How an Electric Vehicle Company Became the World's Largest Mask Manufacturer

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- BYD (Build Your Dreams) is sharing a new video telling the incredible story of how an electric vehicle manufacturer created the world's largest PPE face-mask plant.

The plant, created earlier this year, is now running at full capacity and is able to produce 50 million masks per day. This allows BYD to help alleviate severe shortages affecting hospitals and agencies across the globe due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

In late January, BYD began assisting production of masks and disinfection gels to tackle the growing COVID-19 outbreak. A special task force was appointed by BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu, consisting of leaders from different business divisions and more than 3,000 engineers involved in research and development, design, processing and other roles.

The task force moved with incredible speed, completing both the R&D and manufacturing process of mask-production equipment within seven days, as opposed to the normal length of 15 to 30 days to fully manufacture a mask-producing machine.
