Road transport vehicles will enter the era of heavy
The pace of renewal of road, passenger and freight transport vehicles has further accelerated this year. The situation of high-end passenger cars and heavy trucks in the East China region has been in short supply, and the increase in the number of heavy trucks and high-grade passenger cars put into operation by various transport companies has increased significantly.
According to industry analysts in Jiangsu, the vehicle renewal of Jiangsu's large transport companies will be fully completed within the next two years, which means that road transport vehicles have entered the era of gentrification and heavy-duty. Vehicle renewal has become a key link in the competition of large transport companies.
The reporter learned from the two major transportation group companies in Nanjing and Jinling, Jiangsu Province that the two companies’ vehicles had renewed investments of more than 7 million yuan last year and will reach 10 million yuan this year. The renewal momentum of vehicles in some major passenger transport lines in Jiangsu is swift and swift, and the renewed investment of some intercity passenger line vehicles in southern Jiangsu is measured in the form of tens of millions of yuan. Some passenger transport lines have successively achieved gentrification. Fu Youhu, deputy general manager of Nanjing Wangjiawan Logistics Co., Ltd., said: “The heavy trucks are the trend of the times. The speed of vehicle renewal will determine the survival of the transportation companies in the next five years.†Individual vehicle operations in the traditional cargo loading market appear unprecedented The dilemma. The reporter learned from the biggest Wangjiawan freight loading market in Nanjing that the shadow of reduced supply and reduced profits is getting heavier. The owner of a stolen intermediary company introduced that it was more and more difficult for vehicles under 10 tons to roam goods. The owner of the cargo offered low prices and could not make any money. Many owners had already quitted or switched to heavy trucks, generally more than 15 tons. . Heavy vehicles can make money and business is good. Highway governance super opened the prelude to heavy vehicles.
According to market participants, the nation’s unified handling of road overloading and over-limitation actions first sparked a wave of vehicle renewal. After the start of the Super Operation on June 20, 2004, some trucks stopped running, followed by a rise in transportation prices. Immediately thereafter, there was an upsurge in the purchase of large vehicles. According to statistics from the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Highway Transportation, in 2004, 2356 new passenger buses were added in Jiangsu, an increase of more than 30%, and 11,000 large-scale trucks and container trucks were added, an increase of nearly 50%, both setting a record high. Officials of the Jiangsu Transportation Authority believe that the gentrification of operating buses and the heavy transport of freight vehicles are the result of a combination of factors, and this trend will become more apparent. Changes in toll collection policies have further stimulated vehicle updates. On January 20, 2005, the toll collection standards for highway vehicles in Jiangsu Province were fully reduced. The general toll of ordinary roads was reduced by approximately 10%, and the freight rate for trucks with a carrying capacity of 10 to 15 tons (including 15 tons) was reduced by 20%, 15 tons. The above-mentioned average large-scale, ultra-large trucks and container vehicles have been reduced by an average of 30%. According to industry sources, the ultra-superior operation has eliminated the super-profit model of small-sized vehicles under 10 tons. Adjustment of the charging policy has made small vehicles completely unprofitable in Jiangsu. The new charging policy encourages the development of multi-axis and large-scale transportation vehicles.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Highway Bureau, the actual toll of mega-vehicles has declined even more. According to the new highway toll collection standard, 45 yuan will be charged for every 15 tons of trucks and 40 yuan for a truck with a 40-ton capacity. If there is no limit, a toll station will only have to pay 45 yuan. According to the previous standard, through the ordinary highway toll stations, one must pay 120 yuan at a time. The new standard also increased the crackdown on over-limit vehicles. For parts of the trucks exceeding 30-50%, 50-100%, and 100%, the added fees have been increased by a factor of 1.5, 2 and 3 from the previous to 2, 3 and 4 times respectively. For a truck that exceeds 100% of the limit, the normal portion and the portion within 30% of the limit will be charged tolls according to normal standards, and the exceeding portion will be charged at 4 times of the basic rate. The operation of highway passenger transport companies has directly promoted the gentrification of passenger transport vehicles. Since 2004, Jiangsu Province has fully implemented its corporate operations. The two transportation companies in Changzhou and Xiangyang negotiated one by one with the individual operators, and finally acquired 59 individual bus buses at a time with RMB 12 million. The average vehicle purchase and compensation was RMB 200,000. Immediately afterwards, the two companies jointly invested 9 million yuan and placed 16 Daewoo, Jinlong and other high-end buses on one of the lines. In 2005, the proportion of vehicles planned for commercialization in Jiangsu Province will reach 30%. There will be 3,000 passenger vehicles that will be contracted and affiliated to the operating system and will be operated in a company-wide manner. The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Transportation plans to use another three to five years to achieve 70% of the company's vehicles. This move means that there will be 7,500 small and low-grade passenger cars exiting the trunk passenger transport market. The upsizing and heavy-duty of transport vehicles are also the result of market forces. According to a survey on the transformation of the passenger transport line in 2004 in Jiangsu Province, the number of passenger transport vehicles after the transformation has been reduced by half. From Nanjing to Gaochun short-distance passenger transportation line (Ninggao line), there were originally 79 commercial vehicles. After the transformation of the company, only 40 vehicles were used to meet the operational requirements. According to Wang Tianshui, head of the Gaochun County Transportation Management Institute, oil consumption is currently at an average of 0.9 yuan per kilometer, and the cost of passing through the bridge is 0.8 yuan per kilometer, and a daily trip from Nanjing to Takatsubu is approximately 500 kilometers. After the transformation of the company, the total mileage of the vehicle will be reduced by half, and 39 vehicles will save 19,500 kilometers. The fuel and the cost of crossing the bridge will save 30,000 yuan a day, saving 900,000 yuan a month and 10,800,000 yuan a year. Mei Zhengrong, director of the Jiangsu Provincial Transportation Administration Bureau, said: “The situation of other passenger transport lines is basically the same as that of the Ninggao Line. We have done some statistics. There are currently 30,000 buses operating in Jiangsu, and at least 7500 can be reduced through corporate transformation. The average daily journey for each vehicle is about 400 to 500 kilometers. According to the most conservative estimate, it can save 3 million kilometers in one day and reduce gasoline consumption by 200,000 tons.†If the freight market is considered, the heavy-duty era The profit margin of the transportation market will be even greater.
