Beijing News (Reporter Wu Tingting) With the arrival of the return peak, airlines not only do a daily "physical examination" for their planes, but also increase the replacement frequency of the "air purifier"-high efficiency particulate air filter (hereinafter referred to as "air filter") during the epidemic prevention and control period, which is like putting a mask on the plane. The reporter learned that at present, almost every plane returned from the epidemic-prone area of various airlines needs to replace the air filter immediately to ensure the clean air in the cabin.

　

The frequency of air filtration for aircraft replacement is accelerated.

On February 3, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued a notice, which made a number of requirements for epidemic prevention and control during the return trip. Among them, it was clearly proposed to clean the air conditioning system of the aircraft and increase the frequency of inspection and replacement of high-efficiency particulate air filters. In layman’s terms, HEPA is like an air purifier for home use, but this "air purifier" on the plane is more powerful than domestic equipment.

　

The relevant person in charge of China Southern Airlines said that this kind of air filtration on the plane can block the passage of 99.97% bacteria and virus particles, and the new filter material also has disinfection and sterilization functions. Sheng Liyao, director of the Fourth Workshop of Airbus Route Department of Hongqiao Maintenance Base of China Eastern Airlines Technology Company, introduced that the air in the aircraft cabin comes from two parts, one is fresh air, and the other is recycled cabin air, so the high-efficiency particulate air filtration can keep the air in the cabin fresh and clean.

　

Although the aircraft air filtration function is powerful, it still cannot be taken lightly in the face of epidemic prevention and control. Sheng Liyao said that since New Year’s Eve, all the planes of China Eastern Airlines flying to epidemic-prone areas and transporting medical staff to Wuhan and other places need to be replaced. Only today, in Hongqiao Airport, Sheng Lihao replaced the air filters for seven Airbus aircraft of China Eastern Airlines. "This does not include Pudong Airport and Boeing aircraft with air filters."

　

Liu Liwei, the relevant person in charge of the epidemic prevention and control office of China United Airlines, said that all the flights of the company returning to Beijing from the epidemic-prone areas will be replaced in time. "It used to be replaced regularly, but now it is changed when it flies back."

　

The relevant person in charge of China Southern Airlines also said that the cabin recirculation system of China Southern Airlines fleet is equipped with high-efficiency particulate air filter, and it is regularly replaced. The current effective measures are enough to ensure the air freshness and cleanliness of the recirculation system.

The crew put on protective clothing to ventilate the plane.

　

Sheng Linghao told reporters that taking the Airbus model as an example, the Airbus 320 model has two air filters and the Airbus 330 model has eight air filters. With the increase of the frequency of replacing the air filter, the work intensity of the crew is also increasing, and in this special period, the crew also needs to wear protective clothing and goggles to replace the air filter for the aircraft.

　

On January 28th, Wu Yan, the release officer of China Eastern Airlines Technology Sichuan Branch, volunteered to disinfect three planes in depth and replace the air filter for the recirculation fan of the air conditioning system. Because of the special situation of the aircraft, it is necessary to minimize the impurities left in the air on the air filter, and the crew must be more cautious and careful.

　

Wu Mi recalled that he and Feng Zhang, the maintenance personnel, had carefully prepared for technical disposal and had in-depth exchanges with epidemic prevention personnel. Subsequently, they put on protective clothing, protective glasses, masks and gloves, and began to replace the air filter. The cargo hold of Boeing 737 is relatively closed, stuffy and unventilated, and the space is narrow, so it can only squat on the floor when working. When replacing the air filter, in order to make the impurities on the air filter not remain in the air as much as possible, they dared not be careless, and assembled and disassembled it more carefully and cautiously. With full preparation and superb technical ability, the work was completed one hour ahead of schedule.

　

The reporter also learned from China Southern Airlines that during the epidemic prevention and control period, all the crew members put on protective clothing to replace the air filter.

The cabin is completely disinfected without leaving any dead ends.

