As one of the world's three largest automobile producers, Japan suffered a great impact after the outbreak of the epidemic. The total output of eight Japanese car companies in February was only 6.5438+0.87 million, which was 654.38+0.5% lower than that in 2065.438+09, and the sales in March further decreased. The familiar Toyota also suspended the production of seven production lines in five domestic factories on the 3rd. In addition, because Toyota announced that it would cut production, Toyota Textile, a component company, followed Toyota's footsteps. On the same day, it announced that it would stop the production of car seats and interiors, which was almost the rhythm of overall production suspension. Because of the decline in spare parts supply, the number of car buyers worldwide has dropped sharply. Eight Japanese car companies, including Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki, Subaru and Mitsubishi, announced that they would stop domestic car production, which was a heavy blow to Japanese cars.
In addition to Japanese car companies, the global auto industry has also begun to suspend operations. The three major American automakers also decided to suspend the closure of their North American factories in March. Volkswagen, the largest automobile manufacturer in Europe, has also joined the trend of production suspension, and BMW has also announced that it will close all its production plants in Europe and South Africa. It is expected that production will be suspended for four weeks to mid-April. It can be said that the cause of this epidemic, almost all familiar car manufacturers have closed their factories and stopped production, and the impact on global cars can be imagined.
Under the influence of this epidemic, everyone closed the factory and suspended production. Many people think it's only a few months, but it's not. According to the prediction of a well-known automobile analyst, this epidemic may cause the European automobile industry to regress for ten years, and it is predicted that the sales level of passenger cars in Western Europe will return to 20 19 in 2030. Because the global automobile industry has entered the stage of suspension of production, the automobile sales in 2020 will drop sharply, even falling back to the sales level of decades ago, and the impact of this suspension will continue to expand, not only until 2020, but also in the future. Because people have no money in their pockets, the consumption structure will also change. Only when the most basic requirements are met will they consider the car as a higher-level product.
According to the analysis of American market data organization, this year will be a year of rapid decline in American automobile sales. It is estimated that the overall sales volume will be lowered by 300,000 vehicles to 654,338+065,000 vehicles, which is probably the lowest level of American automobile sales since 2065,438+04.
However, although the epidemic has affected the overall sales of automobiles, most enterprises remain optimistic. They generally believe that there is hope for economic recovery as long as the epidemic can pass as soon as possible. Many well-known car companies have not been idle during this period of production suspension. Overseas car companies such as Volkswagen, Toyota and Ford have begun to plan and manufacture medical supplies such as ventilators and masks. Ford also announced that it will cooperate with 3M to produce medical protection equipment.
Mitsubishi, a veteran domestic car company, has already started medical support, and donated two mask production lines to Changsha Red Cross in March. While an enterprise in Guangzhou purchases mitsubishi electric, an efficient production line can produce 1000 masks in one minute, which is called "world speed". In addition, Mitsubishi also donated a number of vehicles and materials to help the hospital transport materials to the outside world. Although the automobile industry has stopped, car companies with social conscience are still using their own technology and influence to help the epidemic pass as soon as possible.
