The auto industry starts the tough battle for resumption of work and production

"Thanks for all the care and support, Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory resumed work smoothly today

Last week, He Xiaopeng, the founder and chairman of Xiaopeng Motors, issued a warning that "the national car companies will stop production in May"

Accelerate the pace of resumption of work and production

Under the deployment and coordination of governments at all levels in Shanghai, on April 17 and 18, 8,000 Tesla employees returned to the factory one after another

At the same time, many Tesla component suppliers in Shanghai have also resumed work and production, becoming the area with the largest proportion of Tesla's supplier partners

On the same day, SAIC Group's Lingang Passenger Vehicle Plant completed the first vehicle off the assembly line under the pressure test of resumption of work and production this week

More than 200 Shanghai-based auto suppliers and vehicle logistics companies have also started the resumption of work and production at the same time as SAIC

Weilai Automobile said that due to the influence of the supply chain, Weilai's vehicle production was suspended on April 9, but the supply chain has recovered slightly from the 14th, and the Hefei production base has gradually resumed production

Also resuming work and production are FAW Group in Changchun and BMW Brilliance in Shenyang

It is of great significance to resume production in the important town of the automobile industry

"If Shanghai and surrounding supply chain companies can't find a way to dynamically resume work and production, all OEMs across the country may stop production in

Chen Shihua, deputy secretary general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said, "It's not so absolute, but there may be a large-scale shutdown of production.

"Affected by the epidemic, in mid-March, Weilai had already cut off the supply of some parts and components, and it lasted until last week with inventory support.

Shanghai and its surrounding areas are the core gathering areas of the global auto industry

"At present, 9 of the top ten auto parts groups in the world have their Chinese headquarters in Shanghai

Collaboration across the entire industry chain is critical

Although it has entered the whitelist for resumption of work and production, the progress of resumption of work and production in various units is also inconsistent

"It's not difficult to understand.

"Parts can't come in, products can't go out" is a real problem faced by many parts and components companies in Shanghai and surrounding areas

But as He Xiaopeng said, the good news is that the relevant ministries and local governments are doing their best to coordinate
.
Luo Junjie, spokesman of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is taking multiple measures to ensure the smooth and stable supply chain of the industrial chain, and establish a daily scheduling mechanism for leading enterprises in key industrial chains such as automobiles, integrated circuits, and consumer electronics to give full play to The role of the smooth coordination platform of the industrial chain and supply chain ensures the stable production of key enterprises and the smooth operation of key industrial chains, strengthens the linkage of departments and policy coordination, and timely coordinates and solves problems and demands in the logistics and transportation of enterprises, and strives to achieve "raw materials can be transported in, products can be transported in.
" shipped"

On April 11, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched the "Automotive Industry Chain Supply Chain Smooth Coordination Platform".
Through the platform, it is possible to exchange information on practical problems in resumption of work, production, logistics and transportation, and establish a mechanism for appeals and feedback for enterprises in the automotive industry chain and supply chain.
Coordinate in a timely manner to solve the practical difficulties faced in the production and operation of enterprises

Cui Dongshu said: "In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has previously dispatched a front-end working group in Shanghai to go deep into the leading enterprises in the industrial chain to coordinate and solve urgent problems affecting stable production such as key raw material inventory alarms in a timely manner.
I believe that short-term pressure can be quickly resolved.
The industry has cut production on a large scale
.
”

"Automotive is an industry with a very long industrial chain.
The resumption of Tesla's work means that many suppliers will also resume work, so as to ensure stable and continuous production
.
We have also compiled a list of more than 100 suppliers in the industrial chain.
Provide it to relevant departments
.
" Tao Lin said, "We have always been confident in the Chinese market, and believe that this round of epidemic is just a short-term test or challenge.
From the process of resumption of work, we have seen the ability of all walks of life in China to cope with challenges, and I believe that it will soon be normal production can be resumed
