Automotive companies donate to fight the epidemic?
The year 2020 is an extraordinary year, there is no doubt that the new coronavirus epidemic is the first major difficulty in front of everyone at present, as of 19:00 on February 3, the cumulative total of 17,335 confirmed cases, 21,558 suspected cases, 2,296 cases of severe cases, 361 deaths, 494 people cured.
The small value here again reminds all value friends, in the epidemic period as far as possible to reduce out, if you have to go out, must remember to wear a mask, avoid the crowd.
Disasters are merciless, there is love on earth, as of now a large number of individuals and enterprises have extended a helping hand, which naturally there is no lack of car companies that we are familiar with. As we all know, 2019 is an extremely difficult year for car companies, but in the face of the epidemic, they still chose to contribute generously to the fight against the epidemic.
These car companies' donation funds are roughly used for three major purposes: first, to fund the purchase of medical supplies and related treatment work in Wuhan and other provinces and cities across the country where the epidemic is serious; second, for Wuhan and other provinces and cities where the current epidemic is more serious to provide the epidemic prevention and control command and epidemic prevention and emergency protection vehicle support; third, to reward outstanding contributions of health care personnel and families in need. "The third is to reward outstanding contributions to medical personnel and families in need of assistance.
And among the companies that made donations, none shone brighter than Dongfeng Motor Group and Jaguar Land Rover. Dongfeng Motor Group's performance throughout 2019 has not been colorful, but as a car company headquartered in Wuhan, it has put out a lot of manpower and material resources to fight the epidemic. It is understood that after donating 10 million yuan to the Wuhan Charity Federation on January 23, it brought its enterprises on January 26 and donated another 26 million yuan to Hubei to fight the epidemic.
On January 27, Dongfeng Xiaokang Automobile Co., Ltd. decided to donate vehicles such as Dongfeng Fengguang 580 and Dongfeng Fengguang ix7 to Hubei Charity Federation through Chongqing Charity Federation,*** with a total value of about 5 million yuan, which are mainly used for transportation of materials and transportation of medical personnel in Shiyan City to fight against the new coronavirus pneumonia. Up to now, the whole Dongfeng Motor Group*** has donated 41 million yuan.
As for Jaguar Land Rover, its sales performance in China in 2019 is even more dismal, but, on this occasion, it still donated 8 million yuan, of which it is expected to donate 5 million yuan to the Hubei Provincial Charity Federation, which is mainly used in Wuhan City and other areas of Hubei Province where the epidemic is serious, to purchase medical, medical, living and other materials urgently needed for prevention and control of the epidemic, as well as to provide physical and mental health protection for front-line medical personnel and medical and nursing volunteers who participate in the rescue.
The other 3 million yuan will be used to set up a special public welfare fund for the prevention and control of major epidemics in primary and secondary schools with the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation, focusing on three major areas: prevention and control of epidemics in primary and secondary schools, prevention and control of epidemics in primary and secondary schools, prevention and education of epidemics in primary and secondary schools, and psychological counseling of epidemics in primary and secondary schools, so as to further enhance the awareness and ability of prevention and control of epidemics. The company's website has been updated with the latest information about the company's website, including its website and its website.
Because of the limited space, other car companies donations and the use of small value will not be listed here, interested in the value of friends can refer to the chart above.
Tesla and Ningde Times officially joined hands
Previously, there have been rumors that Ningde Times will become Tesla's third battery supplier. And just last night (Feb. 2), Ningde Times officially released an announcement that it will start cooperation with Tesla. The announcement said that Ningde Times will provide lithium-ion power batteries to Tesla on July 1, 2020, and the supply agreement will last until June 30, 2022, and the specific supply quantity has not been disclosed.
Before this, there have been two suppliers of Model?3 batteries for domestic Tesla, one is Panasonic, the battery maker for imported Tesla cars, and the other is LG Chem. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), there are two different ranges for the domestic Model?3 standard range upgrade, one with a 455-kilometer working range and one with a 445-kilometer working range. It's uncertain whether Ningde Times will bring a third range to the domestic Model?3, so Little Value suggests that if you have any doubts about this and are buying a Model?3 produced after July 1, remember to proactively consult with a salesperson.
This shows that after Ningde Times officially became Tesla's third battery supplier, Tesla's parts localization rate has been further improved, and it is running towards the goal that "all parts of the domestic Model 3 will be localized by the end of the year". In addition, combined with the impact of the epidemic on the car market, as well as Tesla and the Shanghai municipal government's betting agreement to see, a small value of the judgment Model?3 still have a certain amount of space to reduce the price of the value of the friends are not in a hurry to buy a car can continue to wait and see.

BYD Han? Interior photo exposure
According to previous information, BYD Han will launch EV version and DM version, is expected to be listed in June this year. The new car body dimensions of 4980/1910/1495mm, wheelbase of 2920mm, positioning B + class sedan, that is, and the Grandeur, Asian Dragon a level.
Exterior, BYD Han's side lines are more fluent, and adopts a slippery back design style, with a strong sense of fashion. It's worth noting that BYD has adopted two different sets of front fascia styling for the EV and DM power options.
The DM version still follows the Dragon?Face design language, adopting a large mouth center mesh design similar to that of the BYD Qin, which is visually more atmospheric, while the EV version's front face adopts a fully closed front grille design, with a penetrating chrome trim connected to the headlight cluster, which is visually more aggressive and avant-garde.
Interior, the new car's interior has a high degree of similarity to the design draft previously exposed online. As BYD's flagship model, the brown leather inside the new car is complemented by black and silver panels, with a strong sense of technology and a sense of premium. The floating large-size center control screen and double-spoke steering wheel have a strong eye-catching effect.
Power, EV models will offer single-motor two-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive models, of which the single-motor model has a maximum power of 222 horsepower; dual-motor four-wheel drive models with front/rear motors have a maximum power of 222 horsepower and 272 horsepower, respectively; and the DM model is equipped with a 2.0T engine model BYD487ZQB with a maximum power of 192 horsepower. In this hybrid system, there is also a permanent magnet synchronous drive motor with a maximum power of 245 hp.
First of all, it is indisputable that BYD Han has a good face value. However, it should be noted that consumers in the purchase of this level of car, the brand's premium ability is a more critical factor, in this point, BYD is obviously not as good as Buick and Toyota. So, in my opinion, whether the BYD Han will end up being a volume product or simply a "flagship sedan" will depend on its pricing.
