AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/13 Report--

In mid-September this year, there was a notice on the Internet about the attendance time adjustment notice of Fujian Automotive Industry Group Yundu New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., and a notice about adjusting the attendance of Yun Gong in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The notice makes it clear that Yundu New Energy implements the man-hour system of "part normal work, part rotation rest, part full rest", in which the marketing center will be implemented from September 16, 2019, and other centers from October 1, 2019 until the end of this year.

In response to this matter, Yundu New Energy responded, saying that the online rumor that Yundu took a full break is not true, and that all workshops in the Yundu factory are starting production normally. It also said that individual consumers, major customers and some government agencies are all taking orders one after another, so Yundu will not and cannot take a full rest.

In fact, Yundu New Energy has also been exposed that the factory is in difficulties such as frequent turnover of workers and forced employees to take leave. Since January this year, Yundu New Energy has forced employees to take two months off because there is no business. The basic security of employees is not satisfied, some employees have taken up part-time jobs, life is more difficult.

In this regard, Zhou Liang, head of Yundu New Energy Public Relations, also responded that the news is not true, the enterprise is in normal operation, and new models will be launched in the second half of the year. It also said that under the premise of ensuring supply, the factory gave employees an extra half-month holiday before and after the Spring Festival, so there was no case of compulsory leave. At present, the company has more than 1100 people, including about 400 to 500 workers and about 700 R & D personnel.

However, some media went to Yundu New Energy's factory in Hanjiang District, Putian City, Fujian Province two months ago, and insiders learned that there were about 700, 000 people in the factory, but now only 200, 300 people are left to work. And several factory staff mentioned that the factory is still in operation, but compared with last year, the overall work of the factory is more idle this year.

As for the frequent incidents, it has something to do with the overall market environment and its sales volume. With the decline of new energy subsidies in 2019, the pressure of new forces in car-building has increased, and Yundu New Energy is no exception. According to the latest data released by the Federation of passengers, sales of new energy narrow passenger vehicles in September were 61000, down 34.8% from the same period last year, and 4.2% from the previous month. The cumulative sales volume from January to September increased by 28.9%, and the cumulative growth rate accelerated to decline. Sales have been falling for three months in a row.

What's more, the proportion of new power cars in the overall new energy is very small. In the first half of 2019, the sales of new power brands accounted for 9% of the total sales of new energy pure electric vehicles, and the three major brands, NIO, Weimar and Xiaopeng, accounted for the majority. Even synchronous new power car companies such as NIO, Xiaopeng and Weima have been greatly affected, while Yundu, as a well-known car company, has a greater impact on natural sales.

In addition, on August 11, 2019, a cloud degree π 3 caught fire spontaneously in Nanning, Guangxi. A day later, Yundu New Energy officially set up an accident investigation team to investigate the incident. However, it has not yet been found that Yundu New Energy has announced the results of the survey. In addition, there are endless complaints about improper service range, brake failure, inability to recharge and so on. In August, sales of its two models, π 3 and π 1, were only 7 and 21, respectively, accounting for less than 1% of the market.

The cumulative sales in the first half of this year were only 1383, and at a time when all automakers were preparing for the top ten cars in Nine Bank, Yundu hit an all-time low, selling just 28 in August.

At the same time, however, Yundu New Energy will also open up the market for shared travel. Yundu New Energy said that at present, many travel companies and government enterprises give priority to buying new energy vehicles. Yundu has a rich product system, and a series of orders are under negotiation to calmly deal with the increasingly fierce competitive environment.

The replacement of new energy and the overall environment of the car market limit the rapid development of new energy vehicles to a certain extent, but the problems of Yundu vehicles are far more than these factors. Even if the use of employee leave to reduce costs can help enterprises to meet urgent needs, but for the long-term development, improve the product strength to get rid of glumes, so as to survive.
