War on the Epidemic!
The sudden and spreading epidemic
has made this Chinese New Year an extraordinary event
Whenever the number of people diagnosed rises
It's hard to believe that the year 2020 will be the year 2020
And when all walks of life come together
It's hard to believe that the year 2020 will be the year 2020 will be the year 2020 will be the year 2020. In 2020, it's really too warm
For all walks of life, the new year was supposed to be a time for each to show off their skills and make another mark, but they have all been halted in their tracks by the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia. As of 19:36 on February 1, 2020, there were 11,890 confirmed cases in China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), with 259 deaths and 268 cured, while there were 132 confirmed cases overseas.
The epidemic is still spreading, but all walks of life are in the "war epidemic" and action, fully embodies the "a party in trouble, eight parties to support" the spirit of China, and the automotive industry is no exception. For the car market has entered the "winter", the emergence of the epidemic so that the plight of the major car companies "worse", some car companies according to the unified requirements of the country to stop production, some car companies are working overtime production, transformation of the negative pressure ambulance, and some even more! "Pouring money to help".
The above companies ranked in no particular order, the data as of January 31, 2020
Distressed at the moment, the automobile group to help
Wuhan is one of the core cities of China's automobile industry, and the headquarters of the Dongfeng Automobile Group and the location of some of its enterprises is Wuhan. As a local enterprise in Hubei Province, where the epidemic occurred, DFMG and its enterprises have donated 41 million yuan and materials, among which DFMG donated 10 million yuan on January 23rd and 20 million yuan on January 26th, and its Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Honda have donated 3 million yuan to Wuhan Economic-Technological Development Zone (Hannan District) through Dongfeng Public Welfare Foundation, while Dongfeng Xiaokang donated 3 million yuan to Wuhan Economic-Technological Development Zone (Hannan District). Ltd. and Dongfeng Honda through the Dongfeng Public Welfare Foundation each donated 3 million yuan to Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone (Hannan District), while Dongfeng Xiaokang donated Dongfeng Fengguang 580, Dongfeng Fengguang ix7 and other vehicles valued at about 5 million yuan to Hubei Charity Federation.

I noticed that as early as the beginning of the outbreak of the epidemic, SAIC's enterprises had already started to work overtime to produce medical vehicles, assist in the delivery of livelihood materials in the infected areas, provide pro bono logistics services, coordinate overseas medical material transportation services and organize travel service fleets. It is reported that SAIC Datsun's production line resumed work on January 25 and expedited the production of negative pressure ambulances, striving to deliver the first batch of negative pressure ambulances on February 5 to support the frontline of the anti-epidemic.

One party in trouble, eight parties to support
While many independent brands due to the downturn in the automobile market and the days of tightening their belts, but in the face of the spreading epidemic, but also have to offer love, and independent brother Geely Automobile is a good example of the lead. According to official sources, Geely Holding Group together with Li Shufu public welfare fund set up 200 million yuan of new pneumonia prevention and control of special funds to buy urgently needed epidemic medical supplies, support the construction of temporary hospitals in the epidemic areas, support the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and other institutions such as the research and development of vaccines and other and long-term public **** health and safety information popularization of the community. In addition, Geely Automobile also mobilized global resources to raise medical supplies, while donating 50 MPV models Geely Jiaji, its travel service platform Cao Cao travel is the establishment of emergency prevention and control of the security fleet, with the epidemic prevention and control of car scheduling.
Other independent brands, BYD through the BYD Charity Foundation to the Hubei Provincial Charity Federation donated 10 million yuan to support the prevention and control of the new coronavirus infection pneumonia epidemic; taking into account the current shortage of domestic medical and prevention and control materials, BYD on January 30, an additional 1 million yuan worth of epidemic prevention and control materials N95 masks. Chery Holdings Group donated 10 million yuan (including cash, special ambulance vehicles and medical protection materials) at the same time, expedited the production of 20 negative pressure ambulances; and the Great Wall Motors also donated 5 million yuan to the Hubei Provincial Charity Federation, of which 3 million for the purchase of medical supplies, 2 million to the Hubei Provincial Command of prevention and control of new coronavirus-infected pneumonia unified deployment and use.
Of course, other car companies, including joint-venture brands, also have full of love.

And Toyota Motor, Toyota China and its joint ventures in China donated a total of 10 million yuan.
It's worth mentioning that the new car-making forces are willing to do their part in the face of difficulties despite the difficulties of starting a new business.

In addition, Nezha Automobile donated 1 million yuan for the current epidemic prevention and control support, while Xiaopeng Automobile and Weimar Automobile donated medical supplies worth 3 million yuan and 4 million yuan respectively.
Road closures, travel services lift the gloom
With the widespread spread of the epidemic, provincial passenger transportation has been suspended in many parts of the country, some intra-city public **** transportation has been suspended in many cities, and road and vehicle management measures have been taken to varying degrees in various regions across the country. However, the city and road closures have brought challenges to people's travel while blocking the virus' transmission path.
Thankfully, in addition to large car companies such as China FAW and Dongfeng Motor Group, which provide travel services, other companies in the field of travel services are also contributing to the fight against the new coronavirus outbreak. I learned that the drip travel not only exempted the driver in February rent, the vehicle rental period extended by one month, but also in Wuhan, Shanghai set up by 1,336 drivers composed of "health care protection fleet", free transportation front-line health care workers. It is reported that, in order to implement the preparation and construction of the "health care protection fleet" in other cities such as Beijing, DDT has set up a special fund of 200 million yuan for the protection of the fleet, which is used for the fleet driver's allowance, protection and procurement of epidemic prevention materials.
In addition, in order to help Wuhan fight the epidemic, Shenzhou Rent-A-Car decided on January 25th to provide free cars to the national medical rescue organizations and the media; on January 29th, Tic-Tac Travel united with the Hercynian Pharmaceutical Trade Center, Suning Ebay, and other public welfare organizations and social enterprises, to launch the "Affordable supply of *** with the war" campaign, which is the first time that Tic-Tac Travel has launched a new campaign. *** with the war 'epidemic'" as the theme of the anti-epidemic joint public welfare action, open up the national shortage of medical supplies supply and demand platform area, free of charge for the government, medical institutions, public welfare organizations and enterprises and institutions to provide accurate and effective anti-epidemic medical supplies at affordable prices supply information; and January 31, Huaxia travel decision on the From February 1 to 15, in the cities where Mo Fan Express has put vehicles (Beijing, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Chongqing, Kunming, Suzhou), free of charge to the local government, public welfare organizations, industry associations and enterprises that guarantee the distribution of medical and urgently needed materials to provide electric logistics vehicles for the government and public institutions to deploy and guarantee the distribution of medical and anti-epidemic equipment and facilities and the protection of people's livelihood materials.
While the Spring Festival of 2020
was overshadowed by the epidemic
but after the storm
will be able to see the rainbow
Lastly, I would like to tell you that
everyone should remember to wear a mask when going out!
