I gradually overcame the fear in my heart. "Liu Jiakang said that since both drivers and passengers were wearing masks, he still didn't know the faces of the "most familiar strangers" in these communities. "Do everything we should do at the moment, and don't care whether everyone will remember it or not. Live us. At least, I felt it was worth it when the residents got off the road to say goodbye. ”

“7 o’clock in the evening is like 3 o’clock in the morning in Wuhan, as if the pause button has been pressed. "In recent days, a short film lasting 2 minutes and 4 seconds has hit the screens on major social platforms. On the screen, countless familiar bridges and buildings appear in an empty state, looking a bit sad and lonely.

As an "old Wuhan", 41-year-old Zhang Shaohua has never seen such a quiet Wuhan.

As soon as Dongfeng Travel issued a call for emergency fleets, Zhang Shaohua and her husband signed up on New Year's Day. On her first day out of the car, she drove towards those familiar streets and couldn't hold back her tears for a moment. But when she saw the busy figures of her colleagues and community workers, she secretly wiped away her tears.

“It’s a lie to say I’m not scared or sad. But I believe that people's hearts are always kind, and being kind to each other can bring warmth to each other. As long as everyone works together, we can usher in victory. "Even if it's just a few words, Zhang Shaohua never forgets to cheer up himself and the people around him.

"In the face of the epidemic, no one has backed down. "She said that one day, those once extremely lively streets and lively alleys will press the "play button" again. "That is what Wuhan should look like in our eyes. ”

“I have to do this”

As the largest central enterprise in Hubei Province, Dongfeng Company made an emergency decision on the evening of January 23 to donate 10 million to the Wuhan Charity Federation. Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. subsequently donated 10 million yuan to Shiyan City and Xiangyang City respectively, and its subsidiaries Dongfeng Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Honda each donated 3 million yuan, bringing the total donation to 36 million yuan. .

In fact, geographical distance has not hindered the generosity of companies in the automotive industry.

According to reporter statistics, in order to help people trapped in the epidemic vortex tide over the difficulties, as of 19:30 on February 4, 74 auto industry companies in Japan have participated in donations, with a total donation of nearly 1 billion yuan in cash and materials.

“The epidemic in Wuhan affects the hearts of the people across the country, and epidemic prevention and control is urgent. China FAW resolutely implements the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council and fully supports Wuhan in fighting the epidemic.” January 27, the beginning of the Lunar New Year Third, China FAW Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China FAW"), together with its subsidiaries FAW-Volkswagen and FAW Toyota, donated 17 million yuan to support the prevention and control of the new coronavirus infection nationwide, especially in Wuhan.

Subsequently, China FAW and FAW-Volkswagen donated additional funds to 81 million yuan and established a special fund for epidemic prevention and control. So far, China FAW and FAW-Volkswagen’s cumulative donations have each reached 40 million yuan.

On the basis of financial support, China FAW will also give full play to its corporate advantages and fully devote itself to the fight against epidemic prevention and control.

It is understood that "FAW Travel", a subsidiary of China FAW, organized a "Special Caring Fleet". In accordance with the needs of Wuhan City, the love fleet will be uniformly dispatched to provide corresponding travel services for medical staff and citizens. At the same time, in cities covered by "FAW Travel" business, if traffic control measures are adopted due to epidemic prevention and control, "FAW Travel" will organize a "special love fleet", which will be dispatched and used by the local government.

“You can’t live without clothes, but you can wear the same robe as your son.” The person in charge of FAW Travel said that in order to ensure the travel of Wuhan residents and medical workers, all employees of FAW Travel Wuhan Company were on duty and issued a notice on New Year’s Eve. Notice on establishing emergency prevention and control support fleet. "Everyone has signed up enthusiastically. We have established the first batch of 55 emergency prevention and control support fleets and handed them over to relevant government departments and communities for unified dispatch. The second batch of 30 vehicles and drivers are also on standby at any time."

"Boss, my job is to be responsible for vehicle management, and my home is also close to the support point. I applied to take on the driver's logistical support work to ensure that the task is completed." After several requests, Song Wei of FAW Travel Wuhan Company finally "got his wish" On duty". Starting from the early morning of January 25, he took on the task of distributing supplies to team drivers.

“Every day I see the happy smiles of the hard-working drivers and masters on the front line when they receive supplies, that’s when I feel the most accomplished.” The 35-year-old Hubei man said firmly, “My hometown has suffered a terrible crisis. In this serious epidemic, I have to do this for my country, my family and my job.”

Working overtime to make “extra large N95 masks”

In this epidemic. In the "fighting war" of prevention and control, in addition to donating money and materials and organizing emergency fleets to provide travel protection, the Chinese automobile industry has also completed a lot of work.

Among them, in order to provide reliable negative pressure ambulances for front-line medical personnel, many car companies have worked overtime to produce and modify them.

Compared with ordinary ambulances, the biggest difference between negative pressure ambulances is that they can achieve "negative pressure isolation." Even if the air pressure in the cabin is lower than the outside atmospheric pressure, the wind direction is effectively diverted and the air in the cabin is circulated at all times to ensure the safety of doctors and patients to the greatest extent.

Since the new coronavirus can be transmitted at close range through droplet transmission, contact transmission and respiratory aerosol, during the transportation and transfer of patients, conventional ambulances have limited role and professional negative pressure rescue is required. Only vehicles can safely complete the isolation and transportation of infectious patients. Therefore, negative pressure ambulances are also known as the "armor" and "extra large N95 masks" for frontline medical workers fighting the epidemic.

“Almost all countries in the world do not use negative pressure ambulances to perform daily tasks.” Industry experts told reporters that the difficulty and cost of manufacturing negative pressure ambulances are much higher than ordinary ambulances. , “The current cost of a bicycle is generally more than 350,000 yuan.”

After receiving "special orders" from the front lines of the fight against the epidemic, companies such as Jiangling Ford, SAIC Maxus, Brilliance Automobile, Chery River and Yutong quickly organized employees to give up the Spring Festival holiday and restart production lines at full capacity. Full production.

According to reports, under normal circumstances, the production of a negative pressure ambulance requires two steps: base vehicle production and modification. The original construction period was as long as 30 days.

After the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued emergency tasks, the above-mentioned companies responded actively and organized employees to work overtime to ensure the delivery of qualified products as soon as possible.

On the morning of February 4, 10 ambulances arrived at Huoshenshan Hospital carrying novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia patients transferred from Wuchang Hospital, Hankou Hospital and other hospitals. It is worth noting that the 10 emergency ambulances performing this transfer task are all negative pressure ambulances.

The reporter checked the production plans of various companies and learned that by February 5, more than 100 negative pressure ambulances are expected to be successfully delivered for use.

Some people say that after the "city lockdown", only traffic police, cleaners, delivery boys and volunteers who provide community travel protection are left on the streets of Wuhan.

As city ferrymen who stick to their posts during special times, they work hard for the basic operation of the city. On the way to deliver a bag of rice, a basket of vegetables and a box of medicine, they also preserved a touch of winter warmth and a spark of life for millions of families.

Behind this, there are still 10 days to complete the construction of Huoshenshan Hospital, the miracle of working overtime to build a negative pressure ambulance in advance, and a steady stream of donations from all walks of life... All walks of life are struggling with the epidemic. race. In this "anti-epidemic" war on the travel battlefield, more and more people believe that things will get better day by day.
