There is an old saying that if one side is in trouble, all sides will support it.
Since the outbreak of Wuhan epidemic, all parts of the country have extended a helping hand to key epidemic areas, and car companies are no exception. Among the donation details of many car companies, there are not a few who donate tens of millions. Just recently, such news began to spread and even appeared in CCTV news broadcast.
The production line of SAIC-GM-Wuling was transformed into a mask.
On February 6th, Baojun Automobile, a subsidiary of SAIC-GM-Wuling, took the lead in saying that it would transform its joint suppliers into masks by rebuilding its production line. Then, on February 8, the first batch of 200,000 masks produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling joint suppliers were successfully rolled off the assembly line, which will be mainly used for civilian use.
Within two days, Wuling automobile and NVH soundproof cotton successfully had a chemical reaction, and the Wuling brand mask that was not sold for the time being was officially born. In addition, by the end of February, SAIC-GM-Wuling will have built a 2000-square-meter dust-free production workshop, four N95 mask production lines and a 10 general medical protective mask production line. It is estimated that the daily production capacity will exceed10.7 million pieces.
Mask and disinfectant produced by BYD? Go to CCTV news
Compared with SAIC-GM-Wuling's joint transformation of the production line with suppliers, another car company has more cards, and even appeared on CCTV's "News Network" last night. This car company is BYD. BYD has many subsidiaries and wide coverage. At present, Baolong No.9 under BYD Di has started to produce masks, with a production capacity of 5 million masks/day, accounting for a quarter of the current national daily output, giving priority to meeting the first-line medical needs.
In the face of the epidemic, BYD's big family can not only produce masks, but also produce disinfectant.
On February 5th, the relevant media found that BYD Shanwei BYD Industrial Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of BYD, added research, development, production and sales of disinfectant products. Then on February 8, the company announced that it would switch to producing masks and disinfectants. It is expected to be mass-produced and shipped around February 17, with a production capacity of 50,000 bottles/day.
Shaanxi Automobile took the initiative to manufacture goggles.
Besides Wuling and BYD, Shaanxi Automobile also took the initiative to build goggles not long ago. Although the company as a whole has not resumed work, it only took two days to get ready. It is estimated that the daily assembly capacity will reach 3000 units/day.
Chairman of GAC personally visited mask manufacturers for investigation.
Coincidentally, recently, Zeng Qinghong, Party Secretary and Chairman of Guangzhou Automobile Group, personally went to Kuaiyuda, a Dongguan mask production equipment manufacturer, to learn about the manufacturing, assembly and debugging technology of mask production equipment, study the technical feasibility of building a new mask production line, and create a mask processing and production plan. ?
At present, GAC has started to train relevant personnel, and we believe that it won't be long before we can see GAC's mask production line.
Geely strives to launch "Car N95" within 20 days.
Compared with other car companies, Geely has invested more energy in R&D. Not long ago, Geely integrated global R&D resources, set up a special project team to tackle technical problems, and developed the first in-vehicle air conditioning filter element with "N95 mask" as the filtering standard in China, creating a unique G-CLEAN: Geely intelligent ecological health circle. By developing the industry-leading IAPS intelligent air purification system (intelligent? Air? Purification? System) to effectively prevent and filter bacteria and viruses from entering the car.
Geely Automobile will strive to complete the research and development of intelligent air purification system within 20 days, reach the mass production standard, and realize mass production within 30 days. The first batch of products will be equipped on 150 Cargill vehicles donated by Geely Automobile in the epidemic area, which will provide healthy and safe mobile space for frontline workers in epidemic prevention and control, and contribute to winning this war without smoke.
Fight the epidemic? Autobots are on the move.
In fact, there are 353 mask enterprises that have obtained the production license for medical masks nationwide, with a maximum daily output of more than 20 million. Even so, it is a drop in the bucket for China with a population of 654.38+04 billion. But at this point, the autobots are on the move.
For car companies that have always been known as highly intelligent factories, the dust-free standards of the painting workshop in the four major processes of automobile production, such as stamping, welding, painting and final assembly, are relatively high, so the manufacturing technology of medical materials such as masks is not difficult in theory.
In the future, we believe that more and more car companies will take action. For those car companies that have stopped production, in theory, they only need to transform the painting workshop, cooperate with relevant departments to obtain qualifications and purchase equipment, and they can quickly build a mask production capacity of more than one million, which is undoubtedly a solid and powerful reserve force to fight the epidemic.
