To make matters worse, in Wuhan, the hardest hit area, many workers fighting in the front line can only use their own cotton masks, which shows how scarce masks are now.
In order to fundamentally solve the shortage of medical materials such as masks, many enterprises even began to produce masks across borders, including BYD.
A few days ago, BYD officially announced that it would "allocate resources, start the design and manufacture of protective materials production equipment, and assist in the production of masks and disinfectant to meet the urgent demand for protective materials at present". Moreover, BYD expects that masks and disinfectant will be mass-produced and shipped around February 17. By the end of February, the production capacity of masks reached 5 million/day, and the production capacity of disinfectant reached 50,000 bottles/day.
Is the mask made by BYD reliable?
A company that produces masks for automobiles, although with good intentions, cannot but make people worry. Is this reliable?
In fact, it is not difficult to produce masks. Just get the equipment, factory, qualification and raw materials right. Qualification used to be a very difficult thing, but now the government has opened a "green channel" for the qualification examination and approval of emergency materials, and BYD is also actively preparing for this matter, which is expected to be approved soon. On the contrary, the problem of equipment is actually more difficult to solve, but it is actually simpler for BYD.
It is understood that BYD's masks will be produced by BYD's ninth division. The company has its own factory, medical device system certification and stable upstream raw material resources, which easily solves several key problems. Therefore, BYD's mask making is not only reliable, but also has made great contributions to the whole society in the fight against the current epidemic.
BYD can do more than just masks.
What we know best about BYD is its passenger car business and power battery business. In the field of passenger cars, BYD is the leader of new energy vehicles in China, and its Dynasty series models have performed well in the market, such as Tang DM/EV and Song Pro? DM/EV, Yuan EV and other models, of course, the upcoming flagship car Han DM/EV is also highly anticipated by consumers. In the early years, F3, S6, now Song Pro and other fuel vehicles also achieved good sales results.
In the field of power batteries, BYD's installed capacity of power batteries is second only to contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd., far ahead of other enterprises. In addition, BYD recently released a new generation of lithium iron phosphate battery-"Blade Battery", which has an energy density 50% higher than that of traditional batteries, a battery life of more than one million kilometers, and a low cost, which has aroused widespread concern in the industry.
BYD, a huge business empire, involves many fields besides passenger cars and power batteries, such as commercial vehicles, mobile phone parts and assembly, urban rail transit and so on.
In the field of commercial vehicles, BYD's electric buses are well known, but in fact, in addition to buses, BYD also makes electric trucks, electric sanitation vehicles and electric forklifts. At the same time, BYD's electric buses are also exported overseas, and have won orders from many European countries, the United States, Australia, India, Japan and other countries, and have been well received.
In the field of mobile phone parts and assembly, BYD spun off mobile phone parts and modules, printed circuit board assembly and other businesses, and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2007. Its main customers include Samsung, Huawei, HTC, LG, TCL and other electronic product manufacturers. According to public data, BYD Electronics shipped about 200 million pieces of metal structural parts in 20 18, accounting for about one-third of the total shipments of Android metal mobile phones in the world, accounting for a considerable proportion of BYD's revenue.
In the field of urban rail transit, BYD's current products include cloud rail and cloud bus. Although BYD's track business is not making money at present, with the landing of the project, the prospect is relatively clear. At the beginning of this month, BYD successfully won the Sao Paulo rail transit 17 line project in Brazil, and just a month ago, BYD's overall design scheme for the cloud rail line in El Salvador, Brazil was approved. In addition, BYD's Yunba project also settled in Chongqing Bishan last year. There are indications that BYD's track business is on the right track.
Of course, BYD's business goes far beyond this. Photovoltaic, communication, finance and even construction engineering are all involved.
Write it at the end
1995, when Wang Chuanfu chose to give up a comfortable and stable life and start a business in the sea, perhaps he didn't even know that BYD would grow up to this day. From mobile phone batteries, to cars and power batteries, to today's rail transit and photovoltaic, BYD has built a magnificent business empire. BYD in China is becoming the BYD of the world.
