With the continuous expansion of the epidemic in Shanghai, more and more automobile manufacturers and suppliers have been affected. According to relevant media reports, anbofu, a well-known auto parts manufacturer, recently announced that some of its factories in Shanghai would suspend production and workers would be isolated at home.

Although the automobile harness is a less "conspicuous" accessory in the automobile, it directly affects the reliability, functionality, safety and other aspects of the automobile. It is the network main body of the automobile circuit and the basis for the electrification and intelligence of the automobile.

In addition to the electrical harness, the traces of "Harness" can be seen in all parts of the body, ranging from engine harness, chassis harness, air conditioning system harness and lighting system harness to seat bottom and sunroof internal harness. It can be said that the importance of automobile harness to automobile is no less than human "blood vessel".

Because it is necessary to ensure the efficiency, safety and reliability of automobile electronic signal transmission. Most automobile brands have a set of wire harness supply system with strict requirements. Globally, the more famous wire harness suppliers include Japan Yazaki, Sumitomo Electric, Fujikura, South Korea Jingxin, as well as Lenny, dexmir and other brands from Europe and America. In China, anbofu is one of the few high-quality wire harness suppliers that can pass stringent screening standards.

It is unclear how long the shutdown caused by the epidemic will last, but it will certainly have a further negative impact on the automotive industry. As of April 1, 365 newly confirmed cases and 4145 asymptomatic infections have been added in Shanghai. The turning point of epidemic relief has not yet come, and Puxi area of Shanghai began closed management on the same day.

It is reported that affected by many factors such as epidemic prevention policies and difficulties in purchasing parts, SAIC Volkswagen also announced on March 31 that some of its factories in Shanghai would suspend production, and the official has not given exact information on when to resume work.

Tesla, which had previously been shut down due to the epidemic, shut down its Shanghai plant again on March 28, which is expected to last about four days. SAIC GM also began to implement strict epidemic prevention measures inside its plant due to the closed management in Pudong, which does not rule out the possibility of shutdown in the next few days.

As we all know, affected by the decline of subsidies for new energy vehicles and the shortage of raw material supply, many new energy vehicle manufacturers have raised the price of their models since last month, and Tesla has raised the price three times in half a month. The soaring car price has bred the scalper business of "reselling orders for new energy vehicles", which also makes consumers who just need cars miserable.
