Explanation on the relevant situation of Beijing Parts Center

The spare parts center of Daimler Northeast Asia Parts Trading Service Co., Ltd., located in Shunyi District, Beijing, is responsible for the warehousing and distribution of parts for Mercedes-Benz's after-sales business in the northern region.

From December 26 to 28, several warehouse employees in the parts center were successively diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia due to asymptomatic infections imported from abroad. After receiving the notification from the Shunyi District Disease Control Department of Beijing, our company immediately quarantined all relevant personnel as required and activated the emergency response mechanism. At the same time, we actively cooperated with the anti-epidemic department to conduct nucleic acid testing on all relevant staff at the fastest speed, and conduct sampling, testing and disinfection on related sites. At present, only some environmental samples of the workplace have been tested positive for the new coronavirus nucleic acid, and they have been determined to be environmental pollution caused by confirmed cases. According to investigations by relevant departments, the possibility of spreading the virus through imported goods has been basically ruled out.

In addition, we actively cooperated with relevant anti-epidemic departments to conduct inspections and investigations on the relevant distributors supplied by the spare parts center. In order to further prevent potential risks, our company and related parties have jointly decided to take the initiative to temporarily close some retail outlets in Beijing from now on, and fully cooperate with the local disease control department to detect and completely eliminate all staff, goods and business premises. After joint testing and confirmation with the local disease control department, each authorized dealer will gradually resume business to ensure the safety of employees and customers. All dealers in Beijing have carried out a full-staff nucleic acid test, and all the samples of the personnel have been negative.

At the same time, our company also actively cooperates with other companies in the group to expand the scope of testing to further ensure safety. After testing, the nucleic acid test results of all employees of our company in accessory centers across the country are negative; the nucleic acid test results of all employees of our company in Wangjing are negative; the nucleic acid test results of all employees of the group are negative.

In order to eliminate potential risks, our company reiterated that we will take all necessary measures to cooperate with the relevant government departments in the prevention and control of the epidemic, conduct thorough investigations, and block the spread of the epidemic to the greatest extent. Let the society and car owners feel at ease.