　

In view of the return peak, the Civil Aviation Administration proposed to increase the frequency of deep cleaning and disinfection of aircraft cabins and cockpits. The reporter learned from many airlines, such as China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air China and China United Airlines, that all companies have formulated cabin disinfection plans. Take China United Airlines as an example. At present, the company has 52 flights at Daxing Airport. After disembarking on each flight segment, the flight attendants will disinfect the cabin models. In addition, China United Airlines also hired a professional company to deeply disinfect the aircraft, and has already deeply disinfected all flights. Liu Liwei introduced that because the cockpit is very important, the disinfection here is done by the crew.

　

During the epidemic period, the fleet of China Southern Airlines increased the frequency of disinfection and clarified the disinfection standards. The disinfection scope was stipulated in the plan, including aircraft cabin space, toilets, garbage rooms, etc., and detailed provisions were made in terms of disinfection personnel, medicines, equipment, protective articles, disinfection methods and procedures.

　

Air China’s fleet has also increased the frequency of disinfection. In the post-flight cleaning operation of each aircraft, preventive disinfection is carried out for every place that passengers and crew can touch, including cockpit, cabin small table board, seat armrest, porthole sun visor, luggage rack and toilet. In view of the fever passengers on the plane or the flight carrying out the emergency charter mission to Wuhan, after receiving the notice, the epidemic prevention personnel of Air China immediately boarded the plane to carry out atomization emergency disinfection of the cabin environment.

With the spirit of’unyielding, only first ‘, we will adhere to a blueprint to the end and contribute to building an automotive power," Lu Fang said.

　　Lowering the price threshold impulse with the help of domestic production is the choice of many foreign brands in the Chinese market. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other first-line German luxury brands are no exception, but Lexus from Toyota is an exception. Although it has a high voice for domestic production, it has repeatedly disappointed Chinese consumers. Compared with the competitiveness gained by low prices, Lexus is more willing to impress consumers with quality and service. For a luxury brand, this is a virtuous circle, which can increase sales and the brand together.

　　Sales in March increased by 36.9% year-on-year, and 38,333 vehicles were sold in the first quarter

　　Winning by quality rather than by low price is the way Lexus plays, and from the market feedback, it has gained consumer recognition. According to data, Lexus sold 14,713 vehicles in China in March, an increase of 36.9% compared with the same period last year, setting a record monthly sales volume in China.

　　The good news for Lexus is not only the increase in overall sales, but also the significant increase in the proportion of hybrid models in total sales. In March, Lexus sold 5048 hybrid models, accounting for 34.3% of total sales, which also shows that Lexus is not a brand that relies on low-end models. According to previously released data, as of the end of January 2018, the total sales of Lexus hybrid models in China have exceeded 150,000.

　　Beijing Auto Show launches two new SUV RX L to join hands with crossover UX

　　Although Lexus is not enthusiastic about the domestic production, it has kept the Chinese market in step with overseas markets when it comes to the launch of new models. At the upcoming Beijing Auto Show, Lexus will introduce two new SUVs, the RX L and the UX, which will further enrich Lexus’ product line in China.

　　The Lexus RX L released at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of November last year can be understood as an extended version of RX. It increases the length of the prototype car by 110mm to 5000mm, and the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2790mm. The increase in body length allows it to arrange the third row of seats and provide 2 + 3 + 2 and 2 + 2 + 2 layouts. In terms of power system, the RX L imported to the Chinese market will remain the same as the previous RX. With the landing of the Lexus RX L, the domestic 7-seat luxury mid-sized city SUV market also has one more choice. According to the analysis of the purchase characteristics of domestic consumers, the financial industry believes that the RX L will surpass the RX in sales in the future.

　　A month ago at the Geneva Motor Show, Lexus released the new crossover UX. As a family entry-level SUV, it is based on the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. The length, width and height are 4495mm, 1840mm, 1520mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640mm. Although it is not a large size, it also reaches the average level of the same class of cars. It is not a problem to meet the space needs of the target customer group. In terms of power system, the UX has 2.0L naturally aspirated and hybrid models to choose from, and these two power models will also enter the Chinese market in the future. Judging from the current domestic luxury compact crossover market share, it should not be surprising that the Lexus UV will hand over 4 to 50,000 vehicles per year in the future.

