2. Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business and CEO of Smart Car BU, said today that if Shanghai cannot resume work and production, after May, all technology/industrial industries involving Shanghai's supply chain will be completely shut down, especially the automobile industry. He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, also said that if the supply chain enterprises in Shanghai and the surrounding areas cannot complete the resumption of work and production, then all domestic vehicle factories will probably stop production in May. Because of the epidemic, Bosch, the world's largest parts and components company, has stopped operating at its shanghai and Changchun plants, and Aptiv has suspended operations in Shanghai.
Autonomous car review: Although Huawei does not directly do the automobile business, Yu Chengdong's speech has really caused panic in the domestic industry. If the epidemic in Shanghai continues, it will be a huge blow to automobile production and sales in the second quarter.
