Soaring capacity leads to faster sewing? BYD falls into "Rashomon"

Recently, there are several things in Changsha, Hunan Province, that have attracted national attention, in addition to the building collapse incident, which is BYD's Changsha factory.

On May 8, Changsha Yuhua District official micro "Flying Dream Yuhua" released the news that the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have set up an investigation team on the same day to enter the BYD Yuhua District factory to carry out an investigation.

"Resident complaints - media exposure - enterprise denial - government investigation", after being exposed to the problem of polluting and disturbing people, BYD initially vigorously denied or even threatened to call the police, and then triggered a higher regulatory level of intervention. So, how did Changsha BYD ferment into a public opinion event step by step?

BYD called the police

What is called "house leakage is in the overnight rain", Changsha BYD Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Changsha BYD) has recently experienced it.

Before the "May Day" holiday, BYD employees broke the news that "together at 10 o'clock in the evening of the 25th, it happened again at 12 o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th, and three cases (jumping off the building) occurred in a week." "BYD has been pushed on the hot search.

Just after the holiday, Changsha BYD was involved in an environmental pollution allegation and once again became the focus of public opinion.

It is reported that since April, some owners and children of Jiahe City in Changsha Yuhua District have found physical discomfort, and the main symptoms are frequent nosebleeds, dizziness, nausea, and long cough.

According to a subsequent report, at least 21 of the more than 40 students in some classes at Shazitangjiahe Primary School in Yuhua District had experienced nosebleeds in the past two months.

The most astonishing thing is that in the face of local residents and the disclosure of many media, BYD has shown an extremely arrogant side.

On the evening of May 7, BYD said on its official Microblog that it had taken relevant measures and actively improved some residential areas close to the industrial park or there was a peculiar smell.

Notice that the climax is coming! BYD further declared: In response to the situation that "excessive emissions caused nosebleeds" on the Internet, it is a malicious fabrication of the association, we have called the police, and will pursue the legal responsibility of the relevant personnel.

However, the aggressive BYD did not convince netizens. Under BYD's official micro, as of the evening of May 8, there were more than 1,600 comments, and netizens continued to anger BYD.

"In the past two months in the community around the factory, more than 720 people have had nosebleeds and coughs for no reason since 10 o'clock this evening, so parents will joke about their children's lives" "Is the pungent smell every day made up by the owners?" Also, do you have a statement stamp that you don't have to cover?", and so on.

Caused by overcapacity?

Some netizens questioned whether such a plan is reasonable next to the factory is a community? In fact, the environmental law enforcement brigade of Yuhua District of Changsha City told residents that BYD built a factory in the front, the community construction in the back, this plot is planned as industrial land, and the emission standard is the industrial standard. The planning department replied that whether it is the planned land of the BYD factory or the planning land of the community, it is reasonable and legal, and there is no problem.

In fact, whether the factory is built first or the community is built first, it should not be the reason for the factory to be so blatantly discharged pollution.

According to the data, Changsha BYD Automobile Co., Ltd., founded in 2009, is the first project of BYD Group to lay out the central region, and is also BYD's strategic base for new energy vehicles with the most complete product lines across the two major fields of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

How important is CHANGSHA BYD? Changsha BYD has planned a relatively complete new energy vehicle production line, which can produce Dynasty Network models Qin PLUS DM-i, Song MAX DM-i, Yuan Pro, Ocean Network models Dolphin, Destroyer 05, e2, e3 and other passenger cars, K series, C series pure electric buses and core supporting components.

Changsha BYD DM-i Power Plant is currently the only production base of BYD's DM-i system in China, which can be adapted to the power system of ALL BYD new energy models.

In the first quarter of this year, Changsha BYD produced a total of 62,500 new cars, an increase of 271% year-on-year. According to the April production and sales report, from January to April, BYD's cumulative sales of new energy vehicles were 392,400 units, an increase of 387.94% year-on-year; among them, the cumulative sales of DM series models were about 189,600 units, an increase of 699.91% year-on-year.

As the saying goes, "turnips are fast and do not wash mud", and when BYD's new energy is booming, related problems are also highlighted. In late April this year, a picture of a BYD owner waiting for 262 days to pick up the car and pulling a banner to thank the 4S store was all over Douyin.

According to data, BYD's cumulative undelivered orders reached 400,000 units, and it is still increasing month by month. The gradually extended delivery time has triggered dissatisfaction among car owners. As a result, the delivery problem naturally fell on the BYD Yuhua District factory, which is known as the "largest production capacity".

Therefore, some netizens speculate that the reason why the sewage incident will break out now is likely to be because bydy's soaring production has led to the acceleration of the pace of sewage.

Reaching the standard but disturbing the people?

On the issue of sewage discharge, BYD can be regarded as a "habitual offender".

According to the data of Tianyancha, in the random inspection of pollution sources, the Yuhua Branch of Changsha Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment (Yuhua Law Enforcement Brigade) found that Changsha BYD Company had problems in the automatic monitoring facilities of pollution sources and the implementation of the pollution permit management system, and was ordered to make corrections.

Not only in Changsha, as early as the end of 2016, the Fourth Central Environmental Protection Inspection Group entered Guangdong. During this period, a number of residents complained about the pungent exhaust gas of BYD enterprises in Baolong Industrial City, Longgang District, Shenzhen.

However, at that time, the Shenzhen Municipal Human Settlements Commission supervised and monitored the exhaust gas exhaust cylinder of the BYD company's workshop twice, and carried out supervision and monitoring of the exhaust gas in the factory boundary of BYD company 9 times, and the results of each monitoring did not exceed the standard.

After the inspection team conducted an on-site investigation, the source of the odor was locked in the battery processing workshop. The government demanded thorough and systematic rectification, and BYD founder Wang Chuanfu promised on the spot: "We can definitely do it." ”

So, will this time also be a remake? In bydy's statement on May 8, there was actually such a sentence: "BYD Changsha Yuhua District Industrial Park was put into operation in 2012, and the emissions of the park comply with relevant national laws and regulations and standards." ”

Look, it's so well said. "Reaching the standard but disturbing the people", how to solve such a dilemma?

After the matter fermented, the regulatory authorities began to act. At 4:00 a.m. on May 8, the WeChat public account of the Propaganda Department of the Changsha Yuhua District Committee "Feimeng Yuhua" released a message that the Standing Committee of the Changsha Yuhua District Committee held an emergency meeting in the early morning of May 8 to study the gas emissions in the painting workshop of byBYD's Changsha Yuhua District Industrial Park. The meeting made it clear that it is necessary to quickly carry out comprehensive environmental protection testing, timely announce the results to the public, and make every effort to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the masses.

At 2:30 p.m. on May 8, "Feimeng Yuhua" once again released the news that in response to the masses' feedback on the gas emissions of the BYD Yuhua District factory, the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have set up an investigation team on May 8 to organize government functional departments, third-party testing agencies and relevant experts to enter the BYD Yuhua District factory to investigate. I hope that this time BYD can thoroughly investigate its own problems and come up with rectification measures, rather than just staying on the surface of a sentence of "can do"!
