The current epidemic prevention and control has entered a critical stage. All units are still facing a severe situation in resuming work and production. The shortage of masks and temperature measurement equipment has been has become the primary issue in prevention and control work. How to create a "fast, safe, zero-contact" temperature measurement mobile device has become a new need for epidemic prevention work. "Whatever the people need, Wuling will make it." SAIC-GM-Wuling quickly organized a team of experts to independently develop and produce it. Taking advantage of the characteristics of Baojun New Energy's short body, easy to start, stop and move, and innovatively equipped with intelligent AI detection and infrared temperature measurement systems, it has created a new generation of "epidemic prevention black technology" - intelligent mobile temperature measurement vehicle.
On February 20, SAIC-GM-Wuling officially delivered the first batch of intelligent mobile temperature measurement vehicles to the Liuzhou Municipal Government.
Through intelligent detection, the car can accurately identify faces, and can accurately measure the temperature of people moving continuously over a large area within a distance of two meters with an accuracy of ±0.2°C. After detecting individuals with fever, Through rapid data transmission without delay, objects can be locked in seconds and voice warnings can be issued.

In addition to conventional step-by-step filtration of dust, harmful gases, PM2.5 particles, etc., the filtration efficiency for dust particles with a particle size of 0.3 μm or above reaches more than 95%. The activated carbon chemical filter material effectively absorbs harmful gases such as formaldehyde and filters out pungent odors. and pollutants harmful to humans. It can quickly purify all types of influenza, viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold, etc., achieving "N95 mask-level" purification effects, which is equivalent to putting an "N95 mask" on a car.
