At the beginning of the outbreak of the new coronavirus, BYD, a Chinese car company that quickly switched to masks, has rapidly increased its mask production capacity as the global epidemic changes.
According to BYD, as of April 17, the daily output of BYD masks has reached 20 million, which is equivalent to 231 masks off the production line of BYD masks per second.
At present, BYD Group has built 300 mask production lines. Due to the need for epidemic prevention and control at home and abroad, it is still increasing production at a rate of 1 million to 2 million masks per day.
In addition to being the leading car company in domestic new energy, BYD has also become "the world's largest mask manufacturer."
After meeting the Chinese demand, BYD masks also began to export to the world.
Last week, California and BYD signed a huge mask order worth US $1 billion.ย BYD supplies approximately 200 million masks to California each month, most of which are N95 masks with a higher protection level.
In addition, in the beginning of this month, Japan โs richest man and Softbank founder Sun Zhengyi announced that they had reached a cooperation agreement with China โs BYD, and began to supply 300 million masks per month to the Japanese market in May.
