Recently, when reporters communicated with many home appliance dealers and logistics company leaders, they found that they all mentioned a new type of transportation mode - container transportation.
The box transport mode can effectively improve vehicle utilization. It is understood that the box transport is widely used in Europe (especially Germany, France). In the local area, many trucks will haul one or two or more cars. After arriving at the destination, the truck will detain the cargo boxes carried by the trucks, and then tow other containers to return to the original place or to the new destination. . This type of transportation is called "box transportation."
â— Flexible and efficient utilization improvement Compared with the hanging method, the advantages of the box transportation are more obvious. First of all, the hang-up transport is generally a tractor trailer, which implements “one for oneâ€. And the transportation of the container can achieve “one-to-n†when the law permits, and the transportation method is more efficient. Secondly, the container used in the container transport has four foldable “legsâ€. The box can be separated from the vehicle chassis and placed in the loading and unloading area independently. It is more convenient and flexible than hanging. In addition, the goods transported in the box can be “installed first and then unloadedâ€, and the exchange operation time can be greatly shortened. At the same time, since one car can drag multiple exchange boxes, the boxes can be divided according to the destination to realize the transportation along the way, which greatly improves the transportation efficiency.
What is more worth mentioning is that, because the waiting time of vehicles is greatly shortened, the transportation of the box can also effectively improve the utilization rate of vehicles, reduce the number of vehicles in use, reduce fuel consumption to a certain extent, and achieve energy saving and emission reduction.
Nowadays, the situation of China's logistics market is complex and changeable. The shortage of supply and fierce competition within the industry have made logistics companies more aware of the importance of efficiency. At the same time, after the logistics enterprises compete to a certain extent, simple measures can no longer meet the needs of enterprises to improve their performance and profits, and they begin to explore deeper changes. Therefore, the new efficient transportation mode of container transportation has begun to enter the field of e-commerce and logistics enterprises.
"We have had contact with the government and automobile manufacturers. They are more recognized for the transportation mode of the container. At present, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Public Security are also conducting research on the transportation mode of the container. I believe that China will open this efficiency soon. Transportation mode." Jingdong, director of the Transportation Management Department of Jingdong Distribution Department, said.
"At present, whether the user, the manufacturer or the government are promoting this matter, it is expected that there will be results this year. As for the national opening or the regional pilot, there is no final conclusion yet." A person in charge of a logistics company in Beijing said.
Kong Zhen, senior manager of the marketing department of Daejeon Logistics Group, believes that nowadays, in the case of a sluggish logistics market, logistics companies need a way to save costs and use resources efficiently, and container transportation can do both. Combined. In addition, the container transport mode can also play a positive role in reducing carbon emissions. From these aspects, logistics companies hope that the government will promote this model.
“As a car company, we are also doing research in this area, and we have also communicated with the manufacturers. We will further carry out the research and development of the box transport model.†Vice President and Sales of Shaanxi Heavy Truck Automotive Engineering Research Institute Shao Guoqiang, chief engineer of the company, said.
â— The status quo of the primary stage restricts development As an advanced and efficient form of transportation, container transportation has many advantages, but why has this model been not effectively promoted? What is the shackle of the development of container transport?
In Kong Zhen's view, the reason why China does not popularize the transportation of the box is mainly because the Chinese logistics market is still in a state of “cutting the dataâ€. "At present, China's logistics market is separated by various forms of ownership. At the same time, there are regional logistics enterprises in different regions. There are many divisions and it is difficult to integrate effectively. In addition, China's transportation organization is not high, and logistics enterprises are presented as small. According to statistics, among the national road freight industry households, individual transport industry accounts for about 90%, and the road transport industry lacks large freight enterprises. This state is not conducive to the development of container transport.†Kong Zhen said .
Gao Weizhi, vice president of China Railway Logistics Group Co., Ltd. believes that the premise of using the box transportation method is to have a stable and sufficient business volume. At present, China's logistics market is still in the primary development stage. Due to the low barriers to entry, it is still dominated by small and medium-sized logistics enterprises and retail investors. They have less business volume and are still in a state of seeking survival. The most basic condition for the transportation of the container is to ensure that the two ends are in stock. If it is only for temporary customers, it is difficult and uneconomical to transport in the box.
In addition, the transportation of the container has high requirements for the transportation company's hardware and software, such as the vehicle, loading and unloading level and the location requirements. Among them, the most important thing is that the transportation of the container requires the operation site. In recent years, the land cost has risen sharply, and the land acquisition is very difficult. If there is no suitable operation site, the transportation of the container cannot be discussed. According to the current development model of Chinese logistics enterprises, if the new transportation mode is used to consume high funds, it will not meet the short-term development goals of transportation enterprises.
“At the same time, the requirements of the container transportation mode for the production management organization of the enterprise will be greatly improved. However, the traditional logistics enterprises still have no experience in the efficient transportation mode such as the box transportation, and it is also a problem to adapt quickly after the technical improvement. In addition, after the on-board vehicles are on the road, there should be a set of new laws and regulations to support them, and this set of laws and regulations is related to many departments, and they need to cooperate to promote this mode of transportation faster. From the perspective of China's national conditions, it is still more difficult to achieve close cooperation between various departments," said the industry insiders.
â— The future will become a development trend Despite the difficulties, it is undeniable that the trunk transportation mode represents the future development of road freight.
"Now the logistics market is not booming, many less formal logistics companies have gradually withdrawn from the historical arena. For existing logistics companies, transformation and upgrading is the trend of the times." Gao Weizhi said: "At present we are delighted to see that through integration Large-scale logistics enterprises have gradually increased, and the utilization rate of advanced technologies and concepts such as platformization and big data has also shown an increasing trend. As a transportation mode to improve utilization, container transportation will certainly be accepted by these enterprises, and it is expected that 甩Box transportation will be the future direction."
"At present, the country's development has entered a new normal, the cost pressure of manufacturers will continue to increase, and the requirements for logistics will be more and more refined in the future, both cheap and timely. This will force logistics companies. Transformation and fine operation.†Yuan Zhen believes that in the future, not only the container transportation will become the main transportation mode in the future, but the more mature logistics modes in Europe and the United States will gradually be used and used by domestic logistics companies.
In the view of Dai Dingyi, executive vice president of the China Logistics Association, although the current container shipping is still in its infancy, the prospects are good, because the transportation mode like the division of labor is the future development trend of logistics.
In addition, Dai Dingyi pointed out that it is now necessary to find a market entry point to enable it to generate significant business benefits. In addition, the implementation of the container transport model may have an impact on the existing system and regulatory system. Therefore, an efficient regulatory department is needed to adapt to changes in the market, and a breakthrough system is proposed under the existing framework to guide the market to improve efficiency and standardize safety.
