A few days ago, Chang'an Automobile released a new message "Chang'an Automobile aid production masks, help win the 'epidemic war'!". . This is following BYD, SAIC-GM-Wuling, GAC Group, etc., and announced another "cross-border" mask-making car companies.
At present, although the epidemic has been curbed to a certain extent, but with enterprises around the successive start-up, the original mainly for medical and life protection masks capacity is once again stretched to the limit. In this case, BYD, Wuling, Guangzhou Automobile and other car companies have been put into the "help" team, and now add Changan Automobile - Changan Automobile gathered resources, decided to build their own masks until the end of the epidemic.

How many gap masks are there in the country now?
The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said that as of February 11, the national capacity utilization rate of masks has reached 94%. Among them, especially the first line of defense against the much-needed medical N95 mask has reached 128%; and medical non-N95 masks of the national capacity utilization rate reached 106%. For example, the daily output in Hubei, a concentrated area of the epidemic, has increased to 158,000 from 45,000 on February 2nd.
And in the author's opinion, even if the national mask production capacity can reach 100% - according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology data: China's mask production capacity of about 20 million per day (of which the medical surgical mask production capacity of 2.2 million, while the medical N95 mask production capacity of only about 600,000), but due to human resources, transportation, raw materials, facilities and equipment, policies and other factors, its actual production capacity is still limited, not enough to meet market demand.
And according to the current situation, the epidemic has almost reached the whole country. How many people in our country? It has exceeded 1.4 billion! Even if each person one, how much time will it take to prepare? The actual situation is far from optimistic, because the masks should not be reused, people in the purchase of more is to hold "buy some spare" idea. And in the epidemic-hit areas, especially the "war epidemic" front line, but also at any time in the replacement. Therefore, it seems that the existing capacity is far from enough.
Some people say there is still stock?
From the current situation, due to the epidemic came suddenly, masks have an expiration date (GB2890-2009 anti-virus masks are generally valid for 3 years) and other factors, the number of masks in stock is bound to be limited; secondly, due to the Chinese New Year holiday, a sudden increase in demand, the overall deployment of the region according to the objective reasons such as the sequence, coupled with masks should not be reused (strictly speaking), the N95 masks use time is not enough, the N95 masks use time is not enough. Strictly speaking, N95 masks can not be used for more than 4 hours at a time) and other "subjective" factors, there is now "a cover is difficult to find" phenomenon is not difficult to understand.
Some people say that you can still buy them from abroad.
Data show that China has as many as 16,594 masks and respiratory protection-related companies, and is the world's largest producer and exporter of masks, with annual production accounting for 50 percent of the world. In addition, the current epidemic in foreign countries have appeared, everyone on the mask and other medical substances have begun to "save for a rainy day". Therefore, the number of masks purchased from abroad is also limited.
So, as the National Development and Reform Commission on February 11, the relevant person in charge of the hope that the "conditions of the enterprise can actively implement technological transformation, conversion, production expansion". Therefore, Changan Automobile's this "aid production" can also be said to be actively responding to the call of the state, the courage to pick up the state-owned enterprises, large enterprises to bear the production line for technological transformation, from the "car" to the production "mask-making "

"Transfer production" mask, how about their respective capabilities?
In the author's impression, the epidemic, BYD should be the first to propose the manufacture of masks car companies. In fact, BYD has a complete industrial system in addition to building cars. Therefore, it is not a particularly difficult thing for BYD to cross the border to build masks. Moreover, when BYD decided to make masks, but also set up a "military order" - 3 days to design drawings, 1 week to design equipment, 10 days out of the product. It is reported that since February 8, "making masks" since, to February 17 around the realization of mass production. Moreover, by the end of February, the number of "BYD" brand masks that can be produced every day will reach 5 million.
And the first mask production equipment of GAC Group also started installation and debugging on February 11, and it is expected that the installation of 12 sets of equipment will be completed on February 22, and the number will reach 30 sets by the end of February, some of which will be used in the production system of GAC Group, and some of which will be supplied to other enterprises in Guangzhou City. If all these equipments are put into production, the output can reach 1.8 million per day.
While SAIC-GM-Wuling is not the first car company to "build masks", it is the first automobile company to obtain a medical device license and pass the professional inspection, and has the qualification of mask research and development, production and operation. At present, Wuling **** built 14 mask production lines, of which 4 for the N95 mask, 10 for general medical protection mask production line, all put into production, the daily output is expected to reach more than 1.7 million. The first batch of 1 million "Wuling" brand masks as early as February 13th has been offline. From the idea to the product line in just three days, once again refreshing the "Wuling speed".
Written in the end: With more and more car companies, China Petroleum, garment factories and other areas of enterprises have to get involved in the production of masks, protective clothing and other medical materials, whether there should be an overall control mechanism to prevent overcapacity? After all, the epidemic is only temporary.
