No one can stay away from the epidemic. As a national pillar industry, the automotive industry's every move in the midst of the epidemic will be the center of attention.
In the early days of the epidemic, the generosity of car companies to support the prevention and control of the epidemic has already made the people of the country feel the warmth of the automotive industry. And just recently, car companies actively integrate their own resources to switch to the production of masks news, once again let us see the automotive industry in order to resume production as soon as possible to restore the normal order of society's responsibility and commitment.
We first look at a group of car companies dynamic:
February 6, @ SAIC General Motors Wuling? The official micro-signal released a message that: will be joint suppliers through the alteration of the production line way to switch to the production of masks. Dust-free workshop by Guangxi Construction Group is responsible for the reconstruction, will be completed and put into use in this month, *** set 14 mask production line, including 4 N95 mask production line, 10 general medical protection mask production line, daily output is expected to reach more than 1.7 million.
On February 8, @ BYD? The official micro-signal released a message: Previously, BYD donated 10 million yuan, and additional donations of more than 1 million yuan of emergency medical supplies; at this moment, the war "epidemic" does not stop, masks and disinfectant is expected to be around February 17th mass production and shipments (mask production capacity at the end of this month up to 5 million / day, disinfectant production capacity of 50,000 bottles / day) until the epidemic is alleviated and eliminated.
On the same day, @Guangzhou Automobile Group? also released a message through the official micro-signal said: February 6, Guangzhou Automobile Group party secretary, Chairman Zeng Qinghong and his entourage went to Dongguan mask production equipment manufacturers fast Yuda research, to understand the mask production equipment manufacturing, assembly and commissioning technology, to study the technical feasibility of a new production line of masks. In order to grasp the protective mask production equipment molding, welding and mechanical, electrical and other related technologies and production processes, February 7, GAC Components Technology Center has sent a number of party members to participate in a 15-day study of Fast Yuda.
While GAC has not disclosed the output of the mask, but according to the person in charge, two or three days out of a mask production equipment, a device less than 200,000 yuan, how much daily production "ultimately look at the demand and Guangzhou City requirements, to increase very easily".
In this way, the current three car companies to join, optimistically estimated that the daily production capacity of masks can provide at least 10 million.
And now the date of resumption of work around the world is approaching, as a labor-intensive industry, the car company's own use is also a problem that needs to be urgently resolved. We first take the three car companies to turn production masks. Public data show that the current SAIC-GM-Wuling employees 25,000 people, Guangzhou Automobile Group 110,000 people, BYD 220,000 people, the cumulative total of 355,000 people.
Assuming that these people resume production, the need for 2 masks a day, every day their own consumption is also in the 720,000. Placed in the entire automotive industry, the loss of masks is destined to be a huge expenditure, which for the belt-tightening car companies, not to actively carry out the production of self-help, undoubtedly more than one production costs of the examination question.
Today, the mask has been the national attention of the hard currency, was assigned to the rationing of strategic materials for management, the need to make reservations and limited purchase. Along with this is the mask prices crazy, global shortages, fraudulent micro-merchants rampant, market supervision departments around the world are also cracking down on fake and shoddy masks. So just how many masks does China produce every day?
According to data from the Social Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission: as of February 3, only 14.806 million were produced every day. Among them, the most in short supply of N95 masks daily production of 116,000, other medical masks daily production of 9.98 million.
So how big is the gap? Some analysts believe that the national daily demand for masks is about 150 million, the initial calculation, the gap is as high as 90% - 135 million.
With the mask companies are resuming work one after another, as well as the succession of industries to join, the capacity problem is believed to be gradually alleviated; and lead to N95 masks in short supply, there is a more direct reason - 7-14 days of disinfection waiting cycle.
This is due to medical masks using ethylene oxide sterilization, sterilization, masks will have ethylene oxide residue, not only stimulate the respiratory tract, there are carcinogens. In this way, it is necessary to parse the way, so that the residual ethylene oxide release, to meet the safety content standards, after testing and passing, before the factory can be marketed. And the time to parse is 7-14 days.
That is to say, you can now buy N95 masks, may still be the beginning of the second year of production. And as the epidemic continues to spread, the response to the epidemic prevention supplies are still insufficient, not to mention the market retail, so the masks will still be in short supply in a short period of time.
Happily, recently, not only the automotive industry to produce masks, these days, Foxconn, Daddy Baby (diaper companies), three gun underwear, Mercury Home Textiles, and Asustek (OEM companies), and many other companies in various industries are rumored to switch to the production of masks of the news.
Red Dot Watch:
How to resume production in front of the epidemic? Is placed in front of all the car companies a test additional questions, can not break the problem is the key to the car companies advanced. As long as the idea is not slippery slope, the way is always more than difficult. Car enterprises to the production of masks, on the one hand, both to meet the needs of their own resumption of production, on the other hand, can also be supplied to the market, for the country to share the burden.
It is true that, relative to the daily demand of 150 million usage, the current SAIC-GM-Wuling, GAC Group, BYD together but 10 million production capacity, at first glance, some of the drop in the bucket, but in the face of the epidemic, we can feel is a group of people working together, the car companies are brave enough to assume the social responsibility of the bearer. From this point of view, the car companies to produce masks on this matter, are worth manual praise!
