Italy is a gathering place for super-runners. In order to ensure the health and safety of employees and reduce the risk of spreading infection, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other super-running brands have urgently announced the suspension notice.
On March 12, local time in Italy, Lamborghini Automobile issued a statement saying that it would temporarily close the Italian factory and expected to resume work on March 25th. Lamborghini's manufacturing plant is located in the northern Italian city of Bologna, close to the current European epidemic center, and it is also the only production plant of Lamborghini.
In an extraordinary period, Lamborghini's announcement of suspension of work was really helpless. Lamborghini, in particular, has been selling well recently, and it is necessary to race against time to make production and delivery in an orderly manner.
Review Lamborghini 20 19? Just set a historical sales record, * * * sold? 8,205? A new car, than? 20 18? Have you grown up these years? 43%。 Among these new cars, Bull SUV Urus sold 4962 vehicles, accounting for 60% of Canadian sales, Huracans sold 2 139 vehicles, and the flagship sports car Aventadors sold 1, 104 vehicles.
Due to the shutdown of the factory, the production and delivery of Lamborghini Urus, Huracans, Aventadors and other models will also be affected. Lamborghini CEO Stefano? Domenicali said: "We are in a special state at present, and the temporary closure of the factory will benefit more people's health. We will also pay close attention to the development of the epidemic and work closely with employees to resume production at the right time. "
It is worth noting that on March 14, Bull's competitor, prancing horse Ferrari, said that due to the widespread spread of COVID-19 epidemic in the local area, Ferrari would suspend production at its factories in Maranello and Modena until March 27th. ? According to informed sources, the company will continue to pay salaries to about 4,000 employees in the Italian headquarters.
Ferrari said that before that, they had been ensuring the continuity of production, and all the health protection measures stipulated by the Italian government were implemented in the company's factories in Maranello and Mondena. In addition, the company also said that they "are currently experiencing the first serious supply chain interruption, which makes it impossible for them to continue production".
Among them, Brembo, one of Ferrari's top brake system manufacturers, said on March 13 that the company would close its four factories in Italy this week.
In addition, other suppliers around the world are also facing the situation of stopping work or slowing down the production pace. Therefore, whether the supply chain can be stable is also an important part of whether the major OEMs can return to work normally.
Camilleri, CEO of Ferrari, said that after the factory resumed production, Ferrari would "restart quickly". However, the closure of the factory will still have some impact. In the "hand-made" low-yield production environment, every second is very important, and the loss of two weeks will be irreparable. According to the current epidemic situation in Italy, it is still a question mark whether it can resume work in two weeks.
Looking back on Ferrari's sales in 20 19, we have also achieved impressive results. In 20 19, Ferrari's global sales volume was 1 0/31car, which was the first time in Ferrari's history that the delivery of new cars exceeded110,000 cars. This figure is 10% higher than 925 1 set in 20 18.
In terms of specific regions, Europe, the Middle East, China and America are the regions with the largest sales volume of Ferrari. In 20 19, Ferrari delivered 836 new cars in China (including Hongkong, China and Taiwan Province Province, China), up 20% year-on-year, accounting for about 8% of the total global shipments.
In addition, on March 1 1 day, local time in Italy, Fiat Chrysler (hereinafter referred to as FCA) announced that some factories in Italy would stop production and slow down production. A spokesman for FCA said that Pomili's factories in Nodal, melfi, Artesa and Casino will be partially shut down.
Pirelli, a tire manufacturer, said it was located in Settimo, near Turin, after one of its workers tested positive for COVID-19 virus. The factory in Turin will reduce production.
Write it at the end
Lamborghini and Ferrari stopped production one after another, which is the second time that a large super-running factory stopped production after the 20 12 Italian earthquake. COVID-19 epidemic swept the world, which brought severe challenges to the world economy. Although the top super-runners have stopped working one after another, I believe that as long as people all over the world are prepared to fight the epidemic, we will certainly be able to beat the epidemic before the vouchers expire.
