BYD in China is also a car supplier who is making masks. I think This is a great step to protect their country.

Avec la clim 😂 On est mal patron si BM se met à fabriquer des masques 😱😱😱😱

Thank god....hope they keep them for Germany only, just like the US is! But I know, the rest of the world is bigger than that!

They just want to make news and nothing else

👏👏👏👏

Diversification of business... From car to masks🙄

So bad r the emissions of its cars that u need a mask to drive m

Finally corporate are realizing without customer they also die.. but will they get over the immediate profit motive?

German masks? No thanks, waiting for maskgate

Fitted with Takatas...?

Finally!

Great! There are a lot of spoils we don't need now and these companies can make shit we want using a pandemic. Had a local metal working company here stop normal production and start production of face shields and all that kind of stuff for hospitals super early.

Capacity matters.

I hope these masks aren’t as ‘premium’ as their other offerings !

I prefer Benz masks😎

Just another way to make lots of money
