“60天账期”车企执行有差异，有供应商还没拿到钱

Core Viewpoint - The automotive industry is experiencing a shift towards a standardized payment term of 60 days for suppliers, initiated by 17 major car manufacturers, although challenges remain in fully implementing this commitment [1][6][21]. Group 1: Payment Terms and Supplier Experience - Suppliers report some improvement in payment cycles, but the full realization of the "60-day payment term" is still problematic due to uncertainties in project completion and acceptance processes [2][9][10]. - A survey indicates that 50% of suppliers are concerned about the sustainability of the 60-day payment term, highlighting a gap between policy and execution [11][15]. - The payment speed has shown positive changes, with 83.33% of suppliers noting slight improvements, and 33.33% reporting significant reductions in financial pressure [13]. Group 2: Regulatory and Industry Response - The implementation of the "60-day payment term" aligns with the "Regulations on Ensuring Payment to Small and Medium Enterprises," which took effect on June 1 [6][21]. - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is actively promoting compliance with the 60-day payment commitment among major automotive companies, with some firms already achieving significant reductions in payment cycles [22][23]. - Companies like Chery and China FAW have adopted measures to streamline payment processes, with Chery reducing average payment terms to 47 days through various strategies [23]. Group 3: Challenges and Concerns - Despite improvements, suppliers express concerns about potential delays in payment due to ambiguous contract terms and varying interpretations of the payment start date [18][25]. - The use of commercial acceptance bills has not been entirely eliminated, with 66.67% of suppliers indicating that while usage has decreased, it still exists [14]. - Industry experts warn that the shift to shorter payment cycles may pressure manufacturers' cash flow, necessitating better financial management to avoid passing costs back to suppliers [24][27].
