It's too late to buy a car? Rent a car?

Compared with the crowded bus and subway, driving can minimize the chances of cross-contact, but for those who haven't bought a car, renting a car is an important complementary way to return to work and travel safely.

A few days ago, the Peng car under the "Peng travel" took the lead in the city of Guangzhou launched a "personal rental" business, the rent is as low as 900 yuan / week, but also enjoy the Peng car in February 9 - March 8, the first month of the resumption of work in the charging of a limited free of charge preferential!

According to the report, the company's charging system has been in operation for a long time.

It is understood that the leasing activity models for the Peng G3?2019 Smart Edition and Premium Edition, the rental period is flexible, from 1 week to 12 months rental period to choose from. Vehicle rental has included the required insurance costs, no need to pay extra (first-time rental users are able to get 300 yuan cash bonus).

You must be concerned, are these vehicles hygienic? Have they been disinfected inside and out? The relevant person in charge of Xiaopeng Automobile said, this is used for the "personal rental" business of all travel vehicles, Roc travel will be carefully disinfected to ensure that the vehicle can be handed over to the hands of the user can rest assured that the use of the vehicle. At the same time, will also be prepared for the rental car users intimate vehicle epidemic disinfection guide, guide the user to the correct disinfection, good protective measures.

In addition to Xiaopeng, Shenzhou Rent-A-Car has also launched a "no-touch weekly rental package" (weekly special price of 350 yuan), which allows users to pick up and return the car through the Shenzhou Rent-A-Car APP self-service operation, with no contact with the personnel in the whole process. Shenzhou Rent-A-Car promises that every car will be fully and meticulously sanitized after the user returns the car and before the next user picks it up.

Shouzhou Rent-A-Car, for corporate users, will equip drivers with protective materials such as masks, disinfection equipment, disinfectant, disinfectant tablets, etc.; it will also provide appropriate reduction and exemption policies for individual user orders affected by the epidemic, and will fully disinfect normally operating short-term rental stores daily, and operate vehicles that are fully disinfected before each user picks up the car, and after each user returns the car.

It's true that almost all car rental platforms have launched certain preferential policies during this period, but I believe that companies that do a solid job of protecting themselves and sanitizing their vehicles are more popular with consumers. The BEIJING brand has launched five anti-epidemic measures together with DDT, Shouqi, Jingjie New Energy and other platforms to unify and guide the anti-epidemic work of online taxi drivers, providing free N95 masks and disinfectant for more than 17,000 online taxi drivers in 28 cities, including Taiyuan, Wenzhou, Hangzhou and so on, to escort the drivers and passengers' journeys with attentive services.

Self-masked models are on the way

Many industry insiders have analyzed that even after the outbreak, everyone buying a car will look more favorably on those with highly efficient air-purifying features.

A few days ago, we believe we have heard the news that Geely has taken the lead in proposing to build the country's first real N95 mask-level standard in-vehicle purification system -- IAPS Intelligent Air Purification System (Intelligent?air?purification?system), which is said to use high-efficiency composite air-conditioning filtration system. It is said that the system uses high-efficiency composite air-conditioning filter, can be intelligent and fast purification of the air inside the car, especially for the diameter greater than 0.74 micron droplets have a better filtration effect, to achieve "N95 mask level" purification effect. Geely said it will strive to complete the research and development of the intelligent air purification system within 20 days, and will realize mass production in 30 days, the first batch of products will be the first to be equipped with Geely car donated to the infected areas of the 150 Jiaji to the epidemic prevention and control of front-line staff to provide a healthy and safe mobile space.

According to the latest news, Geely Automobile has also announced that it will invest 370 million yuan upfront in the development of an all-around healthy version of the Yinglun TX model, which will be equipped with features such as sterilization and disinfection, and will ensure passenger safety and security through a fully closed The vehicle will be equipped with features such as sterilization, and the safety of passengers and drivers will be ensured through a fully enclosed double cabin setup.

Of course, those automobile brands that have equipped their vehicles with efficient air conditioning filtration systems in advance are also full of confidence at this time, for example, the new MG6, MG6 new energy, MGHS and other models are equipped with high-efficiency PM2.5 air conditioning filters (the filtration efficiency of 0.5um to 5um particles that spread droplet nuclei and coronavirus is up to 95% or more), anion generators and independent air purifiers (1-hour sterilizers), as well as a new air purifier.
