When the epidemic broke out, it was not a shortage of rice, oil and salt, but a "hard to find a cover". At this time, BYD, as a new energy vehicle company, stood up and announced the transformation of cross-border mask production. This decision made countless netizens cry. As we all know, at that time, under the influence of the epidemic, workers, factories, materials and other needed items could not be collected smoothly. It is conceivable how much effort and determination BYD has made.
Even because the equipment is difficult to buy and the order delivery cycle is long, it once became a bottleneck. In order to solve this problem, BYD has completed a series of "hard-core" operations that make the outside world stunned-making its own mask machine, which can make more than a dozen sets a day. Appraised by the food and drug supervision department, the quality of BYD's self-produced masks is much higher than that of similar masks in the industry. As soon as the news of mask production assistance came out, the demand for orders came from all directions. Driven by a strong sense of responsibility and mission, BYD has become one of the largest mask factories in the world, with a daily output of 500,000 to 5 million.
Recently, it was reported that BYD had received a huge mask order worth $654.38 billion from California. According to California Governor newsome, BYD will supply about 200 million masks to California every month, most of which are N95 masks with higher protection level. A large number of masks can not only meet the needs of the state, but also support other States.
Since BYD established its factory in America in 20 13, its models have been sold to America 13 states and 4 provinces in Canada, with a total sales volume of over 4.6 million vehicles. This huge mask order is only part of BYD's overseas achievements, and the pure electric bus market in many countries has also been occupied by BYD.
At the end of last month, BYD released its 20 19 annual financial report, with annual revenue of 21277.39 billion yuan, down1.78% year-on-year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was161200 million yuan, down 42.03% year-on-year, and the annual profit was only 1.32%. BYD's annual profit loss is inseparable from the subsidy policy of the entire new energy vehicle market last year. First, the subsidy will be withdrawn, and then the country will switch between five countries and six countries, which will also have a great impact on other new energy vehicle companies.
Independent innovation and independent research and development have become the foundation of our domestic independent automobile brands. Only by vigorously promoting technological innovation and mastering core technologies can we narrow the gap with joint venture brands step by step. Although the financial report released by BYD did not specify the investment in R&D, according to the data of global automobile patent database, the number of automobile patents published in China in 20 19 was 243,000, down 0.83% year-on-year. BYD applied for 2,463 patents in 2065,438+09, an increase of 36.6% compared with 65,438+0,803 in 2065,438+08, ranking second in the main patent application list, second only to Toyota.
As the core component of new energy vehicles, power battery is BYD's old line. The "Blade Battery" released some time ago shows us BYD's efforts in technology research and development. By changing the module structure of lithium iron phosphate battery, "Blade Battery" has increased the volume energy density of the battery by 50%, so that the cruising range of lithium iron phosphate battery can reach the same level as that of ternary lithium battery, and compared with ternary lithium battery, lithium iron phosphate battery is safer. Wang Chuanfu even said that he had the ability to erase the word "spontaneous combustion" from the dictionary of new energy vehicles.
Written at the end: BYD is now at the forefront of the world in the field of new energy vehicles. It can be seen from BYD's achievements that only by mastering the initiative and ownership of core technologies can we gain a firm foothold in the market. Temporary "cross-border" production is out of corporate social responsibility. On the other hand, the profit brought by this huge mask order also made up for the production impact brought by the epidemic to some extent.
