Investigate Shanghai auto companies: continue closed-loop production and increase discounts

Car Information Network, June 2nd,at 11:00 p.m. on May 31st, the Shanghai police dismantled the cordon, fence and other isolation control facilities on the Waibaidu Bridge, and the bridge resumed normal traffic. The tunnel was reopened to traffic, the cross-river channel that had been closed for more than 60 days was restarted, and private cars in Shanghai resumed normal travel.Shanghai, as usual, returns in the middle of the night.

Along with it, there is the simultaneous awakening of major enterprises in Shanghai.Among them, automobile companies with extremely complex production and manufacturing systems have also started the road to resumption of work and production after overcoming various difficulties.

Continue closed-loop production and delay resumption of work in batches

As early as mid-April, Shanghai continued to promote the resumption of work and production of enterprises on the basis of ensuring compliance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control.As of May 13, SAIC Motor, SAIC GM, SAIC Volkswagen, and Tesla have fully resumed work, basically achieving continuous and stable production. About 2,000 complete vehicles are offline every day, driving more than 1,100 upstream and downstream companies. Several parts and components supporting enterprises resumed production.

Auto exports are also accelerating their recovery. Data released by Shanghai shows that since Tesla resumed work, it has exported about 4,900 complete vehicles, and SAIC has exported 15,000 complete vehicles.The fact that the two car companies are quickly on the right track is actually inseparable from the closed-loop production of the factory.

It is reported that in order to ensure orderly production, Tesla’s Shanghai plant has resumed some production since April 19, and has adopted a closed-loop mode. Workers in closed-loop production are placed in idle factories, and day and night shift workers share a bed.

With the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation, Tesla has more than 10,000 employees in closed-loop production. A person familiar with the matter said that although Shanghai has fully resumed normal production and life, Tesla hopes to have a 10-day buffer time to ensure stable production. , for which Tesla will continue closed-loop production until June 10.

Volkswagen also chose to continue to close the loop.An internal notice from Volkswagen shows that all workers living at the factory are required to continue to close the loop, while other workers continue to stay at home, and the factory will gradually return to full production between June 13 and June 30.Among them, the SAIC Volkswagen closed-loop system will be maintained until June 10.

"Since mid-April, SAIC Volkswagen has resumed production at its third, MEB, and second auto plants in Anting and closed-loop production. The current production capacity is gradually climbing." "express.

Since Nezha Auto does not have a factory in Shanghai, it is only a salesperson at the R&D headquarters, so during the epidemic, Nezha Auto's employees in Shanghai were all at home.A person familiar with the matter said that at present, the high-level executives of Nezha Auto live in the company, and the employees below are not going out for the time being.

In addition, there are also batches of resumption of work. Among them, Ford China plans to resume work in the first batch on June 6, while Lincoln will resume work in succession next Monday.

4S stores start business, car companies increase discounts

However, "Automobile Talk" learned that although the production of Shanghai auto companies is still gradually recovering, Shanghai's auto 4S stores have been fully opened for business.Among them, with the full recovery of Shanghai, the Shanghai Lincoln Center has reached 100% work resumption rate, and has started normal business, and all models have existing cars, and it only takes three days to pick up the car.At the same time, some 4S stores in Shanghai received many users on the first day after the unsealing of the 4S stores, as residents were closed at home for several days.

"A lot of people come to the store today, including car viewing, maintenance, and rental cars." A 4S store of SAIC Volkswagen in Shanghai said that because SAIC Volkswagen has recently introduced the purchase tax reduction and exemption policy, there have been significantly more users inquiring about new cars, but If you order a car now, it may take 1-3 months to pick up the car for the model that is not in stock, and the delivery time of the 2022 model cannot be determined.

Obviously, with the unblocking of the epidemic, residents' willingness to consume has also increased, which is mainly due to the various policies issued by the government.

Specifically, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government issued the "Shanghai Action Plan for Accelerating Economic Recovery and Revitalization", announcing that 40,000 new non-commercial passenger vehicle licenses will be added during the year, and a financial subsidy of 10,000 yuan will be given to each new energy vehicle. .At the same time, the executive meeting of the State Council recently decided to reduce the purchase tax of some passenger vehicles by 60 billion yuan in stages. The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation also jointly issued an announcement on the reduction of purchase tax on May 31.

In order to comply with the call of the above policies, WM Motor has launched a preferential policy for prospective car owners to purchase the designated WM WM W6 models with a maximum comprehensive subsidy of 35,000 yuan; SAIC Volkswagen Volkswagen announced that all its models will be overweighted, and the highest purchase tax will be exempted.

Among them, the new Tiguan L, Tiguan X, Tuyue, and new Passat are all exempt from purchase tax, and other fuel vehicle products that meet the national reduction and exemption policy are exempted from 75% of the purchase tax.In addition, Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Nissan, Changan, Jietu, SAIC Roewe and many other car companies have also provided corporate subsidies on the basis of halving the purchase tax.

It can be seen that the quiet period of the past two months has caused most of the Shanghai auto companies that have been "delayed" to start working hard to regain the lost opportunity, and have increased the reduction and exemption policies one after another. It is also expected to usher in the first wave of growth after the epidemic.
