Yesterday, the whole city of Xi'an was reduced to a low-risk area, and the order of social production and life was actively and steadily returning to normal. In response to the government's call, BYD launched a car draw campaign on January 25 for its employees in Xi'an who participated in the resumption of production, and the winning employees will receive a new energy vehicle produced locally in Xi'an. The event will continue in early February.
The car pumping activity was carried out at noon today in the Bydir Industrial Park in Xi'an, and finally a production line employee from BYD's second business unit received a Song PLUS DM-i and carried out the delivery ceremony on the same day.
It is reported that since the implementation of closed management in residential areas (villages) and units in Xi'an, about 70,000 people have been closed in the industrial park of Xi'an BYD. Xi'an BYD has effectively implemented various epidemic prevention policies, and up to now, a total of 23 rounds of nucleic acid testing have been carried out, and the results have not been abnormal, becoming a safe highland in the epidemic. During the lockdown in Xi'an, bydir Charitable Foundation also donated 10 million yuan and 30 million yuan of anti-epidemic materials to the Xi'an Red Cross Society to help Xi'an fight against the epidemic.
According to Liu Zhenyu, general manager of BYD Xi'an Company, on the one hand, this car drawing activity is to thank BYD employees who are fighting in the frontline against the epidemic in Xi'an, and on the other hand, to respond to the government's call to encourage employees to celebrate the New Year on the spot.
At a series of press conferences on the overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development in Xi'an yesterday afternoon, Sun Yuankun, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that in order to strengthen the normalization and precise prevention and control of the epidemic in industrial enterprises, in the process of supervising the resumption of work and production of enterprises, the general principle is that enterprises in low-risk areas should be restored. BYD organized employees to resume work in an orderly and comprehensive manner at the first time, and carried out a series of factory retention activities, including car pumping, to help the production in the park get back on track.
Xi'an is an important production base of BYD, with a layout of automobiles, electronics, batteries, rail transit, auto finance and other businesses, especially shouldering the production of Song PLUS DM-i, Song Pro DM-i, Qin PLUS DM-i and other popular models in the market.
According to the data, BYD's car sales in December 2021 were 99,112 units, with a cumulative 740131 vehicles in the whole year, an increase of 73.34% year-on-year. Due to the epidemic in Xi'an in December and the improvement of regional prevention and control levels, the output of BYD's Xi'an automobile production base has been affected to a certain extent, while market demand is still strong. The resumption of production by BYD xi'an plays an important role in the production of BYD DM-i. Up to now, the production of BYD's Xi'an base has basically returned to normal.
