Yuchai and Shangchai intermittently stopped suppliers and obviously felt that the orders were reduced

Today, it is not an exaggeration to describe the economic crisis as a "tsunami".

“The time to arrange for a visit to Yuchai was advanced because the entire day was to be shut down.” A high-level source of Yuchai’s supplier revealed in a conversation with reporters. “Since October, we have been a long-term supplier of Yuchai. We have never received Yuchai's supply orders (on the eve of the press release, we finally received an order from Yuchai). Compared with the frequency of supply and supply of Yuchai in the past, this drop is very obvious. ."

As the leading engine manufacturer in China, Yuchai is also the largest independent diesel engine production base in the world and the largest production and export base for small and medium-sized construction machinery in China. In the past seven years, Yuchai has continuously achieved double-digit growth with its strong independent innovation capability. Now it has 37 wholly-owned, holding, and shareholding subsidiaries with 16,000 employees and total assets of 11.6 billion yuan.

"The financial crisis has come. Yuchai has started layoffs. This winter is particularly cold." Netizens who claim to be Yuchai employees sigh at a forum in Yulin.

So, what is the actual status of Yuchai? According to the rumors of suspension of production caused by the impact of the crisis, the reporter interviewed relevant persons from the Yuchai Enterprise Planning Department.

“Our working hours have been very normal, the production line has been operating normally, and we have not stopped production.” The relevant person in charge of the Planning Department said. After the reporter stated to him the above-mentioned supplier's response, he finally admitted: “There may be partial outages on the production line, which is also due to the delay caused by the supply of spare parts. This is a normal phenomenon.” Rejected further interviews with reporters.

For the recent situation of Yuchai, the reporter obtained more information from the logistics companies and related supporting enterprises for the transportation.

"Originally, the October-November period was the industrial peak season, but since the financial crisis, both Yuchai and Liugong have actually reduced their output substantially, so our logistics companies have also experienced a sharp decline in business volume," said a logistics company employee who declined to be named. . According to him, the major profit-making projects of its logistics companies come from Yuchai Group's engines, small-sized vehicles, and other accessories such as heavy machinery. In addition, Liugong’s heavy machinery transportation is also a heavy burden on them. The current slump in these two companies has made their working hours in the relevant departments completely boring.

Shenfeng Power is a processing company mainly for Yuchai. Its output value in 2008 is planned to be 300 million yuan. By the end of October, it had completed a sales income of 230 million yuan. “The main reason is that the production situation in the first half of the year is good, but the output will decline month by month from the second half of the year, and October is the month with the least installed capacity of Guangxi Yuchai in recent years.” Shenfeng Power related personnel said, “This leads directly to The company limited production and holidays, 'two shifts of production in three shifts, two shifts in one shift, one shift or rotation.'

“September is still normal. From October onwards, Yuchai suddenly felt the severity of the economic crisis. Demand has dropped significantly, and Yuchai’s suspension of production has decreased since then.” Yuchai’s total product planner Zhong Yuwei’s voice is very low. . According to him, Yuchai's current production is reduced by more than 20% from the same period of last year. Despite the delays in the parts and components suppliers supplying it, the main reason for the suspension of production is still a substantial drop in demand from vehicle manufacturers.

“Actually, the export market has a more serious impact on Yuchai than at home.” He is particularly slow in his tone. “Although Yuchai's overseas markets are mainly concentrated in Vietnam, Russia and other countries where the economic crisis has a direct impact, the importing countries are The tightening of corporate loan policies has significantly reduced Yuchai’s export trade orders.”

For Yuchai’s layoffs, he denied it. He also said that the wage standard has not changed, but only Yuchai workers use piece rate, and the production cut naturally leads to a decrease in employee income.

“The unfavorable situation of the economic crisis is not something a certain company can control. At present, Yuchai is only trying to develop new markets in order to expand production and sales.” In the face of such a deadlock, he reluctantly admitted that there is no other response.

"Shangchai also stopped production intermittently!" In the process of understanding Yuchai, the reporter was unexpectedly informed.