　　Will the new generation of ES, the most talked-about big name, make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show?

　　In addition to the two new SUVs announced above, the new generation ES is more of a concern for consumers, because it is Lexus’ sales champion in the Chinese market. Like the new generation of Toyota Asian Dragon that has been released at the North American Auto Show, the new generation ES also comes from Toyota’s TNGA architecture. According to the body size of the new Asian Dragon, the financial industry believes that the body length of the new generation ES will be close to 5000mm and the wheelbase will reach 2870mm; compared with the current model, there will be a certain improvement. In terms of powertrain, it will have 2.5L, 3.5L naturally aspirated and hybrid models to choose from, and the models suitable for the Chinese market are 2.5L naturally aspirated and hybrid models. In addition to the traditional front-drive model, the new ES will also have a four-wheel drive version and add a sports version at the same time to make up for the vacancy left by the GS after the delisting.

　　Will the new generation ES make its world debut at the Beijing Auto Show? It is very likely that not only have netizens exposed spy photos of it conducting road tests in China before, but also its front design style is similar to that of the new LS, and the overall contour will also adopt a coupe-style design to highlight the younger positioning.

　　Replacing domestic production with accurate pricing of card positions, Lexus is on the right path

　　Although many people believe that Lexus will perform better after being domestically produced, the continued increase in sales makes it unlikely to choose domestic production in the short term.

　　Lexus can still have a good performance even if it is not domestically produced, and the accurate pricing card position is indispensable. The starting price of the main sales model ES is 298,000 yuan, which is comparable to the same level of cars of domestic German luxury brands. For the same money, Lexus can get original imports, which makes many people accept that the 0~ 100km/h acceleration of ES is 2s slower than that of German cars of the same level. In terms of after-sales services, reliability, and car maintenance costs, Lexus also has more advantages than German brands, which not only helps to improve sales, but also obtains a good brand reputation and word-of-mouth accumulation, which is also an important reason why Lexus is not dominant in price but has good sales performance.

　　With the addition of two new SUVs and the replacement of ES, Lexus’ product series in China will be further strengthened. Judging from the market performance in the first quarter of this year, Lexus should be able to easily complete the 160,000 sales target set at the beginning of the year and launch a sprint towards annual sales of 180,000 vehicles.

The dealer’s "forcing the palace" incident continued to ferment, and Porsche finally "couldn’t sit still".

On May 27, Porsche China issued an official statement, although it did not explicitly state the conflict with the dealer, it obliquely revealed its discussions with the dealer in many areas, including business policy, electrification transformation, and so on.

The discussion is multifaceted.

This newspaper previously reported on Porsche dealers’ "forcing the palace" (for details, see: Porsche’s "unable to sell" intensifies contradictions, dealers collectively "forcing the palace"?).

The cause of the incident was that, in the context of the increasingly volatile car market, Porsche China chose to press the dealer’s warehouse in order to complete the sales task. However, the pressure on the warehouse posed a huge financial pressure on some dealers, causing the contradiction between Porsche and some dealers to intensify. Some dealers stopped picking up cars and asked Porsche headquarters to provide subsidies while replacing relevant executives.

On May 27, Porsche China released the joint statement of Porsche China and all authorized dealers, "To clear the clouds, to see the right, and to move forward."

In its statement, Porsche China did not explicitly mention the "palace" incident, but said vaguely: "Porsche China and dealers are jointly facing a number of complex issues, with both opportunities and challenges. We understand and thank you for the concerns expressed recently about our partnership and future development."

Porsche China said that during the period of industry change and transformation, automakers must always actively listen to the voices of dealers from the front line. Only by cooperating more closely and supporting each other can manufacturers and dealers better meet the needs of Chinese consumers according to local conditions.

