AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/20 Report--

On April 20th, ideal Auto officially released a "statement on the delay in the delivery of ideal cars." Ideal Motors said that supply chain companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have been unable to supply ideal cars since the end of March due to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control. As a result, it has a great impact on the production of ideal cars in April, resulting in delays in the delivery of new cars for some users. I apologize for this. At present, ideal Automobile is working with supply chain enterprises to actively restore production capacity to meet the requirements of epidemic prevention and control. We try to limit the delay of user delivery to less than 3 weeks.

On April 18, ideal car CEO Li Xiang has posted a post on the social platform calling on car companies to analyze and investigate the survival problems of small and medium-sized parts suppliers in advance, and provide timely assistance. Li Xiang said: "in this round of O'Micron 's epidemic, all car brands have to solve the problem of their immediate parts supply." it is also necessary to do a special management job: to analyze in advance the survival of small and medium-sized parts suppliers, including level 3, level 4, and level 5, that you never need to manage before. In short, analyze and check in advance, cooperate with primary and secondary suppliers, and the assistance supports decisive action. "

In addition to the ideal car, another new force in car-building is also facing the problem of delayed delivery. According to the black cat complaint, Naha car has been collectively complained by prospective owners because of the delay in the delivery of the V Pro Smart Edition. According to the description of user 7754767121, the initiator of the collective complaint: "Naha car advertises under the name of L2 assistant driving, but a v pro smart version is not delivered. A large number of our prospective owners have been waiting for the car to increase the price of other cars by about 10, 000, while Nahu car does not hand in. In February, it was scheduled to be delivered in mid-late March and early April. At present, a v pro smart version has not been delivered nationwide in mid-April." Neither the customer service nor the dealer can give us an exact delivery time. Please give us a clear reply. The orders from November to March can be delivered before the time. Orders for each month are given a deadline. Please also specify the areas where you are unable to deliver due to the epidemic. Don't say the middle of the month at the beginning of the month, the end of the month, and the end of the month as customer service does. If the car can't give a definite answer, please compensate us for the loss. We go to order other brands of cars, we don't want to wait indefinitely. "

In this regard, Nahu Automobile responded to the relevant media that: due to the shortage of chip resources, the waiting time needs to be about 3 months, and the model has stopped taking orders at present.

Public data show that in the first quarter of this year, ideal delivered a total of 31716 new cars, an increase of 152.1% over the same period last year, and the ideal ONE alone won the runner-up. Nezha, a second-tier brand, delivered 30152 new cars in the first quarter, up 305 per cent from a year earlier.

The automobile industry is concerned that against the background of repeated COVID-19 epidemic and supply chain shortages, tight supply of spare parts in the auto industry has become a common phenomenon since March this year, and a number of car companies have stopped production due to tight supply chains. These include Lai Motor, Dongfeng Nissan's tank brands, Great Wall and so on. In addition, Xiaopeng founder he Xiaopeng, Huawei consumer business CEO, smart car BU CEO Yu Chengdong have also said frankly that they are worried about the automobile supply chain because of the tight supply chain. He Xiaopeng, founder of Xiaopeng Automobile, wrote on Weibo on the evening of April 14 that "if supply chain companies in and around Shanghai cannot find a way to return to work and production dynamically, all vehicle factories in China may stop production in May." Yu Chengdong said: "Huawei has just entered the automotive industry, is not familiar with and do not know the supply situation of the industry, it is not clear that the core shortage of the whole industry is so serious." According to the specific analysis, the supply chain tension in the automobile industry is mainly due to the decline or stagnation of factory production capacity caused by the epidemic control, and the logistics interruption or delay caused by the outbreak of key automobile parts. Fortunately, at present, the automobile industry is carrying out the work of resuming work and production in an orderly manner, including Auto-Volkswagen, SAIC General Motors, SAIC passenger cars, Tesla and so on.
