Frontline of new crown pneumonia epidemic
Hubei Province is the main auto parts supplier of FAW Group. After the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the supply of auto parts was insufficient. In mid-to-late February, FAW Group fully resumed production and restarted production. However, due to insufficient supply of parts and components, FAW Jiefang, FAW Car, and FAW-Volkswagen were forced to suspend production for spare parts. After receiving the demand list from FAW Car, the Ministry of Transport coordinated the National Railway Group to undertake emergency transportation tasks. The first batch of auto parts urgently needed for the resumption of production and restart of FAW Car will arrive in Changchun on March 9th, and plans for the loading and transportation of other auto parts are being formulated.
