Why does the dumping and transportation fail to become mainstream in China?


Drop-and-hook transport is a kind of transportation mode that reduces costs and increases efficiency. Why can it become mainstream in Europe and America but not in China?

Hanging transport, stop without stopping.

Improve the work efficiency of tractors, reduce the number of tractors, reduce investment costs, reduce the number of drivers, reduce personnel expenses, reduce the no-load rate, and increase the use of vehicles.... The advantages of dumping and hanging transportation. When talking about a big push, the four words are summarized. "Reduce costs and increase efficiency."

However, this kind of cost-cutting and efficiency-enhancing transport model has not been popularized in China. Why dumping and transporting can be the mainstream mode of transport in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, but not in China?

What is the reason for rejection?


Drop-and-hook transport is not a new term. It has long been proven to increase efficiency and reduce costs in Europe and the United States. In 1996, the State Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the “Notice Concerning the Launching of Container Tractor Trailer Transport”. The Ministry of Transport also attaches great importance to the suspension of transport, and even introduced a nationwide project funding support policy. However, the effect is not good. The dumping and transportation cannot be popularized in China. What are the reasons? The reporter checked a lot of information. The general argument is this:

There are five restrictive factors in the suspension and transportation: policy system, organization level, function of freight station, information construction, and transportation vehicles.

Policy and system constraints. The development of dumping and transportation has been severely restricted by the management system and has not yet been completely eliminated. Such as semi-trailer license management issues, semi-trailer vehicle detection issues, customs supervision issues, toll issues, semi-trailer insurance issues.

Low degree of organization. The status quo of “small spreads and weak spreads” of road freight is not conducive to the development of suspension and transport. The first is that the suspension and transport cannot obtain sufficient and stable supply guarantees. The second is that there will be various breaks in the cooperation between tractors and trailers, which will increase management costs and affect overall efficiency. Third, the low degree of organization can easily lead to vicious competitions such as reducing freight and overloading.

The freight station is incomplete. There is a high requirement for the quantity, layout, and service functions of road freight stations in drop-and-hook transportation, and it is difficult to meet the needs of existing freight stations.

The level of information is low. At present, the level of informatization in the freight industry is still relatively low. Logistics companies do not have an information system, and they look for sources of supply through a small blackboard. There are a number of such enterprises and phenomena. The low level of informatization makes it difficult to meet the dynamic dispatching and management of drop-and-hook transport vehicles and organize the requirements for cargo loading.

The vehicle is not equipped properly. Technically, the suspension transport requires standardized vehicle equipment to ensure that different tractors and trailers can be freely combined. In terms of quantity, the ratio of tractors and trailers needs to be around 1:3, so as to optimize the capacity of “one-touch” and “multiple-hanging”.

This is a common saying. In response to this problem, the reporter also interviewed COO Hao Rui, a small secret agent of logistics, as they officially announced last month that they will launch the smart suspension transportation service.

"Scuffing and transportation cannot be popularized in China. We must look for the reasons from the market itself. China's LTL and vehicles are highly fragmented and fully competitive markets. Manufacturers, freight forwarding companies, and dedicated line companies are relatively small, and long-distance trucks are There is still no large-scale vehicle transportation company in the highly dispersed individual households.” Rui Rui told reporters that he believes there are three major problems in the domestic dumping and transport:

1, small size, big limitations, there is no scale <br> <br> traditional logistics companies to try to drop and pull transport is often limited to a single internal logistics enterprises, or joint venture between 2-3 on the point to point line, Or concentrate on specific areas such as ports and stations. Once the market supply changes with seasons and other factors, the two ends of the line are restricted to each other, the space for scheduling optimization is limited, and the driving efficiency of the vehicle will be greatly affected. While logistics companies are engaged in drop-and-hook transportation, most of the purpose is to increase corporate profits and gain competitive advantage, instead of expanding the fleet size and serving other similar logistics companies.

2, a low degree of market <br> <br> China's main transport market is still in a process of gradual specification of individual vehicles in staff salaries, fuel consumption, maintenance and so on itself has a cost advantage, vehicle modification, trailer sets Cards, overloads and other phenomena are still more difficult to ban in a short time. At present, most of the suspension and transport companies adopt the heavy asset fleet model. The economic benefits of offloading and hanging transportation are offset by non-standard market behaviors, resulting in the situation that bad money drives out good money. s reason.

3, behind the technical means <br> <br> want to drop and pull transport really do need on a nationwide backbone transport network for orders fragmented, complete with dynamic deployment of the front trailer. Behind this is the need for huge capital investment and technical support. This event is of great significance, but the investment is also great. The traditional logistics company's development model determines that he cannot do it.

There are many reasons for this. The question is who can solve it. Is it possible to transport smart suspensions similar to small logistics secrets?

Reasons, who can solve?

Not to mention that the Logistics Secretary can solve the problems of suspension and transportation, we first look at the data changes brought about by the use of intelligent suspension and transportation services.

100% increase in efficiency. "If the original efficiency value is 1, then the efficiency value after throwing and hanging is 2. And 2 is not the end, the theoretical end may be 3, which is the efficiency increased by 200%." ​​Rui Rui to Beijing, Guangzhou line as an example to the reporter An account: In the past, an individual driver could run a maximum of 3 to 4 round trips per month. Now he can run 6 to 8 round trips. What saves time is loading and unloading.

The cost is reduced by 5%. "After the suspension, the small logistics helper can help reduce the cost of the trunk line by 5%, which is an increase of 5% in net profit." Rui Rui said that intelligent dumping and transportation is an upgraded version of the small secret car. Small secret car, a single card can help save 500-1000 yuan. Or take the Beijing-Guangzhou line as an example. The unilateral market price is 15,000 yuan, while the small secret special car only receives 14,000 yuan.

The efficiency is improved by 100% and the cost is reduced by 5%. So, can it improve the overall domestic suspension and transport status?

“The small secret of logistics adopts the model of integrating individual vehicles in the society to form a light asset suspension trailer team, which can better adapt to market competition and use market-oriented means to solve problems. The same can be seen from the trajectory of the transformation of the taxi industry, when road transport After the industry really grows several large-scale light asset fleets, it will also reversely promote the industry's reform and standardization process.” Pan Rui said that in 2015, Logistics Xiaomi focused on the development of the small secret special car business on dozens of lines. Completed the customer's ability to accumulate and fragment orders, and also established the scale of hundreds of dedicated car fleets. It can be said that the basic backbone transportation network has taken shape, and it has accumulated a wealth of markets, prices, supply fluctuations, vehicle efficiency Other aspects of the data. On such a basis, the rules of the game have been formulated to break through the obstacles to the separation of the individual vehicle's head and trailer, and the operation of the suspension and transport can be said to follow the trend.

The introduction of smart suspension is the flow of small secrets, but it is still time to test if it can force industry transformation and standardization.
