5.12 Sichuan Wenchuan Earthquake, although most of the auto companies in Sichuan area were in danger and gradually resumed production, the economic development and industrial system in this area are facing a serious test. In particular, this earthquake will affect the automobile production companies in Sichuan and Chongqing in a short period of time. However, some economists point out that the overall impact on the domestic auto market will be limited and will not be greater than the snowstorm at the beginning of the year.
There is no major change in car sales in Chengdu
It is understood that Changan Automobile Group, Chang'an Ford, Changan Mazda, Changan Suzuki, Chongqing Lifan and other key domestic automobile companies in the northern district of Chongqing have not been devastated and production is still proceeding as usual. At present, the dealers in the southwestern region are the most affected, and the dealers affected by the disaster, such as Mianyang and Mianzhu, are already shut down. However, the actual impact is not yet apparent.
As far as the degree of impact of Chengdu and Chongqing urban auto business districts is not deep, they are still in normal operation. Li Hongliang, Service Manager of GAC Toyota Sanhe New Element Store at Chengdu Airport Road Auto Business Circle said: “From May 12th till now, our shop has not ceased operations. First, because many customers have made reservations to visit the shop to repair vehicles. It was the urban shopping district that was not affected by the earthquake and did not affect business."
According to Li Hongliang, at present, the Chengdu Airport Road auto business district is gradually returning to business, although the amount of sales of the vehicle has dropped slightly, the number of people who visit the store to see the car is slightly reduced, but the overall change is not great, such as the current maintenance into the store The number of stations can be maintained at about 40 vehicles, and there is no significant drop from the 50 vehicles before the earthquake. As for the supply of parts, inventory can still be maintained for a period of time. If the parts transportation is not affected by disaster relief logistics, the problem is not significant.
Sichuan-Chongqing car companies temporarily affected
Analyst Jia Xinguang believes that at present, the regional automobile industry in the northwest region may continue to be affected for some time. However, for commercial vehicles, it is a market situation that is increasing rapidly. “The reconstruction task in the later stages of the earthquake relief is heavy and important. At this time, the role of commercial vehicle plates will be highlighted. Because reconstruction needs to be quickly recharged by transportation forces, such as building materials, materials, and personnel to move and transport.†It is understood that there are currently about five or six. Ten thousand commercial vehicles are responsible for the transportation in the disaster-stricken areas in Sichuan, and will also increase in the future.
Jia Xinguang stated that the factors affecting the nationwide auto market after the disaster are complex, and either rising or falling cannot be viewed in a single way. For example, there is a Brilliance engine plant in Mianyang City, and the Brilliance plant where the engine produced is sent to other regions may be affected. Chongqing manufacturers may also have some impact on vehicle production. Parts supply will also be a bit tight in the short term, but this tension will not last long. At present, the auto companies in Sichuan and Chongqing are only temporarily affected, and they will definitely not delay the national market.
In the short term, the development of passenger vehicles in the country will not be affected basically. However, manufacturers' sales in May will certainly be subject to certain restrictions, mainly due to the decline in regional retail sales and the delay in the listing of new products.