According to previous industry revelations, Porsche headquarters had dispatched a survey team to China to investigate the problems existing in the Chinese market. In this statement, Porsche China also mentioned that it has fully discussed with dealers to find effective ways to actively respond to market changes.

"These discussions cover a number of key areas, including but not limited to commercial policy, local customer insights, Client Server and the electrification transition," Porsche China said.

Small and medium-sized dealers’ demands are difficult to meet

In fact, the reporter further learned from informed sources that the contradiction between the luxury car brand and the dealer is mainly due to the disagreement between the three dealers of Xinfengtai, Badley and Meidong Group over the sales task, which has not been properly resolved so far.

Porsche’s sales in China have slumped so sharply this year that it has had to introduce unprecedented discounts to the market.

According to the reporter, for the lowest price Porsche Macan models (entry price 578,000 yuan), many Porsche centers in Shenzhen have released huge discounts. Among them, the discount rate of many Porsche centers is as high as 170,000 yuan, which also makes the low entry price of the model has dropped to about 400,000 yuan, directly competing with some new power brand models including NIO and Ideal.

Porsche’s second pure electric car series, the new pure electric Macan, has been officially launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, with a suggested retail price of 728,000 yuan. In less than a month, the end point has seen a discount of more than 80,000 yuan. According to a Porsche Center in Shenzhen, its first new energy model Taycan is currently discounted by up to 200,000 yuan (the recommended retail price for the entry model is 1.008 million yuan).

The significant release of discounts means that dealers’ profits have plummeted, or even suffered losses.

It is reported that the precondition for the above-mentioned dealer investors to sign the agreement is that Porsche China will compensate for the loss of sales of new cars. Among them, Meidong Group requires a subsidy of 1 point of gross profit for new cars; Budley Group and other dealers rely on the Automobile Dealers Association to send a letter, asking for a subsidy of 4 points of gross profit.

However, according to the above-mentioned sources, Porsche places more emphasis on large dealer groups such as Baoaijie and Jebsen, and the above three dealers are not Porsche’s core dealers in China, and their demands have not received a timely response from Porsche China.

It is reported that Meidong Group has 16 Porsche dealership stores across the country, mostly concentrated in second-tier and lower-tier cities; Xinfengtai and Battery are both about 5, and they are also not deeply involved in first-tier cities.

By contrast, Baoaijie, a wholly owned subsidiary of Porsche Holding Salzburg, part of Germany’s Volkswagen Group, has 18 Porsche stores in China, mostly in first-tier cities. Jebsen introduced Porsche to China in 2001 and now has 21 Porsche sales and after-sales services outlets in eight first-tier cities.

Earlier, a dealer who did not want to be named also confirmed to reporters that "some newly established and small dealerships may experience greater operating pressure, while larger dealerships are slightly better off."

Go big on electrification

In fact, Porsche joining the army of price cuts will not only affect dealer profits, but also affect the value of used cars. As a "luxury" in the automobile consumer market, the decline in Porsche’s value will increase the wait-and-see mood of consumers holding currency.

According to a report released by the China Automobile Dealers Association, Por*********till the most valuable luxury car brand, but its value preservation rate has dropped from 83.1% in one year to 76.7% year-on-year. According to the 2024 consumer insights report released by McKinsey, about half of consumers are no longer willing to pay a premium for foreign brands.

It is worth noting that under the dual pressure of sales pressure and profit decline, Porsche dealers have chosen to withdraw from the network. In March this year, Porsche China’s 100th sales outlet, Guangzhou Tianhuan Plaza, which belongs to Jebsen Group, closed its stores.

And Porsche is also trying to turn things around with a big push, especially a big electrification transition. This year is also the year when Porsche launched the most new products.

According to the plan, Porsche plans to introduce no less than four new or significantly revamped models to the market in 2024, including the Panamera, Macan, Taycan, and 911 models.

Among them, the pure electric Macan and the new Taycan have been officially launched in the Chinese market. At the same time, Porsche will strive to sell 80% of new cars as pure electric models in 2030, and plans to invest 20 billion euros in digitalization in the next five years.
