Apart from donating money, these practices are equally admirable.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus is raging. After several days of strict control, the epidemic situation is still complicated and severe. It is said that friends can see the truth in times of crisis. When medical supplies were in emergency in Wuhan epidemic area, it reflected the cohesion of the Chinese nation, and all walks of life were taking action for the "war epidemic", which fully reflected the spirit of China, and the automobile industry was no exception.

According to incomplete statistics, since the first donation of Dongfeng Motor on June 23, 2020, in less than two weeks, there have been more than 120 vehicle enterprises, refitting enterprises, parts suppliers, dealer groups, charging enterprises, logistics and travel enterprises, etc., which have contributed1200 million yuan to the fight against the epidemic.

It is worth noting that in the past two years, the automobile industry has been in a downward phase, with production and sales of 2572 1 10,000 vehicles and 25.769 million vehicles respectively, down by 7.5% and 8.2% year-on-year. Many enterprises are "tightening their belts", but in the face of novel coronavirus, major car companies are generous.

These donations are not simple donations, not just money, but also include car companies trying their best to use domestic and foreign channels to snap up medical supplies, including the day and night struggle of travel companies affiliated to car companies in the front line of Wuhan, including the tenacious production of negative pressure ambulances when the supply chain of car companies is basically interrupted during the Spring Festival holiday. When the country encounters difficulties, it is also the time when the social values of these enterprises are reflected.

Money and material help each other.

The first to bear the brunt is the native Hubei Dongfeng Group. Following the donation of100,000 yuan to Wuhan Charity Federation on 23 October, 65438+126 October, Dongfeng Motor Corporation announced an additional donation of 26 million yuan with its subordinate enterprises, with a cumulative donation of 36 million yuan.

Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd., Fuyao Group, Didi Chuxing and other auto parts manufacturing or service companies have also generously contributed.

It is worth mentioning that although Jaguar Land Rover is a luxury brand, its sales volume plummeted this year. Today, Jaguar Land Rover has fallen into a state of sluggish sales. When the epidemic struck, he still donated 8 million. In 20 19, Weilai Automobile became the most serious loss-making automobile manufacturer in China, and its founder Li Bin also became the "worst person in 20 19", and Weilai Automobile donated 5.3 million yuan. Even the recently difficult new special vehicles have tried their best to produce tens of thousands of sets of protective clothing materials. In addition, as a car company that can't be ignored in the field of new energy vehicles in the future, Evergrande has always been concerned, but in fact, Evergrande has not yet launched a model. In the end, Evergrande generously donated 200 million yuan.

Set up a special fund to continuously support epidemic prevention work.

As we all know, Li Shufu is a "philanthropist" in the automobile industry. Li Shufu has been committed to charity in China, and in this epidemic prevention war, Geely Automobile is also a real contribution.

Shortly after the outbreak, Geely Automobile announced the establishment of a new 200 million yuan pneumonia prevention and control special fund to support the hardest hit areas. The special fund will purchase urgently needed medical materials according to the actual needs of areas with serious epidemic situation in the country; Support the construction of temporary hospitals in epidemic areas; Provide necessary help and support for those who are fighting in the front line of fighting the epidemic. At the same time, support institutions such as China Center for Disease Control and Prevention to develop vaccines and cure drugs for new viruses such as novel coronavirus.

In addition, Geely Automobile also announced on February 4 that it will invest 370 million yuan in advance to start the research and development of "all-round health car" with virus prevention function. Geely Automobile said that the "all-round healthy car" is mainly aimed at ordinary consumers. This model can not only isolate harmful substances in the outside air, but also break through the virus prevention function and technology in the car, effectively inhibiting and reducing the harm of viruses to the human body.

On 65438+1October 3 1 day, Volvo Car (Asia Pacific) Investment Holding Co., Ltd. announced the establishment of a special fund to fight against novel coronavirus.

At the same time, Volvo Cars also donated100,000 yuan of medical emergency materials and equipment for epidemic prevention and control. Both donations will be provided by the special fund for epidemic prevention and control of Volvo Cars and Li Shufu Public Welfare Foundation.

In fact, the establishment of a special fund can scientifically plan the direction and pace of fund use according to the needs of the epidemic, and support the national epidemic prevention and control work in a sustainable way.

Aid swept the world.

During the outbreak, you can always see the information of protective materials from the front line and ask for help. Due to various reasons such as insufficient production capacity, there is a serious shortage of first-line protective masks and protective clothing. Many domestic car companies use the advantages of overseas layout to buy and raise masks and protective clothing around the world to support Wuhan.

65438+1At 5: 00 am on October 30th, 60,000 ***2.38 tons of masks raised by SAIC from overseas landed at Shanghai Pudong Airport on time. After receiving the mask, a green channel for emergency delivery of medical supplies was opened, and the mask was immediately sent to Wuhan. 65438+1October 3 1, SAIC delivered 40,000 sets of protective clothing from Sydney to Shanghai through its logistics company, and delivered them directly to local hospitals in Wuhan.

