Under the epidemic, these auto companies began to stop production one after another, and the most serious moment came.

According to the real-time data of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of the afternoon of 2 1 day, the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 exceeded 300,000, with a total of 30,3001case; The death toll in COVID-19 exceeded 10000, with a total of 12762.

As early as February, Yonhap News Agency announced that many Korean automakers would stop production in early February. In addition to the epidemic, the main reason is the "supply failure" of domestic parts manufacturers. For example, 87% of the wiring harnesses used in Korean automobile products are imported from China. When domestic production stagnated, the Korean automobile industry had to stop swinging.

While the domestic epidemic situation has gradually improved, Europe has become the center of the epidemic, and the epidemic situation in the United States has intensified. A tsunami-like epidemic swept across the world, and governments around the world issued shutdown orders one after another, which also caused many automobile companies to stop working.

At present, many automobile manufacturers are in a state of suspension of production.

According to statistics, at present, there are more than 100 automobile factories that have been shut down or are planned to shut down in the world. This is an unprecedented blow to the automobile industry. For such an industry, the loss caused by shutdown is far beyond imagination.

Lose 400 million a day! In fact, Beijing Benz's estimation of the loss of production suspension is not excessive. For a huge automobile enterprise, stopping production means the evaporation of production capacity, the stagnation of production line, a lot of losses and a lot of idle manpower. These are all bought with real money, and it is a great loss every day to leave them idle.

Under the epidemic situation, the whole automobile industry is facing an embarrassing situation. Automobile consulting agency J.D.? Power recently released a report that the retail sales of automobiles in the United States will shrink by 3 million vehicles this year, and the total sales volume may fall to the range of1400-160,000 vehicles. Prior to this, J.D. Power had predicted that the annual sales volume of American automobile market might be 6,543,800+0,680, but this goal could not be achieved in the epidemic situation. At the annual online meeting of Audi ag 20 19 held on March 17, Frank Witter (Frank? Witter) admits that it is very difficult and premature to predict the impact of the epidemic on sales at present, because it is impossible to know how long the epidemic will last and how much it will affect the macro-economy.

Recently, the domestic situation has gradually improved, and the automobile industry has gradually begun to return to work. Even some media have begun to predict that the domestic automobile industry is expected to achieve great development in 2020. However, this view is a bit too optimistic in the automobile industry.

Different from other closed industries, automobile is a relatively open and highly integrated industry. Although China has a relatively complete industrial base, it still relies heavily on foreign parts companies for some core parts, such as gearboxes, engines and even electronic controls. Domestic experts have a deep understanding of this. The suspension of production by European enterprises will inevitably affect the domestic vehicle industry.

On the other hand, domestic auto parts enterprises also have deep dependence on foreign vehicle manufacturers. It can be seen from the fact that the domestic epidemic has led to the suspension of production of parts companies and the suspension of production of Korean auto giants. On the other hand, foreign auto giants have stopped production, where do domestic auto parts companies export? This is bound to have a huge impact on the domestic automobile industry this year.

On March 20th, Cui Dongshu, Secretary General of the Association, told the reporter of 2 1 Century Business Herald that the epidemic caused the temporary suspension of automobile manufacturing in Europe and America, which would directly affect the export of some domestic parts enterprises. It can be said that this is the mainstream cognition of experts in the industry at present, and it is also a difficult problem in front of the entire domestic automobile industry.

The global industrial chain layout of the automobile industry determines that the automobile industry of any country or region needs to closely rely on the global market. Only when the global epidemic is over can the whole industry enter the normal order. At this time, what needs to be faced is another wave of impact brought about by the shrinking market.

In 20 19, domestic auto companies shouted that the cold winter was coming. Now it seems that 20 19 is really not a cold winter, and now the cold winter is really coming.
