On the occasion of the Lunar New Year in 2020, infectious pneumonia broke out in Wuhan and spread rapidly to novel coronavirus, which hit the whole country hard. In such an urgent and special period, the China Municipal People's Government and the China Health Organization have demonstrated the response speed and macro-control ability that a world power should have.
At present, fighting against novel coronavirus has become a top priority of the country, and people need to do personal protection. Enterprises are trying their best to help the "war epidemic" because enterprises have a more important mission and responsibility in the face of people's crisis.
After a series of actions such as setting up a special fund for epidemic prevention and control of 200 million yuan and donating cars, Geely Automobile announced a heavy news on February 4: investing 370 million yuan in advance to start the research and development of "all-round health car" with virus prevention function.
It can be seen that Geely Automobile attaches more importance to "driving safety" with the occurrence of this "epidemic", which also means that there will be new development directions and patterns in the current automobile research and development field. An Conghui, president of Geely Holding Group and president and CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said: Virus epidemic prevention is a work that needs the long-term efforts of the whole society. As a common means of transportation for consumers, cars are frequently used and have great mobility. On the basis of the "new four modernizations" development direction of electric, networked, intelligent and enjoyable automobiles, automobile enterprises should devote themselves to developing products that help protect the health of drivers and passengers. This will also be one of the key research and development directions for Geely Automobile's long-term investment and continuous investment.
Let's not talk about when this "all-around health car" can be mass-produced and how safe it can be. Only from the perspective of corporate response, it is enough to see that Geely's success is not accidental. It can find and propose solutions to the people's primary problems in the first place, and it has the responsibility and title of the country's heavy weapon.
Judging from the information disclosed at present, Geely's "all-round health car" is a consumer-grade product for ordinary consumers. In addition to the basic air particle filtering function, it will also focus on breaking through the anti-virus technology in the car. At the same time, all materials in the car will have a high degree of environmental protection, the ability to inhibit bacteria or surface sterilization, and achieve more practical "all-round health".
So far, there is no example of car companies mass-producing cars with virus prevention as the core. Geely's move undoubtedly provides a new perspective for automobile research and development, but the technical difficulties to be faced and the cross-disciplinary cooperation projects needed are also a long way to go. Therefore, it is also worth looking forward to how Geely Automobile can use the resources of the global system to seek cooperation with professional R&D institutions at home and abroad to carry out technology research and development.
The launch of the research and development of "all-round healthy car" marks the first time that Geely Automobile put forward the concept of "not only the active and passive safety of the car itself, but also the health and safety of the occupants in the car", which will be a brand-new milestone in the development of Geely Automobile in the field of health and safety products. Once Geely's "all-round healthy car" is officially put into the market, the evaluation standard of "in-car ecological environment" in the industry will usher in a new standard, and it will also be the first step for domestic cars to formulate standards in the industry.
Tips: Please try to stay at home during the epidemic. Please wear a protective mask when you go out. If you have a cough or fever, please see a doctor as soon as possible.
