AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/08 Report--

Workers at Changsha BYD's Wangcheng and Yuhua factories have "resigned in bulk", and the recent reduction in workload and wages are the direct reasons why some workers choose to leave, the Financial Associated Press reported.

According to a survey conducted by the Financial Associated Press, outside the BYD Yuhua factory, the factory recruitment notice shows a "comprehensive monthly income of 5000-8000 yuan", but most of the workers actually earn less than 5000 yuan. According to the survey, according to BYD's salary standard, as an operator, the monthly basic salary specified in the contract is 1950 yuan, that is, the remuneration for normal attendance and completion of work tasks during standard working hours.

According to the standard hour working system, front-line operators are required to work 40 hours a week, or 160 hours per month on a four-week basis. This means that according to the above-mentioned monthly basic salary, the hourly wage of ordinary workers in the factory is about 12.19 yuan, and if you want to get a comprehensive salary of 5000 yuan a month, you have to rely on overtime.

In response to the relevant reports, BYD said: "it has been verified that the statements such as' turnover quota has been filled 'and' queuing up to resign 'are not consistent with the facts. At present, the recruitment of personnel in Changsha Park is normal, the company orders well, the market share is steadily rising, and the sales volume ranks first in the industry in the first four months of this year.

According to the CAC data, BYD sold 1.805 million narrow passenger cars in 2022, an increase of 149.4% over the same period last year, surpassing FAW-Volkswagen as the top seller in the domestic passenger car market, which sold 1.779 million vehicles in 2022, basically the same as in 2021. In addition, with its outstanding sales performance, BYD beat Tesla to become the top seller of new energy vehicles in the world. Prior to this, Tesla has been the top seller of new energy vehicles in the world for three consecutive years.

During the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, Li Yunfei, general manager of BYD's brand and public relations department, said in an interview that BYD targeted sales of 3 million vehicles this year, including overseas and Chinese markets. The target completion rate for the first quarter is 18.4%, and the annual sales target of 3 million vehicles is still a long way off. Earlier, Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, said bluntly that his goal was to become China's largest carmaker by the end of the year.

To meet its target of 3 million vehicles, BYD needs to sell an average of 816000 vehicles in the remaining three quarters. In order to increase sales, BYD on the one hand through momentum, looking up to impact the high-end market, on the other hand, with the help of dynasty, ocean series models to ensure the size of the market. After entering 2023, BYD launched 99800 yuan of Qin PLUS DM-i champion version and 73800 yuan of seagulls to achieve the same price of oil and electricity.

On May 2nd, BYD released April production and sales figures, showing sales of 209500 new energy passenger vehicles, an increase of 98.59% over the same period last year. Of this total, sales of pure electric vehicles were 104400, up 81.81% from the same period last year; plug-in hybrid sales were 10.51, up 118.64% from the same period last year. This is the highest monthly sales of BYD this year, with 150200 vehicles, 191700 vehicles and 206100 vehicles from January to March, respectively. It is not difficult to see that BYD's sales have increased steadily since 2023, but it is still doubtful whether it will be able to achieve its target of 3 million vehicles.

It is understood that this year, Zhengzhou Base, Hefei Changfeng Phase II, Shenzhen Shantou Project, Jinan Phase II and other projects will be put into production one after another. At that time, BYD will form 10 production bases, including Xi'an, Shenzhen Pingshan, Changsha, Changzhou, Fuzhou, Hefei Changfeng, Jinan, Zhengzhou, Xiangyang, and Shenshan Cooperation Zone, with an overall planned production capacity of more than 4 million vehicles.
