Sales data show that BMW sold 723680 vehicles in China in 2019, an increase of 13.1% over the same period last year, surpassing Mercedes-Benz and Audi to become the No. 1 luxury brand in 2019.
DPCA, located in Wuhan, also announced that in order to strengthen epidemic prevention and control work and ensure the safety of employees, in accordance with the notice of the General Office of the State Council on extending the Spring Festival holiday in 2020 and the requirements of the Hubei Provincial Prevention and Control headquarters on the resumption of work of various enterprises in the province, the official resumption time of DPCA will be notified no earlier than 24:00 on February 13, and the specific time will be notified separately according to the changes in the epidemic situation and the relevant requirements of the government.
In addition to extending the resumption of work of DPCA, which has a factory in Wuhan, Hubei, which is hardest hit by the epidemic, Toyota, Honda, Tesla and other car companies have also announced that they will extend the resumption time.
Affected by the epidemic, Toyota said on January 29 that the opening time of its four plants in China (Tianjin, Chengdu, Changchun and Guangzhou Nansha) was delayed to 10 days. Toyota will closely monitor the situation and make a further decision from February 10.
Honda announced on January 30 that it would suspend motorcycle production in Suzhou and track and field, as well as car production in Guangzhou and Wuhan, and its motorcycle and car operations until February 9.

Ford Motor recently announced that the opening time of its joint venture Changan Ford plant in China is expected to be delayed to February 10. It is understood that Changan Ford currently has a number of production bases in Chongqing, Hangzhou and Harbin.
In addition, ideal Automobile also said today that according to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control throughout the country and around the country, the production of various parts suppliers in the automobile industry has been affected to varying degrees. Affected by this, the production and delivery of ideal ONE will also be delayed to some extent. The ideal car is making preparations for the resumption of the factory in strict accordance with the requirements of the local government.
Dongfeng Motor, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Renault and other independent and joint venture car enterprises have been gathered in Wuhan, the hardest-hit area. According to the requirements of the State Council and Hubei Province, the time for enterprises to return to work should not be earlier than February 13, and it is expected that the shutdown time of automobile enterprises in the hardest-hit areas will be longer.
In addition to the above car companies, Beijing Hyundai, Volvo, Lulai, Chery, Geely, Great Wall and other car companies have also announced to extend the time to return to work, reduce personnel gathering, and prevent and control the spread of the epidemic.
In addition to affecting the production planning of automobile manufacturers, the novel coronavirus epidemic also affected the automobile industry chain. Volkmar Dunnell, chief executive of Bosch, the world's largest auto parts supplier, warned that novel coronavirus could affect global parts supply chains, which are heavily dependent on China.
Affected by the epidemic, the entire automobile industry chain is in a "paralyzed" state. It is helpless for automobile enterprises to extend the time to return to work, on the one hand, to respond to the call of the country, on the other hand, it is also the performance of being responsible for the safety of the company's employees and preventing and controlling the spread of the epidemic. At present, major car companies at home and abroad have invested in this "war plague" by donating and donating money to combat the epidemic, with a total donation of nearly 800 million yuan.
As far as the automobile industry is concerned, the extension of the resumption time of automobile enterprises is bound to have a negative impact on the development of automobile economy. According to the China Automobile Association, China's car sales fell 8.2% in 2019 compared with the same period last year, and new energy vehicles began to decline after subsidies fell. The China Automobile Association predicts that car sales will decline to about 2% in 2020. In 2020, as the automobile market is still in the doldrums, coupled with the outbreak of the epidemic, it is expected that China's car sales will decline further in 2020.
Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Federation of passengers, said, "this epidemic has a great impact on the car market in the first quarter, because the production and operation of the entire industry has stopped, and sales may drop sharply in February, because the epidemic has not yet reached its peak. Therefore, the impact on March is uncertain and is likely to gradually stabilize."
