This epidemic is undoubtedly a heavy blow to economic development, especially in the context of the negative growth of automobile sales for two consecutive years, which is even worse for car companies. However, the automobile industry has never been an industry that has added chaos to the country, although most automobile companies have "tightened their belts" to live. Still generously donated money and materials to the epidemic area. Even after the first round of donations, the price was increased again, and the second and third donations were made to start the "anti-epidemic model".
It is understood that up to now, the "Top Ten" car companies, including Geely Holding, Great Wall Motor, Dongfeng Motor, Guangzhou Automobile Group, China FAW, FAW-Volkswagen, BAIC Group, BYD Auto and SAIC-Volkswagen, have all donated twice or more, and the accumulated donation amount of car companies is nearly/kloc-0.1 billion yuan. In Auto-First's view, these enterprises did not donate less at the first time, but provided assistance again after seeing the seriousness of the epidemic, showing a very strong sense of corporate social responsibility.
Among the car companies fighting the epidemic, Geely Holding Group has invested the highest amount at present. First, on June 28th, 65438, Geely Holding Group and Li Shufu Public Welfare Foundation jointly set up a special fund of 200 million yuan to support the prevention and control of new pneumonia in Hubei, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Henan provinces. Today, Geely Automobile invested 370 million yuan in advance to start the research and development of "all-round health car" with anti-virus function. In addition, the first batch of 250,000 medical masks have been sent from Sweden to China, and 50 Jiaji have been sent to areas with severe epidemic.
FAW-Volkswagen, the passenger car with the largest sales volume last year, also made great contributions in this anti-epidemic operation. Following the donation of 6 million yuan on 1 year1October 27th, FAW-Volkswagen, together with its three brands, Volkswagen, Audi and Jetta, donated an additional 34 million yuan, totaling 40 million yuan, to help fight the epidemic, and the donated funds were used to alleviate the shortage of medical materials in the front line of fighting the epidemic.

At the same time, FAW-Volkswagen provided basic maintenance for hospitals in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia to participate in FAW-Volkswagen brand vehicles in the name of front-line medical staff fighting against "new pneumonia" in Hubei Province. Faw liberation Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. issued the Notice on Implementing Special Service Policy during Epidemic Prevention and Control, which provided priority service for vehicles transporting materials to epidemic areas, and also provided free maintenance and rescue.
Dongfeng Motor was the first car company to donate money. Since the birth of 1969, Dongfeng Motor has been closely related to Hubei. Shiyan is the birthplace of Dongfeng Motor, Xiangyang is the main production base of Dongfeng Motor, and Wuhan is the headquarters of Dongfeng Company and the location of some enterprises. It is the unshirkable responsibility of Dongfeng Company to rescue Hubei and fight against the epidemic. 65438+1On October 23rd, Dongfeng Motor donated100000 yuan to Wuhan Charity Federation, and on October 26th, 65438+/kloc-0, together with its subsidiaries, donated 26 million yuan to Hubei. In addition to paying for things, Dongfeng is still in the front line of "output". Dongfeng Brigade is still sticking to the front line of epidemic prevention and transportation, becoming a "wage earner" different from medical staff, ensuring material transshipment and citizens' travel.
1October 26th, 65438+ Guangzhou Automobile Group announced that it would jointly donate 5 million yuan in cash and materials to Guangzhou Automobile Honda, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota and Guangzhou Automobile Passenger Cars. 65438+1October 28th, in order to meet the urgent needs of medical supplies in Guangzhou, Guangqi Honda and Guangqi Toyota respectively took out factory reserve materials and donated 4,000 masks and 6,000 masks to Guangzhou First People's Hospital.

Fujian Benz and Beiqi Futian actively responded to the negative pressure ambulance production task issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and resumed work at the beginning of the year to ensure the production of negative pressure ambulances. At present, a large number of negative pressure ambulances have been on the front line.

The new donations are mainly used to support the procurement of materials in Hubei and other provinces and cities with serious epidemics, and support the prevention and control of related epidemics, vaccines and drug research. In addition, the donation will also be used for the longer-term public health and epidemic prevention system construction, including epidemic emergency, material transportation, epidemic prevention education, epidemic recovery and difficult subsidies.
In fact, for car companies, 2020 was originally a big test. With the spread of epidemic and the downward pressure of macro-economy in 2020, China automobile will face the most severe test in history. In Auto-First's view, in this case, what can contribute to the fight against the epidemic is the embodiment of corporate social responsibility, especially these car companies that make secondary donations, which are even more commendable. However, the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility is good at public welfare. At the level of corporate donation, the outside world should not only pay attention to the amount, and should not think that the second donation is just a contest and competition between car companies in terms of the amount. It is up to the car companies to donate more or less. Don't make a fuss about the amount, maliciously belittle it, but also pay attention to the degree of intention of enterprises to practice social responsibility.
