R&D and manufacturing are the first, while car companies support the "front line"
It is worth mentioning that during the epidemic prevention and control in novel coronavirus, such a new term came into everyone's field of vision-negative pressure ambulance. As the "most expensive mask" to protect life, the biggest difference between negative pressure ambulance and ordinary ambulance is that it can realize "negative pressure isolation". This model can deal with new and sudden infectious diseases urgently, prevent the external environment from being polluted, prevent the epidemic from spreading further, and complete the safe isolation and transportation of patients with major infectious diseases. 65438+1On October 24th, the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued an urgent notice to a number of domestic car companies to urgently produce negative pressure ambulances.
Then the question comes: how to make a negative pressure ambulance? How long will it take? The normal production of a negative pressure ambulance goes through two steps: the production and modification of the basic vehicle (the chassis can be derived from different types and uses of vehicles with basic models of armored vehicles). According to the routine steps, it usually takes two weeks to make the basic car, while the modification of the negative pressure ambulance needs to go through many steps such as foam insulation treatment, wiring, interior installation, electrical and medical equipment installation, negative pressure facilities installation and so on, which also takes two weeks. Under the premise of ensuring quality, shortening the construction period from 30 days to 10 days is undoubtedly a huge challenge for every enterprise.
Following the first donation of 26 million yuan, BAIC Group, in combination with its own resources, rushed to help again "accurately" and purchased 66 service vehicles in epidemic areas in conjunction with BAIC Futian and other 10 automobile units. Among them, 40 Futian Tuyano negative pressure ambulances will serve the epidemic areas as the main donated models.
In addition to the donation of 6.5438+million yuan, Chery Automobile also urgently deployed and resumed its work in the car factory on the first day of the New Year's Day to produce special negative pressure ambulance vehicles for ambulance. At present, these 20 cars are working overtime.
After receiving this "urgent notice", SAIC Max assigned this task to Wuxi Branch for production. In addition to producing 60 negative-pressure ambulances, on October 23rd, 65438/kloc-0, at the request of Wuhan transportation department, Wuhan set up a volunteer convoy for epidemic prevention and control. The first convoy consisted of 100 MAXUS? G 10, which helped Wuhan fight the epidemic.
In addition, Brilliance Group immediately convened an emergency production coordination meeting after receiving the negative pressure ambulance manufacturing task arranged by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and set itself the goal of "30 ambulances in 20 days". At present, engineers and employees on the production line are racing against time.
In addition, the negative pressure ambulance reflects the manufacturing ability of car companies; A few days ago, Geely decided to invest 370 million yuan to start the research and development of "all-round health car" with anti-virus function. "All-round health car" is a consumer-grade product mainly for ordinary consumers. We will focus on breaking through the virus prevention function and technology in the car, effectively inhibit and reduce the harm of the virus to the human body, and the air conditioning system, handle and button in the car will also have the ability of bacteriostasis or surface sterilization. This not only means adding a new evaluation dimension for driving safety, but also leads the new development direction in the field of automobile research and development.
A number of car companies have launched travel services, and when "sending charcoal in the snow" is going on,
Accelerating the production of negative pressure ambulances is a hard power, so the travel guarantee organized by car companies is a "soft power" in this war.
Dongfeng motor is in the main battlefield against epidemic. In addition to the huge donation, it was also ordered to set up a 1 0,000 Dongfeng Travel Support Team to serve the community residents and provide emergency services such as door-to-door food delivery, medicine delivery and food delivery. Dongfeng Travel also set up a "Pioneer Team of Dongfeng Travel Employees" composed of 50 employees in China to ensure targeted community services. In addition, in order to do a good job in epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, Dongfeng Travel, a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor, set up an epidemic emergency team on June 5438+1October 2 1 to start emergency plans for its network car, taxi and time-sharing business.
At the same time, on October 28th, 65438 10, the European Brigade under the Great Wall set up the "European Brigade Emergency Support Team", which was on standby 24 hours a day to provide necessary transportation services for medical staff and headquarters, such as personnel transfer and transportation of medical materials.
Cao Cao Travel, a subsidiary of Geely Automobile, has also set up a fleet to provide free travel services for residents who need to go out. In addition, Geely brand under Geely Holding Group will donate 50 MPV models Geely Jiaji to Wuhan COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters for unified transportation and deployment by local epidemic prevention and control departments.
In addition, many car companies have launched "warm heart service" for users' travel. For example, Great Wall Motor has launched "Five Guarantees for Worry-Free Cars" and "Five Hearts Care Action" for users in epidemic prevention and control. Changan Auchan launched 7X24 online services, including online car selection, car purchase, car use and car repair. Dongfeng Da Yue Kia launched the "Three Commitments, Nine Actions" initiative. Volkswagen brand and Skoda brand quickly launched brand care activities. Dongfeng Nissan launched a special marketing campaign of "Peace of mind to the store" and so on.
At the same time, Internet companies are also trying to improve related services to improve the safety and efficiency between epidemics. Many scientific and technological travel platforms, such as T3 Travel, Dongfeng Travel, Chelian, Shouqi About Car, Caocao Travel, FAW Travel, and BAIC New Energy Light Travel, responded positively and successively set up emergency prevention and control support convoys.
Automobile evaluation
At present, no one is an island, and no one in China can stay out of it. With the concerted efforts of the whole society and Qi Xin, we are sure to tide over the difficulties. Judging from the actions of auto companies, although the auto industry has entered the most difficult period, it is worthy of recognition in the eyes of consumers that major auto companies have stepped in to support the national epidemic prevention and control and made contributions to society. At the same time, after this epidemic, there will be more "cloud services" before and after automobile sales, and the automobile sales model and service model will be more diversified.
