An invisible "war" is sweeping the country, the automobile industry as a pillar of the national economy in this war "epidemic" performance can be said to have a significant impact on its actions have also been widely concerned by all sectors of society.
Relying on global resources, raise the shortage of materials
Yesterday, Chery Automobile in the international region to support the Wuhan epidemic emergency procurement of more than 30,000 N95, medical disposable masks arrived at home. In addition, according to the official introduction of Chery Automobile, they have raised medical supplies from more than 10 countries such as Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Argentina and other countries will arrive in China in the next few days to ship to the epidemic area.
This is another internationalization action of Chinese auto brands following SAIC's purchase of supplies from Australia directly to Wuhan hospitals, Geely Automobile's use of European organizations and shipment of 250,000 masks from Sweden to China, and BYD Automobile's coordination of its overseas branches and purchase of 1 million yuan worth of epidemic prevention and control supplies.
While supplies are running out at home, these car companies are already relying on their globalized systems to do their part to aid the epidemic in Wuhan. This has played a positive role for China's auto industry, where a globalized layout and a stable and strong back-up can resist all kinds of risks at critical moments. SAIC passenger cars, Chery Automobile, Geely Automobile, BYD Automobile and other Chinese brands to the world, the group layout of the global industrial chain and logistics chain, directly into a high-speed operation of the "war epidemic chain".
"Industrial chain" into a "war epidemic chain"
BoFan said the car combed through the information and found that, up to now, Chery International team *** counted the procurement of N95 protective masks 56060 vice; Disposable medical mask 55800 vice; jumpsuit 1200 sets; disposable surgical gown 11000 sets; outdoor forehead thermometer 1000 sets; anti-fog goggles 5000 vice; medical sterile gloves 10000 vice.
Since most domestic logistics companies are unable to deliver goods during the Chinese New Year, Chery's partners in Brazil packaged the medical supplies overnight, and then Chery's staff brought them back to China directly on international flights.
Shanghai Automobile Group, using its industrial chain in Australia, shipped 2.38 tons of masks to Wuhan on January 31, and today prepared 40,000 sets of protective suits for shipment to Wuhan hospitals. BYD Auto has been mobilizing masks from overseas markets at the fastest speed to reinforce medical personnel as well as service workers and volunteers on the front line of the epidemic.
Geely Automobile, in collaboration with its overseas subsidiaries, fully utilized the advantages of efficient and convenient agencies around the world to raise funds to purchase medical supplies urgently needed for the prevention and control of the epidemic in Sweden and other countries and regions, and to support the serious areas of the epidemic in China.
It has never occurred to me that a Chinese auto brand "going out" would be able to maximize its value in such a critical situation. This just goes to show how important it is for Chinese automakers to have stable and strong support overseas.
BoFan point of view
In fact, since the occurrence of this new coronary virus epidemic, there are constantly car companies involved in the reinforcement of the epidemic in Wuhan (see BoFan said the car for the victory over the new type of pneumonia "full throttle", the automotive industry donations to break the 1 billion in the near future "). To know the current car market, many car companies are under tremendous pressure: China's auto market has just experienced an unprecedented 18 consecutive months of decline, the annual sales decline of 8.2% in 2019. But even if it is difficult, but also to fight the first battle against the epidemic is the car companies reached **** knowledge, but also let us see more corporate responsibility and commitment.
"Epidemic is the order, prevention and control is the responsibility." This is the most heard words from the car people. Whether it's sticking to the front line at home, or urgently mobilizing all the available supplies abroad, the positive energy shown by Chinese automobile people has given the community great confidence, and is worth praising and applauding.