Geely Holding Group actively cooperates with overseas subsidiaries to purchase urgently needed medical materials in Sweden and other countries. The first batch of medical masks, totaling 250,000, has been sent from Sweden to China and will be used to support the epidemic areas. At the same time, Geely Automobile donated 50 MPV models Geely Jiaji to the Wuhan COVID-19 Prevention and Control Command, which was used by the Wuhan Prevention and Control Command.

Overtime production of negative pressure ambulance

The epidemic situation in many provinces and cities, including Wuhan, is critical, and negative pressure ambulance is one of the key materials needed to fight the epidemic. In order to support the prevention and control of the epidemic, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has given a number of car companies the production task of negative pressure ambulances.

On New Year's Eve, SAIC Chase received an urgent order from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to deliver 60 negative-pressure ambulances for treatment in COVID-19. After receiving the task, SAIC Chase officially resumed work on June 25th, 65438, and continued to work overtime to ensure the delivery on schedule before February 5th. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, production-related personnel of Brilliance Auto returned to their posts one after another, and production line engineers and employees worked overtime to ensure the production progress and the delivery of 10- 15 negative-pressure ambulance on February 5.

As the largest ambulance manufacturer in China, Jiangling Ford donated the existing 10 negative pressure ambulance to support Wuhan for the first time. Then, Jiangling Ford won more than 65,438+0,900 ambulance production orders. After several days of overtime, on the morning of February 3, the 18 Ford Transit negative pressure ambulance dispatched by Jiangling set off for Wuhan. Eight of them, together with two emergency rescue vehicles the day before yesterday, will be donated to the front line of Wuhan to fight the epidemic and contribute to the epidemic prevention and control in key epidemic areas.

Beiqi Foton actively resumed production, and the Tuyano negative pressure ambulance production workshop has all arrived ahead of schedule, with 100 workers fighting on the production line. At the construction site of Huoshenshan Hospital, hundreds of machines were started at the same time, and Beiqi Foton products such as Ou Man trucks and Reza pump trucks were impressively listed. At the same time, batches of Beiqi Futian Ou Man heavy trucks, full of epidemic prevention and control materials from all over the country, went to the front line of the epidemic and became "retrograde" in fighting the epidemic.

Tourism platform joins hands with "war epidemic"

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the bus system in Wuhan has been shut down one after another. In order to eliminate the worries of people in the front line of war and epidemic, it can be said that it is a timely help for medical staff and ordinary people to cooperate with "war and epidemic" to ensure basic transportation in epidemic areas.

65438+1On October 23rd, T3 announced the establishment of Wuhan Special Command to support the transportation of medical staff. Starting from1October 25th, 65438 Automobile Company will provide free vehicles for relief agencies all over the country. Didi Chuxing also set up a "medical security team" in the local area to provide free travel services for medical workers in various hospitals in Wuhan, and stood by at any time during the Spring Festival, and all expenses were borne by Didi.

65438+1On October 26th, according to the official WeChat content of Dongfeng Travel, Dongfeng Travel set up a community fleet consisting of 1000 vehicles (including 700 vehicles on the Internet and 300 taxis) to provide free services to the target community according to the requirements of the headquarters. 65438128, Great Wall Europe set up an emergency support team to fight the epidemic, and established instant communication channels with the transportation authorities and transportation management agencies. Drivers are on call 24 hours a day to provide transportation services for medical staff.

On October 30th, 65438+/KLOC-0, BAIC New Energy Light Brigade announced that it would provide free car service for front-line medical rescue workers and media workers involved in epidemic reporting in 20 major operating cities nationwide from now on, and provide service cars for medical rescue organizations and media workers who need cars for more than 1 month.

Cao Cao Travel (Wuhan), a travel service platform under Geely Holding Group, has also set up an emergency prevention and control support team to provide free travel services for residents in various communities in Wuhan. In addition, BYD's wholly-owned and joint-venture travel platforms, such as Wuhan Lvdong and Diya, call on hundreds of drivers and employees to support the front line, and form a community security team and a parade car volunteer emergency team to pick up and drop off medical staff to and from work to ensure emergency travel for the masses.

As a national pillar industry, the automobile industry has been experiencing the test of market decline in the past two years. Even though this sudden epidemic will make their production and operation face many uncertainties (most listed automobile companies suffered heavy losses and collectively plunged on the first trading day of A-shares after February 3), these timely assistance and donations also fully reflected the social responsibility of China automobile industry and showed the feelings of home and country that a wet industry should have.

In fact, the outbreak of the epidemic is not only the responsibility of an enterprise or an organization. Each of us can do a lot for the prevention and control of the epidemic. I hope everyone can pay attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic and don't ask for donations. I just hope that we can protect ourselves and our families and not let the epidemic deepen.
